What....the...hell?

I guess this isn't completely without precedent, given that DCU characters appeared in the original run of "Sandman" (and Daniel/Dream had a guest spot in JLA). But the idea that this might start happening on a regular basis worries me.
Gaiman approved it. I can't see that happening very often.

And besides right now Action Comics is basically a Lex Luthor miniseries, since JMS won't let anyone else use Superman for like a year. The guy writing it did the Captain Britain and the MI3 series which was pretty good.

I'll wait until I pirate a copy before I run my mouth off.

It's not that Gaiman doesn't care about his characters, but his approval doesn't have a lot of weight with me. Now If Alan Moore approved and liked the use of his characters, that's saying something.
He didn't like it when they used her in Captain Atom, so at least we know he doesn't just approve anything.

Though now that I think about it they did put out a lot of crappy Sandman spin offs in Vertigo and he had to approve those too.

allan, I don't want you frequenting that crazy arse bored!

So so many sycophants - I almost didn't make it out!

Yeah.

Also, Moore being a cranky old man was my point. He comes off so narrow-minded and tight-assed that he probably wouldn't approve anything that isn't a quality take.
or would he...

Gaiman wrote Death's dialogue.

I suspect the byrneboards' boobophobia has something to do with old rkmb posters spamming their forum with Llance boobie pics.

Especially Byrne...

Talk about Hive Mind mentality...every post Byrne makes is followed by 100 "You're right JB!!" ones.
