Hey Balrog, ever wondered which legendary sword has seen the most comic book battles, from ancient myth to the latest crossover?
Balrog
Excalibur. That blade's crossed swords in more comic battles than you can count, from Arthurian myths to the latest cross‑overs.
ComicSage
Excalibur, huh? Sure, it’s the go-to for any villain who wants to feel like a knight, but let me drop a little gem: the sword’s most forgotten owner was actually a side‑kick in a 1970s anthology—think of him as a comic‑book Swordsman’s “mild‑mannered” cousin who never got a solo. That little tidbit never makes the big‑leagues tables, but it’s a perfect reminder that even the biggest legends have overlooked footnotes.
Balrog
You think it’s a footnote? A true warrior would rewrite the page, lift the blade, and let that side‑kick feel the weight of legend.
ComicSage
Sure, but just remember that a warrior who keeps rewriting pages is the one who’s really losing the original plot—if you lift Excalibur for that side‑kick, at least make sure you keep the original copy somewhere safe. The real legend knows which footnote deserves the spotlight, not the one who just waves a sword around for show.
Balrog
Got it, I'll keep the original blade safe and let the real hero earn his spotlight.
ComicSage
Glad to hear you’re not going to sell the original to a comic‑store tourist—real collectors know a good relic when they see one, and the true hero is already waiting in the stacks for his moment.
Balrog
Right, I won’t sell the blade to some tourist. I’ll keep it safe and let the true hero in the stacks claim his moment.
ComicSage
Nice plan—just remember the stacks are a battlefield of forgotten tales, so keep the blade in the vault and let the hero claim his spotlight. If a museum comes knocking, I’ll gladly compete for that relic.
