He had a Bar Mitzvah, so he's been a real man for a decade.

Even the aliens were human!

"The Turks were brutal, too" doesn't make the guy that impaled a turkitude of them on poles any less terrifying.

They're just going to be really snidey and call her a lesbian.

Make 'em purple, like Jinx!

Seconding the Magic: the Gathering storyline. The Brothers' War is legitimately great fantasy, not just for a tie in.
