I can’t read walking dead before going to sleep either on account of the bizarre and terrifying dreams that always follow. Or the inability to sleep.

I’m about halfway through the first trade paperback of Promethea, which I will send on to you as soon as I finish. Picking up Buffy this weekend (hooefully), so will send the next couple of those your way as well

I turned the comments back on for this post–I hope that’s OK! I had to tell you how much your comment made me laugh, Ramona, because when I read the opening paragraph, I thought, “Wow, I could have totally written this!”

I love Buffy Season 8, too. They’re able to do so much more than they could get away with on TV (like, giving Faith a convincing English accent…?) The Walking Dead books are interesting, but very unnerving; I quickly learned I’d better not read them at bedtime, if I want to sleep well. I haven’t read Promethea, but want to and will; I’m interested in anything Alan Moore publishes.

I’m really looking forward to the day your comic collection and mine can cross-pollinate–admittedly, we’ll have a lot of overlap, but I’m sure there’s some interesting stuff on the fringes to be explored.

Yeah, I can’t tell you how often Kai and I are on the phone or I am reading an email from her and I’m just sitting there nodding and nodding and nodding, until finally I just have to burst out, “Me too! Yes! I know what you mean. That’s how I feel!” Crazy wonderful.

Until I got to the third paragraph, I thought I was reading a Kai posting – thinking how very much alike she and I are when it comes to reading. When I realized it was the Countess’ words, I thought, “No wonder those two are soul sisters!” R
