I covet the re-colored edition, as I can't really justify buying a second copy until I have some actual disposable income.

Jilli! Did you know there are two OVA episodes of Black Butler where the characters play out Alice in Wonderland? Called Ciel in Wonderland?
I did, but I have not seen/read them yet.

It's super Jilli-esque. You can watch it at that link.

I've got all the TBPs of Sandman somewhere. It would be good to reread them. Especially with such literate company, because I'm sure I missed on lot of literary references. I stay away from the classics like a case of hives.

Mark's up to "A Hope in Hell," with Bowie!Lucifer.
Seeing Etrigan reminded me, we're still in the section where Gaiman was basically playing Alan Moore riffs(Specifically, the Floronic Man and Arcane arcs from Swamp Thing). I'm not sure his distinctive voice starts until....hmmm. "Men of Good Fortune" comes partway through Doll's House, right?

Mark's really excited about all the DC stuff, and I think he expects it to last throughout the series. But it pretty much stops after this first story! Thankfully. Of course, I didn't realize how much of this early stuff was from DC continuity, like Lucifer and the triumvirate. I'm liking it a lot more on the re-read, though; on Goodreads, I used my basic impressions to rate the volumes between three and five stars, but I have a feeling I'll end up upgrading some of the three-star books to four. This first volume is better than I thought it was. I found the Constantine issue weak in comparison, but the other three are very good.
"The Sound of Her Wings" is generally agreed to be the place where the book starts to become its own thing.

Woe to the fucking wicked.
In "I forget that other people aren't like us" news, apparently there are people media-savvy enough to be doing a read-along with Mark to whom the name "Arkham Asylum" means nothing. Now, granted, there was good animated Batman on tv when I was a kid, but, really? With the movies, and the games, and the...these being things that people should just KNOW.
At this point, Mark's reactions seem to be basically "this is cool." It will be interesting to see how he responds when things kick into gear.
So, do people think that Daniel lets Nada out of Hell ?

Arkham is an institution! I mean, yes, literally. But also metaphorically.

Yeah, I think he'll have a lot more to say once we hit A Doll's House.
