Past, present and future comics, not in that order

Halfway through the Ninja Turtles brick of a book collecting the first few years of the original series.  I think I'm going to have to put it away and get back to it in a few months.  Fun stuff, but like most serialized comics doesn't really improve by reading a 600 page chunk in a few days.

Reading P. Craig Russell's adaptation of SANDMAN: THE DREAM HUNTERS, I think I enjoy it more than the illustrated prose version that came out way back when. I certainly like the art better.

Still going through the old MARSHAL LAW stuff, an issue every few days.  That original story isn't my favourite bit, I'm not sure I would have kept reading after two or three issues if that was where I started (the first one I read was the TAKES MANHATTAN one-shot, then some later stuff, then the original series).  Great art, but the story is a bit disjointed and unclear.  Good thing I know it gets better.
