Yeah, I kinda wondered about that rooting around in the chest thing myself. I mean, c'mon - where the hell is his esophagus? And how does air get to his lungs, considering it would be blocking the major brachial, um, can't think of the word right now. That was a little ... silly. In the comics all I remember is he just had a bad heart, and the chest piece of the armor acted as a pacemaker kind of contraption. (This was in the late 70's mind you. I haven't read the most recent retoolings of the Shell Head.) So that could explain the heart attack symptoms he was having as he crawling across the floor.
His heart wasn't replaced from what I gathered from before, but the size of the device was a bit misleading. Well, a LOT misleading. I had to laugh when he pushed the mechanic's dolly out of the way - hell, I'd have crawled up on it and surfed across the floor. Ah well, wouldn't have been dramatic enough, I guess.
Yeah, I think the shrapnel conveniently vanished. Perhaps the magnet eventually pulled it all out, miraculously, without any internal hemorrhaging.... Bwa ha ha ha ha ha ha ha.
"Shadow's Tale" was a bugger to write. But I got to put my anthropology schooling to use! =^.^= I'm going to draw a picture of Kintu on an Ixlatecutl next, I think.
