"Some nasty business going on in this corner of hell. I'm not sure how I missed it before, and Uncle Jason certainly never mentioned it. But I have a feeling that this place has definite possibilities.. If there is a chance for mischief, it would behoove Klarion the Witch Boy to set up the game board."

I think this is actually a fun aside that Perez included in the War of the Gods event. This scene occurs somewhere after issue #15 of The Demon (1991), when Klarion and Teekl leave Gotham having sent Jason/Etrigan to the Beyond Region, and decide to treat themselves to a vacation in Funland. In issue #17 we see the mischief in question play out.

I really like Klarion's sass towards Circe, "That hag seems too pleased with herself!" This scene really illustrates what a heavy hitter Klarion actually is that he can see Diana's soul flying around and can just redirect her spirit to the Beyond Region on a whim.

The way she basically pivots to "Ok, but you’re still unemployed?!" Recovering from this emotional devastation by picking a fight with a demon is honestly the logical reaction.

Do you think Charity truly loves Klarion or does she live up to her name in a twisted way by willingly giving up her son for the dogma of Limbo Town?

Is he just more expendable to her because Beulah is the favorite?

Thoughts on Charity this Mother's Day?

What dead, forgotten, or just underutilized villain, from any title, would you have Klarion release and command.

What's their powers or ability that they're using to help cause chaos?

Don't worry about the lore: If they’ve got a soul, they can be on the shelf. Who is Klarion bringing back to wreak havoc?

Both indoctrinated, silenced when they question, and eventually driven to rebellion against their enforced destinies.

Both are victims of generational debts they didn’t create and survivors of fathers (Mister Melmoth and Trigon) who treat their progeny as an exploitable resource to be trafficked for legacy and power. 

We’ve seen Klarion in Azarath before, in Raven’s solo book, but how would Limbo Town treat someone like Raven? Would they see her pacifism as a heresy to be burned out, or, as a society that theoretically prioritizes women’s magical knowledge, would they actually respect her power?

Thoughts?

If Klarienne were a Sailor Scout which planet would she represent or which character would be her counterpart? 

Sailor Saturn? Human Luna? Someone Else?

ALSO! If Klarion had a favorite Sailor Moon character who would it be? Or maybe it’d be one of the villain characters?

If you think he wouldn’t like this show that’s valid too. What anime you think he’d prefer instead? Soul Eater, maybe?
