Bruce Banner's voice really got on my nerves.
Mal: That's not what I saw. You like to tell me what really happened? Book: I surely would. And maybe someday I will.

GS: If you had to choose between kicking evil in the head or the behind, which would you choose, and why?
Minsc: I'm not sure I understand the question. I have two feet, do I not? You do not take a small plate when the feast of evil welcomes seconds.

Whoops.
Bruce Banner's voice really got on my nerves.
Huh. It didn't bother me at all and fit the character for me. Of course, Ultimate!Banner was so completely unlikeable in the comics, I may have just expected him to sound annoying.

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!
Hello! I haven't been in here in a while, but I'm hoping Broom still stops by, because he'll be interested in my continuing posts as I make my way through Sandman.
I've read the first three issues of Preludes (just finished the one with Constantine), and I'm liking it so far. A couple of people have said this wasn't a good place to start, but I'm a stickler for reading things in their proper order if I can. And I'm glad I did so because otherwise I wouldn't have really understood what was going on, would I? I didn't know anything about the actual plot of the book, so it helped to start at the beginning.
So the basic plot is "The Sandman goes around and gets his stuff back." That can't go on for seventy issues, though, so I'm sure there will be more to bringing Dreamland back to its proper order than just that.
I think the concept behind the world of dreams is very cool, the way it's a symbiotic relationship with the human world. It's both a place we go when we sleep, but we can also infuse it with our own creations. And now it's in shambles, so Dream has to bring his kingdom back to glory.
Alan Moore created John Constantine for Swamp Thing, right? Oh, criminy, that's the "green bloke" he was referring to. I can see some of the attempts to put this in the DC universe that others were mentioning. Is that random guy in Arkham Asylum an important character? His scene seemed pointless. And the reference to the League of Justice felt random and out of place. Also, the witches referred to "superhumans," but the picture showed Batman. And either Robin or Green Lantern, it was hard to tell.
Cain and Abel aren't supposed to be the Biblical Cain and Abel, are they? Because...I don't remember gargoyles in the Bible. They're just dudes who live in the Dreamworld?
At lunch, I will read all about Dream's adventures in Hell!

See? I gave everybody here an opportunity to tell me what a bad person I am and nobody did, because I fuckin' rule.

Nope, they're that Cain and Abel. They just somehow ended up in the Dreamworld, gargoyles and all. They're also a callback to a much earlier comic that used them, IIRC (but I quite possibly don't), as hosts for a series of grim little stories. People with better memories than me can clarify all the details of their comic/graphic/serial history.
