I thought I would use this opportunity to shamelessly self promote a little project I have going on at DrunkDuck.com.
Basically, I've entered into a tournament style event, where my comic character fights other characters until one is voted the winner. It's in its early stages at the moment, but I've got my first pages up, and I thought some of you may want to support me by following the fight and maybe even vote for me
.
You can find the first pages here:

The rest of the fights are here:

(The ones highlighted in red are the current battles, although some have yet to begin)
Okay, so now for some background. The character I've entered is as follows:
Lord Torturemire
Background:
After working fifteen millenia fulltime as senior administrator to Hades, Arnold Torturemire (as he was then known) handed in his letter of resignation and started to travel the world. This posed some problems - as any servent of Hades can tell you, it can be a bugger getting seats in restaurants (and the constant persecution by holy water wielding warriors is not appreciated either. However, during a prolonged hike through the Derbyshire Countryside, he met a beautiful enchanting woman. He promptly killed her, had an evil spirit inhabit her body. They married, and three short years later, Torturemire inherited the Lordship of Tockston. Then he got bored and decided to beat people up.
Powers/Weapons:
Lord Torturemire has 4 spidery legs, with which he can use to rake at people. He's also about as strong as the world's strongest normal mortal on steroids. With his staff he can summon the forces of darkness - or at least those forces that are weak enough to be under his control (minor spirits, a dark tendril or two, that kind of thing) and also stab things with the pointy end. He also has an axe. You can use your imagination for that one.
Weaknesses/Fears:
Lord Torturemire, like all evil beings, is susceptable to any manner of holy objects. Any overly bright lights may singe or burn his flesh. He also has a completely rational fear of kittens (those litte buggers - they'd kill you soon as look at you). Other than that, his legs aren't as strong as the rest of his body.
In the first round, he is facing an opponent named Cat-Man-Chibi-Thing (don't ask - I don't know the answer) inside the body of an old man called Mr Fillibaster, Fantastic Voyage style.
Oh yeah, and my alias on the site is 'Sticking'.
