BGH#497 The Price We Pay

theRedDeath on June 16, 2011

One thing I didn't make explicitly clear in the last comments section (Because I thought it was pretty clear IN the comic) was that, here at the very end of BGH, Evan has truly grown as a character. That he has changed, and learned the lesson that true power comes from within, and that it can't be obtained easily. Because that's the whole point of fiction, that the character has changed from who he was at the beginning of the story.

Contrastingly, we have here Death Master, who is learning all too late the ultimate reward for those we seek power from an outside source.

(look at meeee, I'm an aaaaartist….)

*Also you get a little meta cameo/in-joke by a certain series creator…

if one fears death, they lose their life to fear. if one loves death then one loses their life to death. the trick is to neither love nor fear death.

awesome... however now that he's gone and can't come and kill me for saying this I have to say... Death Master would probably be 100 times scarier if he wasn't in the sweater vest :P

New goal: not dying, like, ever!

But why are you hanging out with SuperDan's ex-girlfriend?

algeya at 5:52AM, June 17, 2011

One of the death hell people says "whats up superdan, ready for hell kareoke hour?" Evan is a sore loser he getss rid of that mcguffing because some one would take away from him. Anyway it seems that most american super heroes/villains are his superpowers a gift and they feel that they must do something with them. unlike most japan heroes that usually gain powers with extraudinary training and effort Omg 3 pages to wrap up BGH

@Al: No, Eric was not trying to obtain immortality by being accepted into the Lemiscate Society. That had nothing to do with it.

alschroeder at 3:36AM, June 17, 2011

Isn't that what his brother was trying to do, by trying to join the (Porky Pig voice) Lemnisca--Lemnisca--Infinity Symbol Society? Not die?--Al
