«Oldest ‹Older 201 – 369 of 369Dang it!!!! I wanted to be 200th reviewer! Damn you whoever was 200! Damn you!
No offense though.
Dantea out.
NO WAY! It's Mr. Bliss! He's back! I knew he could'nt be gone for long. Skulduggary must have just used his complete awsomeness to bring him back. I see the reminant in the picture to, and believe that the mask is some kind of containment device for the reminant. COOL!
I love the way the light falls. It's as though it is falling through a small shaft or window, such as those found in a cell...
The holes at his mouth seem to be emitting a gas of some sort, and the background appears smoky, which suggests that either this man is filled with gas/smoke or is a smoker.
One thing I feel I am able to say with near certainty is that he is almost definately not human.
Robbie, Mr. Bliss is BALD. And DEAD. I could see him coming back in the books if he was only stabbed to deth or something, with back-from-the-dead stuff the necromancer's have. But he was shredded to little tiny prices by a God. I'm sorry, but you just don't come back from something like that!
Dantea out.
Ghastly is still bald though, even with his faquade tatoo. I was very confident when I posted that it was Mr. Bliss, but he's bald to. Hmmm. MAybe Solomon wreath.... Nah. Oh, by the way, on the back cover of dark days, was that a vampire, a zombie (Go Scapegrace!) or Mr. Shudder's gist-........OH MY GOSH! It is MR. Shudder! Of course! How could I have missed this, with the reminent in him in the picture! He contains the reminants in his Hotel! It all makes sense!
By the Way, Mr. Landy, Could you PLEASE come to VIrginia. I realize that you live in Ireland, but the US thinks you are JUST as awsome as the Irish do. PLEASE! It would be the coolest thing ever! I love your series, wait, no, ADORE youre series! So, please, could you drop by Virginia?
I think it was sapost to be Dusk(the vampire) on da cover, Robbie, cuz of da scar, but I'm not shure cause vampires apparently rip off their cloths and hair and stuff to be fanged, red eyed, blood crazed monsters. But the guy on the cover had cloths, hair, skin, exc. exc., AND fangs and claws and stuff. Which confuses me cuz Dusk is the only one with a scar on his face.
Sorry to keep posting, but I just wanted to end this whole good guy bad guy dabate. Everybody says the guy on the back cover is evil because he LOOKS evil. Well, if you have'nt noticed, almost all the good guys in this series look evil, hence the witty saying on the front cover of the first book: And he's the GOOD guy. Look, all I'm saying is don't rule the good possibility out. He could be good OR evil.
See, I know my Skulduggery
By the way, thanks Dantea. But, it may also be Cealan. We don't k now what he's like, or the infected. Anyway, I think we should stay on the topic of the AWSOME new cover now. But, thanks for clarifying.
-FOS
two things: first, the guy is named tesseract. it says so when you download the pic. and secondly, I've started a wiki for skulduggery pleasant that i would love you guys to help out on. you can find it at skulduggery.wikia.com
racin_ruffian: Not the first American fan because I live in America and Advanced Reader's copies come out before the book is published. But let's just put this technicality aside and say that Skulduggery Pleasant is awesome and Mr. Landy should just come to America already. Work for you?
skyril: What sort of monster do you suppose we should use? I might be able to wrangle up a Jackalope or something, but in general we are lacking vicious, man-eating, magical creatures. Maybe he'll even come willingly if we bring enough cheese, warm socks, and comic books as offerings.
Mr. Landy: Come to the US.... I promise I'll try to keep the sparkly freaks away. (I cannot call them vampires because vampires DO NOT SPARKLE! Your books provide proof for that statement.) And I am not going to try to guess who the man in the mask is, seeing as my copy of Dark Days is still in the mail. *Grumble* So I'll sit this one out, and laugh my head off at the comments that say silly things about it being Valkyrie..... It isn't Valkyrie....right? RIGHT?!?!
I think that it is either someone new, that new character that someone made up or it is lord viles body that has been possesed by the one of those ghost things from the hotel.
Anyway i don't really care because Landy is probably sitting at his desk reading these and thinking 'Guess My Minions' or something.
Awesome cover, Awesome back cover, Awesome series and Awesome author.
AWESOME. PURE AWESOME.
ok ... erm ..... a guy with realy bad facal burns (due to his eyes and the bleeding skin around them)
im say ....bad, adn with the small amount of light in the picture im say in some sort of contament box.....
darth vader !!! in the skuldduggery world !!!
if not i have no idea but i await to find out :D
Lord Vile. That is a great guess, because you have mentioned him coming back SEVERAL times (giving away, much?) and I s'pose his face wouldn't be in great condition after all those years.
No that i presume he was handsome in the first place...
Or maybe China's facade tattoo has gone dreadfully, horribly wrong and behind that mask is the travesty that is Skulduggery's face.
And who was the guy on the back of Dark Days, anyway? Scapegrace? One of the Infected? Shudder's gist?
I'm still unsure...
THAT IS AMAZING!!! WOW!! It's so good! It's really creepy but amazing! I think he is like this hybrid fighter that looks like he is on his own by is actually just his pet of a bad bad bad bad guy.
Well done Tom!
Skyril, I know the books don't say he's black, but look at Tom's pictures.
i cant remeber the name, but someone posted it on fcbk, this is a completely new villain, i'll look at the name when school ends cause fcbk is blocked on this computer.
i just thought of something-maybe in some amazingly tragic time transport, they all get to see Baron Vengeous just after skulduggery threw that dynamite at him.
hmmm...that would explain all the burnt and scarring flesh....
The picture shows a man with a metal mask on. The mask is connected into his head and suggests that he may not be entirely human anymore. Smoke is coming from the holes where his mouth would be suggesting that the smoke is coming from inside him or just his mouth area. The mask has blood stains on it so maybe he has hurt someone or witnessed someone being hurt. The surrounding seems to be a concrete room with a small window similar to a jail cell so either he's a prisoner or is too dangerous to be let out. There is red around the skin of his eyes suggesting it was damaged in someway possibly by fire, also the mask does not seem to have any lenses to it.
I believe this .... man to be a slave to the darker forces of the book, one that has been transformed in a similar fashion to the white cleaver. Although this time he was alive when it happened so isn't controlled by the necromancers. An even match for the white cleaver maybe. I still stick to the name of Malform D'Ironfist or maybe a one word name like the Grotesquery had.
I look forward to finding out in book 5, you are truly a master with words, and a great author Derek Landy. I would ask this though: is he named or are you looking a name which is why you have asked for comments on who it is?
wreath being possesed by the remenants. The boss of the necromancers(the one that insisted on keeping the remenant) put it in him. And weath is wearing the mask as a disguise and the dark stuff coming out from his mouth is the remanant! or is could be someone else in disguise with a remanant coming ut of his mouth. (It's definitely a man.... the hairstyle is not womanly). julia ghastly's symbol for the face thingy was on his neck..... but that doesn't mean that it isn't him....
Its possible it could be Jarron Gallow, he did survive at the end of book three but the masked man, i believe he is either the head of the secret order that has been moving in the shadows trying to subvert the Sanctuary or at least in league with that fellow was talking to devina marr in the middle of book four and talking to Mr bliss near the end of book three, the man with the golden Eyes.
did anyone notice that one of his ears is black?
Its Probably Lord Vile remember they said he was alive somewhere!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
it never said gastly was black and if you just think that from looking at the back of book one its in black and white so its kinda hard to tell.
and i really want to know skulduggerys given name too!
especially for derek: heres and idea, my master. after the series you should make a book that is based on the book of names which contains everyone that is in the series true, given and taken name, because I WOULD DEFINITLEY BUY THAT!
robbie, IRISH FANS LOVE DEREK MORE THAN AMERICAN FANS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
hem hem, also
his ear isnt black, the mask is covering it
and im pretty sure its a vamp on the back of book 4
i just realized, this man looks like he wants REVENGE
omg
that is even better than the front cover
i guess its either a new character
an old charcter that was brutally wounded on the face
darquesse
thank you for wishing me luck Skyril! :D
i think i still failed though but i am not yet certain :|
anyways i think im happyish again! yay!!! woot woot! no thanks to derek *glare* oh i carn't stay angry at a golden god! im sorry master forgive me! *bows*
erm yeah. anyways no one has proved my theory that the masked man is Solomon Wreath wrong. actually no one has really commented on it at all. can someone at least prove me wrong? or i dunno randomly say something to me so i dont feel so alone? oh! i know what to do!!!
RANDOM QUESTION OF THE DAY!!!
so it is: who is more anoying? justin bieber or miley cyrus??????
that was actually quite good. im expecting you to answer this aswell derek!
god, my sister just ate some pringles and the smell of sour cream&onion just wafted my way. I. CARNT. STAND. IT!!!! I NEED PRINGLES!
i am seriously obbsessed! I HAD A FULL BOX YESTERDAY! AN ACTUAL FULL BOX. im so bad that i normally go through one in two days. yes a FULL box to MYSELF IN TWO DAYS! so now im trying to stop. BUT THEIR JUST TO DARN TASTY!
I NEED PRINGLES!
geckogirl of to lock pringle cuboard door.
geckogirl fails misribly and is going to go and lock herself outside for an hour or two before tea so cannot eat pringles.
geckogirl out.
I'd guess...
A Hannibal Lector type wacko (aka. evil, insane and cannibalistic) all locked up in concrete cell with a very small unbarred window.
It's either very cold or he's smoking...
Hang on... it's Dusk, he's all locked up so's he doesn't eat people, making my discription quiet accurate...
8Leaves to ponder own genius*
it is tessaract because if you right click the image and click 'save as' it says tessaract. (this is on the small icon on the skulduggery pleasant website)
oh, the random question of the day is a dificult one! :/ perhaps miley cyrus
MEEEH!!! you guys SUCK! what the hell are remnants??? and who are all these new people you're talking about?!?!? DAMMIT!!! i hate living in the U.S. sometimes. when i'm older, i'm moving to Ireland 'cause that's where all the good books come from. and so i can make friends with the leprechauns and ask them for gas money. then they'd be all like. "BUY YOUR OWN GAS YOU BUG EYED MOOSE! IT'S YOUR CAR THAT COSTS MORE THAN MY HOUSE!!!!" and i'd be all like "LISTEN YOU TANNING BED BAKED, BROKE ASS, GOLD FACED, OOMPA LOOMPA OF A MONKEY PROBLEM! I WILL GLADLY SHOP AT TARGET! I'LL WEAR HOT PANTS ANY DAY OF THE WEEK! YES, YOUR ASS DOES LOOK FAT IN THOSE JEANS, YOUR MOM IS A BUTT *CHANGED WORD, TOO NAUGHTY* AND I PLAN ON GETTING ON YOUR LITTLE SISTER JUST AS SOON AS I GIVE HER A CALL BACK!!! i love that song. anyways, now that my random rant is over, is scared the crap outta myself this morning. i was bringing the vaccum over to my parent's room when i thot i saw this black shape running around me and it was cackling. needless to say, i ran out the house screaming my head off, and *god this is painfull* i started crying. my mom comes to the house all pissed when i called her from work to come and have a look. turns out, it was most likely the fan's shadow jumping around on the wall and the light's shaped wierd so the shadows were to. the cackling i heard was from the t.v's bluray player that someone forgot to turn off. we were watching unthinkable last night so that explains the cackling. i tell you, i always thot i'd be calm and collected in a situation like that. sigh, it's amazing what you learn about yourself when you think you're in danger.
WHO HERE HAS HAD A PARANORMAL ENCOUNTER!!!! EXPLAIN YOURSELVES!!! HAVE YOU HAD ONE DEREK?!?!
OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I have a few theories!
! CONTAINS SPOILERS !
1- In the 5th book when Ghastly gets the tattoos and Skulduggery says about getting one it could be him after he gets one.
2- It could Skulduggery during the war when Serpine had him locked up. After he was being tortured and stuff.
3- It could be one of the exsisting baddies (or good guys?) with a remnant posses him (or maybe no remnant!)
4- It could be Anton Shudder (the guy who owns the midnight hotel) with or without is gist.
5- or it could be a completly new character (I like this one best ☺)
P.S. it probably isnt Geoffry as he is supposed to be a goodie.And blood is on the mask like duh what good guy has that.!!!
Love the back cover by the way good work Tom
Ok. Random. Please excuse my random oooooooooooooooooooooooo-ing. Im just bord and posting random stuff. isay random too much.
yup i bet i know who it is dun dun der LORD VILE
or guild hmmmm
I think it would be cool if Lord Vile turned out to be Fletcher`s dad, but i don`t think thats him on the cover.
abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxy&z
abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxy&z
abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxy&z
abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxy&z
I know my ABC`s!
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAH! *goes on and on* daisy, im afard you are mistaken. the sparkly ones are not freaks! it is perfectly normal for fairys, pixies, and balerinais to sparkl! also, how did everyone like my story?
i think i've got it it's lord vile back from the dead!
Beth Coxen- love your idea of the evil villan (villin? villen?) person being Darth Vader!!! Even though he's technichly (can't spell) dead, it would be awesome if he came back to life!!!
Geckogirl- Justin Bieber , definately. He is SO annoying!!! Miley Cyrus is annoying too, but at least you can listen to the radio for five minutes without hearing one of her songs. Also I understand about the pringles!!! I love pringles so much!!! I just got back from France, where they don't know the meaning of vegetarian (I kid you not. They gave me tuna sandwiches.) and I survived on Pringles, Mars bars and coookies for the whole trip. So I kind of owe them my life cos, without them, i would have starved to death.
Oh yeah, and I think that the guy on the cover is/could be/is possibly...Lord Vile. I know that everyone else (well, lots of people) thinks that, but I thought of it 52nd or something like that!!!
Wow that was a long comment.
Actually it's not that long, but it's long for me.
Sayanora!!!
yay! someone understands my pain! pringles are just so addictive are they not the cellist? oh and thankyou sweetnaeema32 and my pringle obsessed chum the cellist for answering the random question of the day! woot! i feel included! and strangly i crave pepsi. one sec
*one minute later*
ahh! mmm....pepsi max! the best drink since....well normal pepsi. why does it have to have so much suger but taste so good! WHY?
it has torres on the front. no idea what the big deal bout torres is. he's not even good looking in my opinion.
.......erm once again i mention my prediction of SOLOMON WREATH AS THE GUY IN THE MASK as NO ONE IS PROVING ME WRONG OR DISAGREEING/AGREEING! HELLO! plez?
....erm ive run out of stuff to say now....awww....i like commenting. *sniffle*
CHEEEEESYYYYY CLEMENTINES!!!!!!
that was weird.......
Actually, Robbie the US LOVES Mr.Landy much more than Ireland.Believe me, we do. ^.^
Daisy maybe he'll come when offered such offerings, but if not, I have a very vicious and man-eating dragon named Oblivion up my sleeve....well...he isn't actually up my sleeve, but you know what I mean.
pure, undeniably, epic, awesomeness, Hellboy! :D
He could be, Bethany but everyone of the main characters that he's drawn kind of look dark and grim and black and white....
You're welcome, Geckogirl.I hope the luck helped even though you think it probably did not...I kinda don't think 'tis Solomon because, in my opinion, necromancers would be fairly skinny and not so big because they use shadows to do their fighting.You never know 'till you know though....
lol I have the same problem 'cept with ice cream.Specifically peanut butter and chocolate. Mmmm ^.^
Haha that is incredibly clever of you, sweetnaeema32!So now we know...he's Tessarect.
Skyril
"Can you get over yourself for just one moment?"
"If only that were possible."
-Book 1
lol geckogirl!We now know he's Tessarect!
I don't think I could possibly decide between the two annoying people.Especially sine they aren't hugely annoying to me since I hardly ever listen to the radio...
Sorry to play devil's advocate here, but this is just a little bit hilarious.
why does everyone think its tesseract? i mean what are the similarities umm a mask. so. what. it is a mask. im sure its someonelse but stil... i mean why would he make that battle card?

WAIT!!!!! OMG! I HAV AN IDEA LISTEN!!!!
WHAT IF SKULDUGGERYS OLD PARTNER DIDNT DIE? WHAT IF HE WAS CAPTURED BY A BAD GUY AND NOW THEY PUT A REMANT IN HIM AND SKULDUGGERY WIL TRUST HIM AND THEN THE REMANT POSES SKULDUGGERY!
--
So, a physical similarity and the fact that the cards (because you have to earn them) contain the most spoilers (and so it would be logical to assume that if we knew who it was, it would be one of them, right?) isn't a good enough theory? Even though we know this is an assassin and we know that Tesseract is an assassin?
--
But, assuming that a character who appeared for all of a few pages, died horribly (like numerous other characters in this franchise) and then never reappeared (again, like numerous others) is this character is more logical?
--
Eh?
hey,i have a GREAT idea. lets NEVER say ireland. lets instead say IRELANDY!
actually, Holly 'tis Tessarect because on skulduggerypleasant.com when you right click the small picture on the front page of this man and click save image as, it says Tessarect.
Moonshine fabulous idea!We shall re-name Ireland to Irelandy!!Yay
Skyril, I /know/ it's Tesseract. Hence me saying 'Eh?' to jakeparson's illogical comments. Damn Blogspot formatting messes everything up.
Ah...ok I guess I missed that.
it. is. totally. SCAPEGRACE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
c'mon you guys you know im right.
The idea of the picture being the Tesseract seems to easy to me, and having an idea of how MR Landy might think - I believe that this name for the picture is a red herring put in place to confuse us to the real identity of the masked man. Perhaps it is Tesseract but think of how our golden god writes and wether it would be that easy. I leave you with this to ponder on
everyone who thinks we should rename ireland as irelandy, put this at the first of your comment:GO IRELANDY!!!! YAY YAY YAY!!!
everyone who thinks we should rename ireland as irelandy, put this at the first of your comment:GO IRELANDY!!!! YAY YAY YAY!!!
Good Idea! Anyway, I love the cover. I post alot here, and just like seeing all of the other american readers of SP. Who agrees that SP defines everything that is everything. Skull-man is just awsome. Anyway, here is the list of the most awsome characters in the books. Feel free to add on:
Mr. Bliss
Vaurian Scapegrace
Billy Ray Sanguine
Skulduggery Pleasant (obviously)
Fletcher Renn
China Sorrows
Tanith Low
Ghastly Bespoke
Stephanie Edgley (Valkyrie Cain)
Nefarian Serpine
Baron Vengess
The Hollow Men
Kenspeckle
Claribelle
Dusk
@Troy Cavalieri
I do believe I am of the female variety. And there was no insults to Mr. Landy. I just felt cocky at the time I posted that.
@Roisin
Why thank you. I always knew I *was* rather fetching.
But, like, legit comment on the picture: I totally looove the artwork for this book. It definitely looks a whole lot darker than previous covers, so I'm totally expecting heart-break and gut-wrenching situations like Dark Days.
:D
Another thing has anyone actually looked up what a Tesseract is? I have and found it to be a geometric shape - a cube inside a cube with each corner of the inside cube connecting to the same corner of the outside cube. bit of random information I found because each of the taken names used by Derek in his books has a meaning I.E. Ghastly Bespoke Ghastly = Greusome and Bespoke = Tailor adding to Greusome Tailor which Ghastly happens to be no offence to Ghastly who is one of my fave characters.
P.S. Will Ghastly get a love interest? and Would it be possible for spin offs series of books about him or other characters from the Skulduggery series?
P.P.S should of been a full stop after Bespoke the first time I put it.
http://sakeke.deviantart.com/art/SP-Battle-Cards-112590571
Look at this. Look at the Shudder Card. The man is SHUDDER! THis whole tesseract thing must be a process he's undergoing, the name of the remminant, or the mask he's wearing. Or, of course, Mr. Landy could be trying to fool with us by displaying that name. But, if you look at the face shape and the hair style, the man is shudder.
GO IRELANDY!!!! YAY YAY YAY!!!
I think not, Robbie.In that picture Shudder had much more hair, or at least 'tis a lot bigger...It *looks* like Gallow from what I can see, but I don't know if it is.
ahhh lol it does say tesseract when u try to save the image.
hmmm, intruiging....
im just wondering though, where did the battle cards originate? i always thought that they were just fan art on deviantart.com, but obviously the person who made them has inside knowledge or is some wicked-sick seer.
or maybe it was tom percival who created them.hmm...that would explain a lot...
lol i just remembered insanity,
i wish i could meet derek landy in IRELANDY!!!
MWAHAHAHAHAHA!
gud work, insanity moonshine, gud work...
wait... how often has derek been posting? twice a week?well, lets do this COBPUDPTTAW (TTAW=three times a week)
cmon people!!! it must be the new assasin that mister derek landy was talking about!!! I mean what kind of deadly, terrifying, assasin DOESN'T wear a creepy metal mask? yeah, i thought so. And everyone who thought it was skulduggery, shame on you. you need to use your logical thinkerbox more often. 1st of all, skulduggery's on the front, i guess he COULD be on the back too, but... it doesn't make much sense that way....... 2nd if you can choose what your facade looks like do you people really think that skulduggery would choose a facade that looks like that?! And third, and most important, he looks SO EVIL!!!! and skulduggery is not evil. (I totally needed to add that last sentence)
is it Scapegrace?
i mean maybe he put a mask on so he could establish a new name for himself instead of being the failing killer
GO IRELANDY!!! YAY YAY YAY!!!
I don't actually have a comment, I just wanted to say that...
WAIT!!! *long pause* ok, I still have nothing to say.
Oh yeah!!! Geckogirl, I don't think it's Vaurian Scapgrace cos why would he wear a mask??? Unless he wants to conceal his identity!!! *exciting music*
Which is kind of the reason why you wear a mask.
Just ignore me. I don't even know what I'm talking about anymore. I'm going to go get some brekkies. Pringles for breakfast!!!!
um lol cellist, PRINGLES? u lucky _________.
go irelandy!
IT ISNT SCAPEGRACE, ITS TESERACT!! it says so when u go to the skulduggery homepage and right click on the image and then click save as!it says TESERACT_SMALL!!!!!
duhhh...
lol, my GIST was typing just then. we were fighting bloodthirsty zombies and then when i tried to bring it back in it went all wack and started trollin'. sorry.
GO IRELANDY!!! YAY YAY YAY!!!
Sorry for the double post, but I went to the pringles cupboard and the pringles were gone!!! As in, vanished, not there, disappeared!!! How can this be?! OUR HOUSE IS PRINGLE-LESS!!! *sobs* now I have to eat cornflakes for breakfast.
Sorry, I'm just a BIT depressed about the lack of pringles.
Derek, I just wanted to know...
1. Have you ever been to South Africa?
2. Are you planning to come to South Africa sometime?
3. Do you have any pets?
hmmm... He did say the remnants were out. But ghastly? very unlikely.
No he said it was a new baddie anyways.
Hm the part of the face can see is bloody, and he appears to be sort of smoking out of the mask... Well its not Darquesse, because that would be strange... :P
But yeah I think its that Tessarect person...
hmmm.... well I was trying to think as they say "outside the box", and since its pretty obvious it is tesserct i taught it might be someone else like skulduggerys old partner, not teseract because it might be to obvious for such a genious as the DEREK LANDY!
Nuarh, maybe some old character that hurt himself and now his coming back hungry for revenge or something? Or then some new coolness character. Hmm. Either way he is COOL.
And btw. I rly made the skulduggery caramel danssen >:D

~Freaky Grimace
Ok, it's probably someone Skulduggery and Valyrie have to ask for help.
And he is in prison, because he is some really bad guy.
He has to wear that mask because his face contains his power. (can you say that?) Like China Sorrow -- if she would be put in prison, she would have to wear a mask, too, so the guards aren't blinded by her beauty.
Just this guys face is not beautiful but evil. And the evil burns the mask. That's why there is smoke.
I can't wait until the books are translated into German! I don't get all the jokes :(
oh, and whoever asked does derek have any pets:He lives in Ireland with a variety of cats, a German Shepherd, and two geriatric Staffordshire Bull Terriers who keep peeing on his kitchen floor because they think it’s funny.
random question of the day,
JUSTIN BIEBER IS WAYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY MORE ANNOYING
ummm sorry derek but i have a question, not to be rude or anything, but why aren't there any black people in ure books? sorry if im offending u but i find it a little strange.
NO PRINGLES IN THE CUBOARD THE CELLIST???? HOW CAN THIS BE???? A PRINGLE-LESS CUBOARD??? ITS TO HORRIBLE TO THINK ABOUT! *shudders*
oh wait sorry! at the start of the comment i was ment to put GO IRELANDY!!!! YAY YAY YAY!!! but i was to horrified about the pringle-less cuboard to remember.
i have came to the decision that i think justin bieber's voice is more anoying than miley cyrus's but miley cyrus's personality is more anoying than justin bieber's (but only by a smidgin)
erm hmmm.....what to talk about.......what to talk about.........
i have had to find a substitute for SP for a bit and for a while it was darren shan but i havent got his new book yet so i had to find something differant so at the moment im reading the house of night books by Kristin and PC cast. what do u guys think of them? personally i think they are much better than twilight but ovs no where near SP's standard. *sighs* nothing ever is.
erm what other books do u guys like? i dont really have any other favs. the spooks books are ok....i suppose.
onto tv. LOVE DOCTOR WHO!!!! LOVE MERLIN!!!! LOVE ROBIN HOOD (mainly because of Guy in it)! LOVE OUTNUMBERED,MY FAMILY AND VICAR OF DIBALY! how bout u guys? any recomendations? oh and i LOVE BUFFY OVS DEREK :)

it is lord vile soloem said he thinks he is still alive
lord vile was only thought to be dead but they never found a body soloem wreath thinks he is hiddiing at the other side of the world and that he is a enemy to all Necromancers and he might have got hold of his armour and is wearing the helmet from the armour if it is not him i think it is caelan because he is a vampire and he seals himself in a cage to dawn to try not to hurt anyone but other vampires keep breaking his cage trying to let him out
recomended books geckogirl- (not that u wld need anything else to read but skulduggery) but-
noughts and crosses series
the hunger games trilogy
knife trilogy
the knife of never letting go (the chaos walking trilogy)
born to run
harry potter series
private peaceful
survivors
is that enough?
if not here is one more:
the hitch hikers guide to the galaxy series
enjoy!!! :)
GO IRELANDY!!! YAY YAY YAY!!!
For anyone who wants to know, the SP battle cards are not from Devianart, they are products sold in the UK. Yes, there is a Skulduggery Pleasant Card game. Just go to amazon UK to find it. I'm American, so I don't have any, but I'd suggest them to any SP fan in the UK or ireland (IRELANDY)
hmm... i havent got the slightest idea about who it is, but it definatly looks like something out of iron man even though ive never see any of the movies so i wouldnt know, but still. also i have a question for you mister landy, (well several questions really, but beside the point),

HA!Asya! You are hilarious! Maybe you should team up with Derek Landy for his books. I loved your last comment. I don't have that posting problem though, so I'm stopping right now. RIIIIGHT Now. Just about... Almost there, righhht no-
Robbie: ha thanks! ill tell you why im so hilarious, ive been reading too much skulduggery (not that, thats actually possible, but i think it might be), and im glad you dont have the posting problem, its very infectious!!!! but im glad at least YOU seem to have some kind of control over your fingers, and right here they go again i swear when it comes to typying they have a MIND OF THEIR OWN I SAY, A MINNDD OF THEIR OWWNNN!!! okay, im going now, see you people, in maybe another day or so. :D :D
I wish the Sanctuary was real. I already have a taken name. I would So be an elemental. Please, share what you would be, and what your name would be. One rule though. DON"T SHARE YOUR GIVEN NAME OR EVERYONE WILL CONTROL YOU!
Oh, I forgot to say. My Taken name is Felin Cate (Feel Free to use this name anytime you want Mr. Landy!).
Sorry to keep posting, but I'm addicted. I have to ask, Does Derek Landy actually ever read these posts? He might not ever see the pleads to come to certain places for book signings! S, my question stands: Does Derek ever read this? Please say Yes. I'd at least like to think he does!
So, just an Idea, but is the due Scapegrace? I mean, you know he's been using skin creams to keep him from rotting. What if the mask is to do the same thing? I still think that its shudder, but scapegrace is an idea!
Hey, there is an awsome Skulduggary wiki on wikia. It is open for anyone to edit. Its awsome! Check it out!
I keep posting so I can be the 300th poster, so sorry is my other post may be nosensical
sp rules
300
I really can't think of anyone...
Oh I know, I know!!
It could be a pocessed someone!!!!
It could be anyone...
Why am I always 1 or 2 reviews away from being one of the hundreds? Not fair!
Grr I accidently deleted my comment twice! xD Anyway the only thing I'm going to say now is Yes, Robbie indeed he does read every single one of our ramblings!He said so in one of his previous posts when 13 zillion people a day were asking that question. ^.^
Skyril
"We're here on Sanctuary business," Skulduggery tried.
The man on Deadfall's right bristled, and Deadfall grinned. "Hear that, Pete"They're with the Sanctuary."
Hokum Pete snarled. "I *Hate* the Sanctuary."
"Oh," Skulduggery said.
"we *All* hate the Sanctuary.
"Ah.Then we're not here on Sanctuary business.I was just joking."
-Book 2
ok, for anyone who dosnet know my taken ame is insanity moonshine, im a adept who can make pictures come to life and fly. thats is where i get my magical cupcakes
IRELANDY! :D
Ah Moonshine I like adept ability.
My taken name's Skyril Oblivion. ^.^ I'm an adept that can make 1-3 people's vision completely black for as long as I can keep my concentration.What do you think? :]
Skyril
"Well, to put it delicately, she has the power to suck out people's brains."
- Skulduggery Pleasant
Interesting, Skyril.And I like your power,Insanity.
My taken name is, as you can guess, Dantea Dredkin.I am a teleporter(the one Mr.Landy forgot about and left out of the books)That makes me very rare, and maby just a little bit vain. There is only one other teleporter in existince.
-Dantea
GO IRELANDY! YAY YAY YAY!
I'm really glad you all posted your Ideas about Taken names! I, Felin Cate, am just a fabulous elemental. I am awsome, powerful, cool, spectacular, insanly cool, and, oh, modest.
Yes I know I'm "quoting" skulduggery
Oh, and Dantea, why did you call yourself that?
Robbie, or Felin, or whoever you are, i choose that name because i like the name Dante, but that sounded like a guy`s name, so i changed it up a little bit and made it Dantea. and your really going to DRED the consequences of getting on my bad side, because i have a vicious demonic tiger i can sic on you if you do.
But other than that im a real catch!
two things. it is probley not tessaract because its probley just a cruel trick derek is playing. also, i asm now charging anyone for the use of the words: insane, insnaity, insanly,moonshine, and anything thats relates to them FIFTY CENTS EACH! and thank you to the people who compemented my powas. CUPCAKES FOR EVERYONE! i have teleporter, time travle, shape shifting, mood, awsome, and many others
I still don't know who Tessaract is, so all i have to say to Insanity is,insnaity,insnaity, insnaity,insnaity!Ha!Ha!Just you try and make me pay! Just you try!Mwahahaha!I'll set my tiger on you! Mwahahaha!
Yes, I'm insane. You could almost call it, INSANITY.
-Dantea
Is it you in your last years Halloween costume, Mr L?
To Derek Landy
Congrats on the blog, books and large amount of cats. You are extremely skilled with your writing and if only I could meet you! I had a chance when you visited Auckland and Wellington I think but school exams had me pinned to my desk. Mortal Coil sounds positively brain boggling and until then I'll be standing in line for 11 weeks....
Nah just kidding I'm not an 'eccentric' fan but I am a big one (fan that is).
Until then keep on writing as me myself and I will be waiting!
robbie's post had a link and it had the tessarect card. can you see the holes where his mouth and nose are? look at the back cover fr book 5 and they have the same mouth and nose holes!
GO IRELANDY!!! YAY YAY YAY!!!
Geckogirl- sarah put up a VERY good selection of books (I should know I've read nearly all of them) but she missed out a few a amazing ones!!!
Percy Jackson series- everybody who liked skulduggery loves these
Eragon- perservere!!! it's a bit complicated but is truly awesome!!
Hellboy- was it really YOU who took my pringles??? i hope you know that i am VERY depressed now- I had to eat jaffa cakes instead...
Since we're all talking about taken names, I was reading something in the paper and there was someone called Melody Fears, which really reminded me of China Sorrows!!! That may be just me though...I associate The Mavericks (country/western band) with The Avengers (TV programme from the 60s about two spies).
Ghost buster.
odile- why would it be sanguine?? hes not dead, theres no reason for him to go weird like that.
springheeled jack??
that guy that got assassinated that i cant remember the name?
maybe it is scarab?
its not Bliss, cause hes bald.
this is a far shot, but maybe its SKULDUGGERY! maybe his facade tattoo went realy wrong.
or just a new villain?
ahhhhhhhhhhh!!!!! all this guesssing is giving me a headache, i think im gonna stop now. JUST REALISE THE BOOK EARLY. PLEASE. I AM GOING CRAZY AND IT IS ALL YOUR FAULT. (well i was never sane so i cant realy go crazy, but lets just say ive gone more crazy than i was, leave it at that).
"I'm only going to be telling you the absolute minimum about what I've been doing these past eleven months," Skulduggery said to Ghastly and Tanith as they reached the Foyer and climbed the stairs, "so don't bother prying."
"Fine with me," Ghastly said.
"A little prying would have been nice." Skulduggery mumbled.
SKULDUGGERY PLEASANT- DARK DAYS <3 <3 IT!!
by the way i havent mentioned this but my taken name is Eolande Petal , i'm an elemental and I CAN READ MINDS!!! ill comment again soonnnnn!! seee youuu
http://browse.deviantart.com/?qh=§ion=&q=skulduggery+pleasant+cards#/d1v17fv
hes on there but i cant read his name. Its near the middle somewhere and he has a mask like this guys.
Okay, you random puiny people. You may THINK you know who he is, but I hold the secret. None of us have a bloody clue. It is, in it's own rights, a very cool picture full of epic-ness(my new favourite word)but guessing who it is would confuse me more than all these non magic people I call my parents and friends do.
And you may all think that you are "the most biggest,biggest craziest stalker fan ever!"(said in high pitched girly voice)But the truth is, I am. I have my own little group of minions to worship the God we call DEREK LANDY.
P.s.-You probably don't remember, but I'm the Harly Ryker girl from the comp.
And this man is frightfully strange looking! He looks quite angry. Oh, this have nothing to do with this, but, if you could get your very awesome self down to Belfast, or Ballymena, please inform us!!!!! Because I would really rather like to come. And I know, you don't have control over where you go on your tours, but ask whoever does!
And, I'm going to give you an honour. I do not bestow this to many people, but you shall be one of them. I am giving you the honour of being epic. So, Sir(comes with the epic-ness)Derek Landy, I, Clodagh Gribben, A minion, knight you as epic. Hold a party. =)
cool he looks kind of creepy is it a bad guy?

Meet the bunnies. they want world domination. help them. repost them in your rewiews..
THEY HAVE COOKIES!! :)
Its Butu!!!
BATU IS DEAD! HE HAS A HOLE I HIS CHEST! HE IS DEAD! DEAD DEAD DEAD! Though I wish he was alive! He made a good villain
I would guess Lord Vile because it is stated that he may not actually dead, Solomon Wreath explains that he could be hiding in another part of the world. Waiting to strike...
Or as Robbie said, it could be Scapegrace, but why would such a feeble enemy be on the back cover?
Or Jaron Gallow, as he survived and was badly injured in all parts of his body, he could have been caught and put in prison and Skulduggery maybe have to ask him for help?
I still think its Vile though wearing the mask from his necromancer armour..
*takes up $3.50 from Dantea*
I take back what I said. It could be Batu, and the mask could be whats keeping him alive after the hole is in his chest.
I think the guys lord vile
I thought I was being smart about previous comment till I read other ones saying the same thing but funnier.
Hey! What if it's Finbar Wrong? He said himself in the third book that he gets possessed all the time, so maybe Finbar got possessed by some creepy person (maybe a Remnant!) and was told to put on a mask to hide his identity!
I know I'm probably completely wrong, so don't laugh at my theory, please!
It could maybe lord vile
People Who it Could Be:
Lord Vile
Ghastly gone bad
Mevolent
A New Guy
A Faceless One in a human form
The Last Of The Ancients gone derranged
Teserract or whatever these people are on about above
Guild
Billy-Ray Sanguine
Dusk
Scarab
People Who I don't think it could be:
Skulduggery
Scapergrace
Thrasher
Bliss
Darth Vader who is mentioned above - although there could be a hint in Dark Days about it saying about Jabba the Hutts Ceiling???
Batu
Tanith Low (think she's fed up of torture now) oh and yes i have read somewhere that you said that you were going to kill her off in the first book but that was too dismal so you agreed that you would keep her in if you got to torture her each book, from my point of view this is fine.
The Reflection because it's obvious that it goes bad and that is Darkquesse and it deveolops magic somehow so that rules that out.
Please Tell Me If I'm Right!!!
and when i say "from my point of view this is fine", i am fine with her been tortured but i think you ought to stop it because it's getting a bit boring now with every book
It's my Daddy!!!!
I KNOW WHO IT IS!!!! ITS TESSARECT except i have no idea who that is...
Oooh...Scary. Lol, whenever I show the back covers to my little sister the back covers she screams...muhahaha.
She's reading the books but insists on every 5 seconds, reading me another quote from the book...I like the books tons, but if you've already read all the books 3 times each and your in the middle of an excellent book and your sister annoys you until you listen...*sigh*
Anyways, that got BIT off subject...
I reckon it's a new villain but has anyone noticed that Derek has gotten rid of like 3 comments, I bet those are the ones that guess correctly.
I can't wait until the next book comes out!!! September is too long!
BookNerd7
btw, has anyone had their little sis push them down the stairs because you lost their page? grr...
hahaha wow. And no, my little sis doesn't read yet, but when she does, I'll make sure not to loose her page =D
And I either think it's the secret, mysterious man who met up with Davina Marr, someone in the diablerie, a Remnant possesed person...
Or it could be one of the necromancers who's trying to act like the Death-Bringer!!!
He sure does look like a Death-Bringer... :P
Some freaky weirdo! That's excactly who he or possibly she is. Yep. No matter who he is, he is some freaky weirdo who needs desperately to me sent to a phsyco home. Yes. I'm done.
Actually my real guess was already guessed sooo. It's probally Lord Vile with something crazy going on with his face. Probally got hit by a car or something. Either him or whoever is working with that crazy lady whos name I've now forgotten. The one who blew up the sanctuary...What is her name???? Hmmmmmm...???
It's Elvis!!! Has to be Elvis!!
i think itl be sum1 who we wouldnt expect like..... vaurien capegrace. although i syuspect him so i dont think it will be him now..... or o i?
or do* i
well think about it guys this masked dude is smoking... i think. :S are there any current characters that smoke? maybe its like a general greivous character (showing what another character will become in the case of star wars showing that anankin will become a wierd mechanical dude). i think this guy is a new character but shows what a current character could become .
5t
it could be serpine, or Baron back to life? who knows :P or because the books called mortal coil. maybe serpine dosent have that hand of his?
hrrrrm i think its obviously some new guy and for skulduggerys sake its a new guy and it is not tesseract cos` seriously guys look at his mask and look at tesseracts anyway i reckon it must be someone who si mentioned but not seem and it might be someone from sharon and her hubbys cult
Geoffrey Scrutinous
sum1 culd have sed dis already (i didnt bother readin everytin)but if u read de first 2 chapters in mortal coil it says sum tin about dat guy..identification unknown 2 me just have 2 wait and find out...cm on september
i actualy thinks its lord vile cause in the 4th book the other necromancers and wreath were talking about how he was still alive and that mask could be part oh his armor were he stores his power anyone agree and i also think they mentioned somthing about only val can beat him or somthing and maybe somones locking him so he cant get himself killed till the times right idk if im making sense right now but anyone agree
He is the Tesseract.
He is the Tesseract.
Hello there.
Hello Tesseract.
Hello Scapegrace.
Hello Thrasher.
Hello Clarabelle.
Achievement completed.
