Eddie
Drood discovers that the murdered Droods and the damaged Drood Hall that he has
come home to are from a different dimension, meaning that his family has been
sent somewhere else, and sets out to find them, going up against Unholy Crow
Lee, the most evil man in the world. Appearing or mentioned are: Merlin’s
Glass (an alternate universe version of the one seen in Green's Nightside books); the Nightside, Walker, the London Knights, John Taylor, Dead Boy, the Walking Man, Augusta Moon, Kayleigh’s Eye and
the Salvation Army Sisterhood (all from the Nightside series); the Kandarian language (a nod to the Kandarian demons from the Evil Dead films); Castle Frankenstein (from Mary Shelley's novel); an ancient
flame that bestows eternal youth (from H. Rider Haggard's Ayesha books); tana leaves (from Universal Studios' original Mummy film series); the
Carnacki Institute and Catherine Latimer (from Green's Ghost Finders books); MI13 (the CU version of the British government agency seen in the Marvel Universe); an old Transylvanian vampire count who was trying to set himself up in England (Dracula);
the Scooby-Doo gang (self-explanatory); SAS combat sorcerers (from Warren Ellis' comic Gravel); and the Traveling Doctor, who said that bow ties
are cool (the CU version of the Doctor of Doctor Who fame, specifically his eleventh incarnation.)

I was going to send you my notes on this one bit you have it covered
ReplyDeleteIs this really the Doctor rather than Omega, who I thought was the CU's Doctor counterpart?
ReplyDeleteDoctor Omega IS the Doctor's CU counterpart. This would be Omega's eleventh incarnation, for CU purposes.
ReplyDeleteAh, I didn't realize that Omega was supposed to have had incarnations that specifically paralleled each of the Doctor's.
