Sandman - Neil Gaiman

My favorite Xmas present this year (from my Mummy) is Book 4 in the Sandman series of graphic novels, Season of Mists. Yet another stunning example of how much DC DOES NOT SUCK! Fuckers. Anyway, I don't actually have much more to say about this other than I FUCKING LOVE SANDMAN. Also everything Neil Gaiman touches in general. Including Amanda Palmer (hubba hubba!).

These graphic novels are gorgeous, witty, wise, and just all around  phenomenal. Dream is an incredibly compelling character to follow around and kinda fear. My second favorite character has to be Death...because she is frikken sweet and basically what I wanted to look like when I was 16. Ya know, Ankh's and eyeliner. Dream is basically Neil Gaiman with some crazy ass hair sticking all over the place. So, ya know, sexy.

Sandman is perfection and deserving of all of the praise ever. All of it.

Sexy and I know it.

Why won't you just marry me already, Morpheus? You're fictional? What's that?

Gambit

Gambit (aka. Remy LeBeau) has got to be the sexiest X-Men character in existence. Bold statement, I know, but that Cajun accent has always haunted my dreams. It melts me. How could you not fall in love with that red eyed stare and those ultra-ripped abs? How? Raised by thieves, he also has that bad boy edge no girl can resist. Rogue sure couldn't...

Gambit also happens to have some rad powers, most notably charging, accelerating, and converting kinetic energy. And being really badass with cards. And that...staff. So yeah, mostly he's just a sexy bad-ass, which is more than enough to slay me.

When I found out his character would finally appear in X-Men Origins: Wolverine, I nearly wet myself. After watching it...well, they could've chosen a better actor to play him, but whatever. I guess I'll just have to revisit the X-Men cartoons of the 90's (like I don't anyway). It should be noted that he's nowhere near as attractive in X-Men Evolution. Mostly because the voice actor(Alessandro Juliani) sucks. Here's a cool comparison on the voice actors. I prefer Chris Potter and Phil LaMarr.

Okay, maybe Taylor Kitsch was a little yum as Gambit.

And now ends my nerdy rambling, though my obsession with Gambit shall continue.

OCTOPUS PIE

I am in freaking love with this comic! If only I weren't too lazy to put it in my sidebar...
