Monkeypox and other developments
* “Sir, as police officers, we’re concerned about your well-being. Now come with us to the hospital or we’ll taze you.” Sadly, not a joke.
* Swine flu? Where have you been? The cool kids are all worried about monkeypox now.
* Five hundred people collapsed one morning in a crowded field, and nobody knows why.
* I’m interviewed about BLOOD OATH by Cheryl Nason here, and by John Raab here. Also, if you’ve read the book, why not buy the T-shirt?
* My pals Borys Kit and James Hibberd have the scoop on the long-anticipated adaptation of Neil Gaiman’s Sandman.
* Woman moans about her car, totalled by a man falling 400 feet in a suicide attempt. Lady, you do realize the reporter was writing down what you said, right?
* What, again?

Sandman is such an elegant and beautiful comic (and did so well taking advantage of the medium) that it’s hard to imagine it working as a TV show. Plus the artwork was so strangely cartoony – can you imagine Gaiman’s portrait of hell standing up in CGI?

I have to admit a huge flaw in my geek armor. With the exception of a few single issues here and there, I never got into Sandman. Sad but true.
I know, I know, I have to remedy that.
