Just finished Endless Nights. I have now read the entirety of the core Sandman stuff. I've got the shakes and the cold sweats already. More, goddammit.
Angel: You know, I killed my actual dad. It was one of the first things I did when I became a vampire. Wesley: I hardly see how that's the same situation. Angel: Yeah. I didn't really think that one through.

I thought Batman himself would need to resort to utility belt trickery to manage that?

She can beat Batman, you know. I mean, I don't think she can outthink him, and so would lose, but she can outfight him.

Piffle. SA was infinitely cool to begin with.
You people, with your nice. Thank you.
Okay, I'm three issues into Fugitive, Volume 2, and may I just say, regarding Murderer and Fugitive:
This. Fucking. Rocks.
I read it on the rec of Tom Scola, and it was the push that tipped me over into actually being a *fan* of comics versus someone who just listens with a grin as her friends talk about them. It also made me fall for Batgirl.

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!

Yes, I am totally using this as a hook. It's a very good hook.
It also made me fall for Batgirl.
And yeah, I get it now. She's so adorable.

So, my roommate is looking for a giftie. I never followed Marvel that well, so I don't know the answer. Perhaps one of you do.
I'm searching for a comic for my Marine's Christmas. Its his favorite issue of the Wolverine Comic, but its been so long he can't remember the name. All I know is that Wolverine along with Havoc and Longshot (?) are playing poker in a bar, I think he said an alien bar or some kind of other dimension, and Wolverine bets his life in the game and it ends up being a bluff, something like a pair of 2's. Any chance you or one of your comic buddies know which issue this is?
Ring any bells?
