Description

Here is the transcription of the comic's text:

Panel 1: Wizard: Boy! You are chosen! You must gather all seven rings of power to yourself and bring peace to the kingdoms!

Panel 2: Boy: How would that bring peace? You think concentration of power brings peace? Peace comes from balance of power.

Panel 3: Wizard: Look at Europe between the Napoleonic Wars and World War One. Or the Cold War. Do wizards even read books?

Panel 4: Boy: Oh yeah? You’re just gonna ignore all the minor powers dragged into proxy wars?

Panel 5: Wizard: Would you rather have great power conflict in the nuclear age?

Panel 6: Boy: Look at the Pax Romana! Pax Britannica! Pax Americana! Hegemonic stability means economic growth and widespread peace!

Panel 7: Wizard: Yeah, until the great power overextends, falls, opens up a power vacuum, and you get the most brutal wars in history!

Panel 8: Boy: Forget it! I’m gonna find some boy more suited for the job!

Panel 9: Later…

Wizard: Boy! You must gather the rings of power to yourself! Only you can save the world!

Panel 10: Boy: Wow. I’ll be like God.

Panel 11: Wizard: That’s the spirit!
