lacking in pony but not in livliness, I post a comment further upon metal. To whit, Blind Guardian. I was introduced to them when I started reading a webcomic following Jack, who had died some time before the beginning of the comic, and currently was employed as death. Also, he was the sin of Wrath but in the comments the artist reaffirmed that those were two separate titles, and Jack had pursued both, but had since forgotten why, or what came before. One of the avid readers suggested "Under the Ice" as the theme for the comic. It works, I guess. I think I still have a .zip of his complete Rework: the Dead comic, which was an interesting take on the topic of zombies. Considering how dark the themes in his comics, I was surprised when he came out swinging to speak against the two kids in the Columbine thing. I mean, after some research I have to agree Harris & Klebold were horrible *people* but I also completely sympathized with their burning need to achieve success and put the stupid grown-ups in their place. Which they did, despite it all. Their suicide made their success unreproachable; the secrecy their parents enforced on the crime research prevented most from dethroning their memories. They have achieved immortality and influenced policies far more deeply than had they chosen any other path with their life. Sorry, didn't mean for that to go so dark so fast. But that chain, above, can't be broken. Blind Guardian is, to me, about horrible people in untenable circumstances finally breaking, and doing SOMETHING, even if it was wrong. ...you're welcome...?
