- Reading: Misguided hero
Looking for books on the theme of a hero who realises he's actually the villain. Like Saul/Paul in the Bible. In comic book form there's I am Legend. I'm sure there's more of these, I just can't think of them. So stories or conversion, or stories of realising you're the evil that you see in the world.

The guy from I am legend still wasn't the bad guy
Off-topic but:
I'm on my term break and I went home to my mother's place and I ate like an entire 8-pack of Snickers bars.
I still crave chocolate and just discovered a single Mars bar, however the packaging of the entire 8-pack is gone and I can't check the expiration date, and I think I remember seeing Mars bars at my mother's place a few months ago.
Now I wonder if that bar I have now might have belonged to the set of Mars bars I had seen back then, at my mother's place you know.
What I wanted to ask basically is, if this Mars bar is still good to eat or if I will be cursed with food poisoning if I eat it.
Bumpu desu
you either die a hero or live long enough to see yourself become a villain

true brother true
now also accepting books dealing with a hero past their prime, in different time.
or a hero still fighting fights most people have long forgotten about.
Oedipus Rex I guess

Second Apocalypse is a really, really good pick for the second one. Drusas Achamian is all about that shit.
