But only one has names its characters with puns. Plus, I use "your mouth is full of wrong" in real life.Venus Bluegenes?
Way of the Tiger: Inferno!Fairly certain I didn't realise it was really the end and assumed there'd be another one along shortly.
So: this book wasn't as bad as I'd heard, but it wasn't great.

One thing I really like is that there's no 'do you have item x, if not game over' moment. Having certain items or skills makes your life a lot easier, and you can definitely box yourself into a point where a lack
Would the Revere and The Dead volume be worth picking up? I am totally unfamiliar with both strips and need someone to recommend or otherwise.Two of the best strips ever to appear in the Prog. Either one would be worth the money. Both together is unbeatable value.
