Redcloak: He lives, he learns, but things aren't going to end well for him. Unless they do.
If that was true he'd have little need to kill the witnesses... and Xykon is Chaotic, he has no idea how he'd react to threats...
And he doesn't really need leverage considering that X wants to do the ritual anyway, and there's nothing left of his family or anyone else that he might need to keep safe from X...
At most, especially since Burlew has shown he's pretty good at being more subtle then straight up blackmail, he'll keep the knowledge to himself until X actually is on the verge of getting rid of him...
Man, Rich sure knows how to shake things up. OotS rocks!

I'm just gonna blurt out the obvious here and say that one of these days those two are going to have a fight of epic proportions.
That or Redcloak manages to kill Tsukiko when Xykon isn't looking and pin the blame on someone else.

No way dude. This is paving the way for Redcloak/Tsukiko.
Tsukiko: Sort of an idiot.

Couldn't agree more.
I don't think that'll prevent Redcloak from tapping that.

You're just not happy until you see some true interracial, huh? "Once you go green, you leave where you've been"?
It's totally going to happen. They currently hate each other. And, well, love and hate are like two brothers who go on a date.

...
I... I would assume that's illegal or at least immoral in most countries.
Nah, similes are perfectly legal. And I can't really think of anybody who hates them, let alone considers them immoral.

I was talking about your incestuous date. You know, brothers going on a date?
Love and hate are kind of weird that way.

*backs away slowly*
Tsukiko: Not a total idiot, after all.

Rich Burlew is doing a kickstarter drive to try and get the OotS books, starting with War and XPs, back into print. Donate above $10.00 to get a Roy refrigerator magnet and a pdf about O-chul called "How the Paladin Got His Scar".

I honestly wish he'd just go with a publishing market of some sort, like Image or Dark Horse. They'd have a better time keeping the books in stock, would they not? Not to mention better/wider distribution?
They would also want control of his IP or a substantial investment from him to match it's worth. He would also make FAR less from each book, to the point where it may actually make him more money to just do it like he is now.
I don't buy that, entirely. Both Image and Dark Horse allow much more freedom over the IP. Hellboy, for example, is owned entirely by Mike Mignola but distributed exclusively through Dark Horse. IP owners from Image have all the control for their property, including movie rights, etc. It's not like DC or Marvel where they would own the rights to the characters, name, etc.
Redcloak: Um...holy shit.
Redcloak... you magnificent bastard, I'd have read your book if you had one.

Is it wrong of me to actually go "NOOOOOOOOOOOO!" over the ghoul with Thanh's shoes, rather than Tsukiko?
Redcloak: definitely not an idiot. Also, he is very matter-of-fact.
Tsukiko: Not gonna miss that much. Too usurpy.
