Fantasy

Sort of a gothic superman, Elric was an albino emperor of a dying race. He was kept alive by drugs and potions until he found the black sword "Stormbringer". The sword passes energy to Elric from the soul or life force that it sucks out of it's victim(s), thus giving Elric the strenght to exist on his own.

The Elric series was fantastic in the portrayal of what I would consider to be almost the anti-hero, sometimes with cruelty and sometimes with compassion. The other eternal champions series were pretty good as well, but not as good as the Elric saga. I will add reviews below as I have time.
