I haven't see the animated Doomsday yet, but I was pleased to hear that you liked it, I'll have to get ahold of it!

I've never been as into superheroes in comics, I think my timing was off. When I was little (in the 1950-60s) I had only read some Archie, Little LuLu, and Mad Magazine (which was as far as little girls went in those days). When I was in High School & College (late 1960s/early 1970s) my brothers were into R. Crumb and I read quite a bit of that through them.
In the late 1980s I had a friend who was in India and couldn't bear to be missing so many of the great graphic novels, so I was buying them for him (and reading them first before shipping them over-seas). I loved Sandman and Watchmen, but he wasn't asking for Batman or Superman....

So now Joss has brought me back to comics in a much bigger way than ever before. It is such an interesting medium which embraces so many different kinds of stories. I love it more all the time, the more I read.
