♫ ‘Cause this is KILLER, killer night!
And no one’s gonna save you from the Cult about to strike
You know it’s cultist, ritual night
You’re gonna lose your life inside a killer ritual tonight! ♫
“Listen for a while” is not exactly the same as “stay a while and listen”. But in a world of Candy Saga Crush-style appropriations of single words I guess old Deckard Cain might have had his Horadric Legal Staff send a letter of cease and desist.
null point anyhow on both fronts hawt babe turned into diablo, deckard cain died in pain, and a book is the only thing that could sue you. now how could a book sue you?
“Death is not nothingness”, huh? I wasn’t expecting that. Seems that he’s expecting some sort of afterlife…
It makes some sense, though, considering that Brother Tom seems to be knowledgeable about how other cultures perceive death, including the mystics, who arguably have the most insight outside the Cult.
Makes his doomsday philosophy a lot more grounded.
Until now, I thought he basically WAS lumped in with nihilists, too.
Pffft. What an idiot. Death is just the end of life and transition INTO NOTHINGNESS.
And also the question is likewise idiotic : Nihilism does not encourage inaction any more than it encourages action. The Nihilistic position is the impartial one. The indifferent one.
Ah, but action and inaction do not stand on equal footing. One needs a reason to act, and thus a lack of reasons is reason enough to not act.
Personally, I don’t believe in nihilists. Not true nihilists, anyway. Anybody who is alive has proven that they at least believe their own feelings of thirst and hunger are worth acting on.

It looks very Ren-&-Stimpy.
Well, that bit at the end kind of killed the mood.
It was rather grave, wasn’t it?
What a deadpan joke that was.
Just let it rest.
it’s futile to try, someone will just dig it back up again.
That person can go rot for all I care.
All your puns are killing me.
He’s preparing your seabed for sleeping with the fishes. Charon approves.
Well, this was definitely something I needed to read right before I went to bed.
Can’t sleep, cultist will eat me…can’t sleep, cultist will eat me…can’t sleep, cultist will eat me…
Can’t eat, cultist will sleep with me… wait, that’s not right.
Was thinking the same thing :P
“Look dude, it’s awesome you have a little story all set up for your tats and all, but I’m still gonna need that ID before I ink you up.”
Best “Ask a whatever” answer yet.
This comic is ripe with possible comment faces.
This has been bugging me for awhile. How can you worship death without wanting life to continue? No more life equals no more death, in the end.

Panel 3 is so going into my avatar collection.

He’s just dying to meet you.
Maybe he’s just a died in the wool anarchist?
This place may be a bad influence on me.
No… When he meets you its going to be killer.

I think Deckard Cain might be a little peeved people are trying to appropriate his phrase.
He’s dead anyway. Replaced by a “hawt babe”.

Well this ship’s going down, ’cause of the horrible weather
But, now there’s no need to frown, ’cause we’re all going together!
His face in panel three! Makes MY face hurt, I’m laughing so hard!
Your avatar has a very angry laughing face
and your is being coy are you enjoying his joke or that fact he will become a sacrifice?
Brother Tom! Brother Tom! Can I get on the magic death tatoo bus too?!
If only I had this guy as my Professor….
What a cheery little ditty :P
