Warning: inappropriate use of spirit stones may warp your powers of logic. Keep out of the reach of children.

Oh, and apothecaries!

JNP: Only two? We'll see if we can work in some raindrops on roses and whiskers on kittens ...!

Sky: Good question. I suspect they are. That's probably why all the recycling bins are green! ;-)

Deadite: Thanks!

Thip: I guess a lot of people favour peaceful means of achieving their objectives until they actually get the power to try a more "direct" approach!

Paul: That'll be the official supervillain look he's modelling there! ;-)

That's the same thing my preacher did to me to get me in church!

4th wall breaking of the panels and skeletized death! 2 of my favorite things to see in a comic ^^

Lovely page! A very good moral about the corruption of religious egos. *makes note to empty cookie jar of spirit stones into bin.....but which one.. are these things recyclable?*

Power corrupts, and instant power corrupts instantly, it would seem. Where did the benevolent help-the-poor guy suddenly go? Super story!

Adam: Thanks. At least I hope that was a positive "Daaaamn!"

Cyberdog: All we need now is for someone to bring the barbecue sauce!

Khard: Absolutely. Or an anything-else-ist either, I should imagine!

Lem: Heh - the most powerful force known anywhere. Even in the spirit world!

Starstriker/Eraser/Trevor/Stranger/Azu/Brogan/jgib: Thanks, everyonel!

Tantz: Something about the devil having all the best tunes, I suspect ...! :-)

Lance: Thanks - when I planned this sequence, I didn't realise there'd be quite so much green on one page. Overall, though, I think it scales up neatly from the previous two!

Darwin: Heh - we do try!

Hero: Thanks!

Peipei: As always, your instincts serve you well!

GodofWar: Years, power and green spirit stones. A lethal combination!

Abt: Okay. You have my permission to substitute "alchemist" for "apothecary". But if you see your father grinding glowing green stones into a powder, be on your guard!

SoItBegins: See - it all makes sense now. Kind of!

why do all villains speak true words, while good guys spew skewed logic in pop culture these days? It's a conspiracy, I tell you. ;)

Coyote: Yes, I'm afraid that's true of most zealots! The obvious current example would be the Islamic fundamentalists who are happy to quote the Crusades as examples of barbarism (and justifiably so!) but see no contradiction in sending people to kill and be killed in the name of their faith. Or, to move it away from religion, the Communist leaders who decry the evils of Fascism while believing that their system is justified in subjecting people to identical miseries. Credo is just a fictional example of something that is all too common in the real world. Except for his ability to fire green energy bolts, obviously! ;-)

Doc/Nepath: Thanks, guys.

Darius: Could have? I'm sure it has happened many, many times! Sadly there are all too many people who believe their faith justifies all sorts of lunacy!

Matt: Heh - that disintegration panel was one of those which, when I wrote the script, I liked the way it played out in my head but I wasn't sure how well it would transfer to the page. Once again Nickel proved more than capable of making it look even better than I'd imagined it!

Repo: Thanks. Chalk another one up for the artist!

UsedBooks: You're right, of course. But the fattening ones sure do taste good! ;-)

Ah, hypocrisy and religious zealots. Like apple and pie, I tell you. It seems murdering in the name of faith is only fine with Credo as long as it's him who's doing it.

He just put pure belief into himself. I didn't think that it would result in an inflated ego, but I didn't really think about the side effects. I love how this could of actually happened if someone was, somehow, able to drink pure energy and belief.

That is quite a bizarre murder method!

Sage advice, DAJB. I suggest children stay away from all forms of supposed super-power creating materials. Most are carcinogenic. The rest are fattening.
