The common curse, "By the Nine and the Six!" Actually comes from a popular and sacriligious serial "opera story" often printed in the less respected newspapers of the Five Nations known as "The Nine and The Six". It details the drama that goes hand in hand with being a deity trying to live a normal life. In one of the more infamous arcs, Boldrei and The Fury got into a vicious catfight, resulting ultimately in Boldrei's nose being bloodied. "Bolderi's Bloody Nose" is now itself a common invective.

... srsly?
Strangely, I always interpretted 'bloody' as the British swear word, which didn't make a lot of sense but hey ... lots of stuff doesn't.
Another day, another three or four entries to my Ignore List.

And another vote for Eye Of The Wolf ;-) But I think we have a better chance if we post this over at the IDW forums.
But I'm also really excited about the Abraxis Wren comics. I loved Taint Of The Black Brigade. Unfortunatly the first book of the series is sold out here in Germany.
To the Infestation 2 crossover:
I don't believe there will be Transformers in the Eberron books. Last year there was the Infestation 1 crossover (CVO/Transfomers/Star Trek/G.I. Joe/Ghostbusters) and... it wasn't a real crossover. There was one character from the CVO comic who went to the other four but no interaction between the other titles. IDW has announced that there will be more "crossover" this time, but I'm still expecting that this will only happen in Infestation 2 #2 in march. So if you only read Infestation #1 and #2 I doubt that there will be any Transformers (btw Steampunk Transformers), Turtles or G.I. Joes in it.
I'm really looking forward to this and hope that I will not be dissapointed as with the recent IDW Drizzt mini-serie. But the ongoing Dungeons and Dragons written by John Rogers is GREAT.

Hi all. Just saw this thread so wanted to give some info. The first two comics are part of IDW's crossover event, where the Old Ones of Cthulhu mythos invade various worlds. That is the extent of the crossover in Eberron. No Transformers or anything like that. Just the Old Ones. I've also just finished a 40 page annual tentateivly called Murder on the Breland Express, where Wren tries to take a break on a luxury Lightning Rail, but things go terribly wrong.
I did an interview with CBR about it where I said I'd also live to see more Eberron comics. There is so much potential there for different lines. Eberon: Noir. Eberron: S&S, that kind of thing, each line covering a different sub-genre that fits into Eberron. I'd also love ot do some long form, monthly stories with Wren, really spread out the investgations. I'm finding that he and Torin work relly well in comics. It's been great fun.

Paul, thank you greatly for chiming in. I don't think there's a word for how happy I would be if multiple Eberron comic lines were released. There is a word for what I'd be doing, though: Subscribing. I've already told my FLGS to sign me up for the series thats coming out in February (what do we call it?), and if any more Eberron series came out, I'd subscribe to them too.

"Good!" said the Baron, sitting in his hall, "But Iron -- Cold Iron -- is master of them all." -Kipling Defenders: We ARE the wall! I've replaced the previous Edition Warring line in my sig with this one, because honestly, everybody needs to work together to make the D&D they like without trampling on somebody else's D&D.

Hi Oglwan The Crossover is called Infestation 2. The follow on Wren story that is not a crossover I think is just called Dungeons & Dragons: Eberron. ANd it would be great to see more Eberron comics. Imagine Keith's Thorn of Breland in comic form? It would be amazing. And Marcy Rockwell's Sabira. I've posted some of the covers over on my Facebook page, in case anyone wants a look. www.facebook.com/paul.crilley (I"m not sure if I can post images here?)

No, I was making a horrible joke.
Which I now regret...

Oh yeah, a monthly Abraxis Wren stories. I would be all in. Can we do something to help get things started (expect buying the IDW comics)?

Ho. Lee. Carp.
I am totally subscribing to these things *today*.
Paul, I really really enjoyed the Abraxis Wren books. Do whatever you have to to make a monthly series of Wren happen! I'll help hide the bodies if necessary.
You make such an awesome point about multiple Eberron lines. Thorn would DEFINATELY work as a comic book character.
And, of course, MORE EYE OF THE WOLF!
EDIT: Actually, why isn't WotC doing more to promote this? I haven't seen anything about this on the website and, hell, even Hellcow hadn't heard of it... straaange...
