I see I made a mistake in my earlier post. That second Protection from Energy should be Resist Energy (a 2nd level spell). Sorry about that. One reason the latter is preferred over the former comes into play against Meteor Swarm, which is among the reasons why Meteor Swarm is considered pretty weak for its level.
The main problem is V, since he didn't seem to drink any potions himself.
Still it would have been better if there was some hint in comic. It's gotten a bit repetitive and unbelievable how many times in a row they are brought to the brink of death. I'm not saying it's bad, it's just mildly annoying. For all we know V might have drunk a strange potion too or whatever. I just think the strip was missing something. They seemed too near death not to die
