Durkin sounds like John Rhys-Davies, and there's nothing you can do to change it.

I hear Mike Myers' Scottish accent, myself. (His dad, Fat Bastard, for example.) It probably helps that I don't remember what Papa Smurf sounds like.

This is who I have always placed with the voices of OotS. Disagree with me all you want on this. Lawrence Fishbourne= Roy Greenhilt Kirsten Dunst= Haley Starshine Andy Dick= Elan/Nale Nick Frost= Durkon Sam Kinnison= Belkar James Earl Jones= Xykon [And I'm not alone on this! Rich Himself says it in Start of Darkness.] That one boss guy from 'Office Space'= Redcloak Ben Stein= Vaarsuvius Matt Damon= Darkness Creature Jet Li= Hinjo David Carradine= Shojo/Soon Lucy Liu= Miko Carmen Electra= Sabine Mike Myers= Thog There. I think that gets all the main players off the list. J.A.B.C. fucked around with this message at 08:13 on Aug 18, 2007 |

All of those are horrible, and google is telling me there's no such person as James Earl Woods. I mean would you cast kirsten dunst as a spunky energetic and interesting character.

I think James Woods as the smarmy, too important to care sorcerer lich is pretty drat good. That is assuming he didn't mean James Earl Jones, in which case it's awful.

This is going to sound odd, but Xykon in my head sounds just like Tyler Durden. Something about that spunky, can-do nihilism.

Xykon's not a nihilist though, he's all about absolute rule via power. And coffee. If anyone in the series is a nihilist, it's Redcloak. On a more serious matter: Andy Dick as Nale? I can understand that, we're not supposed to like Nale. But Elan? I like Elan. I want to keep liking Elan. Your suggestion would make that impossible. I imagine Elan as having a very heroic, booming voice, but someone also capable of doing charming and naive. I nominate Brendan Fraser until someone thinks of someone better. I have to say, having identical twins that look exactly alike, and yet have completely mirror-opposite voices would be very funny.

I'm at Gencon and the Goblins writer AND erfworld writer are both here. They have a booth. Erfworld has postcards out with little scenes from the comic, including one with the creepy lesbian torture scene. I briefly spoke to the goblins guy. I'll go back tomorrow. Want me to ask them any questions?

Ok, as an apology to my earlier screw-up... It was James Earl Jones, also known as the voice of Darth Vader, Mufasa, and the CNN guy. And I stand by all of my choices, so piss off. Besides, Kirsten Dunst would do a drat good Haley, and Andy Dick has the nasal quality in his voice to make his voice enough to make you want to beat him senseless. Hence, why I chose him for Elan, an awesome character who, unluckily, has those qualities that would make Roy want to strangle him. As for Redcloak, I have no explanation for that one. Besides, I thought this was how you HEARD the characters, not how you think who would act them best. J.A.B.C. fucked around with this message at 08:27 on Aug 18, 2007 |

I've never even considered James Earl Jones, simply because nothing Xykon has ever said has any real gravitas. That's the hilarious thing, though. He's James Earl Jones, but he's flippant James Earl Jones. Can you imagine it?

(Yes, I'm saying your opinion is wrong) Elan is supposed to be annoying in the "innocent dumb little kid who doesn't shut up" kind of way, not "spastic screaming human being". And, James Woods would be perfect for Xykon.

James Earl Jones as Xykon would work if he pulls off the same sort of tone he had in that Simpsons Halloween episode where he was the haunted house and chewed them out for being horrible people at the end. That flippant tone would be perfect.

Sorry but to me this looks like the most generic/stereotyped casting this side of a hollywood film  Lawrence Fishburn as the black guy, Ben Stein as the smart guy, David Carradine as a wise asian guy, Mike Myers as the green oafish one, Lucy Liu as an asian martial artist... Though Jet Li (who is not exactly proficient in english), Andy Dick, and Sam Kinnison all kind of boggle my mind. I do like the idea of Matt Damon as the thing in the darkness is amusing if for no other reason than Team America and "MATT DAMON!" Why do all of you imagine Elan with these annoying voices? He's child-like and optimistic kind of like Edward Norton in Death to Smoochy to me.

How about John Cleese for Durkon? Kiefer Sutherland as Belkar. Haley? Helen Hunt, maybe. Thog could be done by Craig Nelson. Xykon: Why hasn't anyone suggested John DiMaggio? And of course you get Billy West to do Redcloak. Elan could be David Spade, and Nale could be Jason Mewes? Robot Bastard fucked around with this message at 04:49 on Aug 19, 2007 |

But you know what? You got me thinking, now this is out on a limb, but what about David Spade for... Belkar! Think about it, instead of a sort of frenzied shouting midget, it's a bitingly sarcastic midget.

Could this be the start of Burlew's two week or more hiatus? I can't imagine the current cliffhanger is how he wants to end the next collection, but its been quite a few days since we've seen a strip.
