I just finished reading The Sandman Vol. 4: Season of Mists by Neil Gaiman. Although composed of a number of individual episodes, this entire volume told one basic story, that of Dream attempting to recover the soul of a women who once loved him that he condemned, perhaps wrongly, to spend eternity in hell. His recovery mission is complicated when he arrives in hell only to find it has been recently vacated, Lucifer having decided he's ruled hell for quite long enough, and the woman who once loved Dream is no longer there. A good, solid volume, with some interesting ideas about the concepts of heaven and hell.

Sounds pretty cool. Speaking of Gaiman, have you seen Stardust yet. It's great. You should take Kevin.
Kevin? Kurt.
Kirk?
Karl.
Calvin.
Jim.
Seamus.
Ah, damnit.
Heh. I can't speak for Keven, Kirk, Seamus, etc., but Kurt and I both loved every minute of Stardust, and hereby nominate it for Best Feel-Good Movie of the Year!
Yay Stardust! We had a rockin' good time as well, although there were fewer of us. ;-) (I think maybe you should start calling him "Kirk," just to see if he'll do the voice.)
Oooo, and guess what I finally broke down and bought at Ashland, speaking of Gaiman?
