Sam felt fleshed out and like a real character unlike Marvel's non-hero gay marriage character Kyle. The relationship between Alan and Sam seems real, genuine and as if they actually love each other. Unlike say.. Nortstar and his beau who seem like strangers who talk like friends, but really have no spark or draw to each other, mostly b/c Kyle is a cardboard cut out of a character and not a real one.<br /><br />Anyhow, loved the issue. I'm hoping Sam pops up one day as the devastatingly handsome, mildly harmless, but utterly distracting Harlequin.Jan Arrahhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17358440197846354782noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6392489189136721402.post-2573852675574463902012-06-09T22:13:25.897+01:002012-06-09T22:13:25.897+01:00Do you think wesley dodds will appear as sandmanDo you think wesley dodds will appear as sandmanAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6392489189136721402.post-62428164321375664342012-06-09T17:15:05.613+01:002012-06-09T17:15:05.613+01:00Absolutely!

Maybe I'll check it out when it hits trades.<br /><br />Out of curiousity, this week begins the Before Watchmen mini-series, with the first one being Minutemen by Dwayrn Cooke. Will you be checking out any of these titles? The ones by Cooke (Minutemen like mentioned and Silk Spectre) are probably the only ones I'm interested in.Information Geekhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15397150034120296016noreply@blogger.com
