I don't think Gaiman has the depth of Moore or Morrison. When I re-read Sandman (or Mr. Punch or some of the other Gaiman books), the stories just don't resonate as much with me as when I re-read Watchmen or The Filth. I don't know about most of the other guys, though.
May have been the losing side. Still not convinced it was the wrong one.

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.
Roberts Continues To Stonewall On Logan v. Wayne
Sen. Edward M. Kennedy (D-Mass.) openly challenged Robert's claim that he "had not made up his mind" on Logan v. Wayne. "With all due respect, I find it frankly unbelievable that, in 30 years of public service, you could not have formed an opinion on this matter," Kennedy said. "So I would again ask that you simply answer the question: who would win in a fight, Wolverine or Batman?"

Unusually and exceedingly peculiar and altogether quite impossible to describe
Okay, that is hilarious!
Questioning continued in this vein for most of the afternoon, with senators on both sides of the aisle pressing Roberts to clarify his stance. "One of the most important responsibilities of a Chief Justice is adherence to existing precedence," Sen. Sam Brownback (R-Kan.) reminded the nominee. "I therefore call your attention to The Dark Knight Returns -- a four-part, 1986 mini-series in which Batman defeats Superman in hand-to-hand combat -- and ask you: if Bruce Wayne can beat Superman in a fight, is it not self-evident that he could defeat a mere mutant with ease?"
Brownback remarks were later stricken from the record, however, after ranking Democratic member Sen. Patrick J. Leahy (D-Vt.) pointed out that The Dark Knight Returns is now considered to be an non-canonical "Elseworlds" story.

Thanks. Now I need a new pair of pants.

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!
That's pretty great. Thanks for the link.

To understand what happened at the diner, we shall use Mr. Papaya! This is upsetting because he's the friendliest of fruits.
Hmmm. Joss has made it to round three on "Battle of the Comic Book Writers. "Now he's up against Garth Ennis, which is gonna be some ehavy competition.

For all my devotion to Joss, I think I'd have to vote for Garth Ennis. Fuckin' Preacher rules!

I know. That's one of the TERRIBLY hard ones.

Love Joss, but he hasn't paid his comic book dues. Ennis all the way.
The REALLY hard one for me was last round. Ellis vs Morrisson. I voted Ellis. Also, Miller/Kirkman. Kirkman's too new, and didn't just have a critically acclaimed movie come out, or he would have done better.

Quite agree. Still, I feel a twinge of sadness when I see the writers I like get knocked off.

Ellis vs. Morrison was impossible. Between them, they wrote my two favorite comics of all time -- "Transmetropolitan" and "The Invisibles." I eventually went with Ellis, I think, but I changed my mind frequently.
