About done with volume one of Sandman. Just finshed the chapter about the 24 hours at the diner.

Tarentino and Rodriguez need to team up and make a movie based solely on it.

Took a bit to get use to the way the story bounces around but I'm really digging it. Read somewhere that it starts getting a little more cohesive with chapter two.

And for the record I've already read both Watchmen and V for Vendetta.

Ooh, wonderful, thank you; I'm going to read that later tonight I think! I'm assuming you've (innerspaceboy) read all of it?

It's such a sprawling, kaleidoscopic series that there's bound to be parts that any given person would love. (What's your favorite comic series in general, though, out of curiosity?) Parts of it are rather frothy and whimsical whereas other parts are the complete opposite.

I've always wanted to dress as either Death or Delirium if I ever get around to going to a comic convention.
