Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.
I'm not horribly disappointed; I'd much rather he concentrate on Goners. (Though of course he still may not.) I would, however, really like to see his script. Mainly because I want to know what he was planning to do with the silly invisible airplane and lasso of truth to make them not-silly.

George Perez did a pretty good job of presenting the Lasso of Truth in non-silly fashion.
As for the invisible plane? yeah, I got nothin'.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
I was telling a friend that Joss was no longer on the WW project because of a difference of takes on the character. I told him I had no idea what Joss's unwanted take was, and he suggested "Lesbian?" so guilelessly I spat laughter.

MTV.com has some more info on the story, including some bits on, yes, the invisible plane and magic lasso and such. Nothing revealing, but Joss wasn't going to toss 'em.

After much searching through all the bookshelves, it became obvious that my TPB of The Books of Magic has vanished. So I just went and rummaged through my box of "good" comics until I found the 4 original issues. I feel kinda odd about taking them out of the bags to read them, as if I'm committing a minor crime. But rummaging through that box prompted me to send mail to a friend of mine who is an online comics dealer; apparently having all the original issues of The Crow from Caliber Comics is a rarity.
("It is? Huh. Some of them are signed."
" ... ... you don't happen to have Caliber Presents #1, do you?"
"Yeah. And the Caliber Christmas special."
"Oh. My. God.")
Which brings me to an oddball question: what do people think about selling off one's comics. I mean, I've got the collections of The Sandman, do I really need or want to hang on to the separate issues? I'm not sure.

Go for the cash! The bound editions are easier to read.

If you do sell them, use the money to buy more comics.
I think that's about the only way I would be able to part with them, if I had collected them in the first place.
