... To someone who's seen, read and heard as much sci-fi about VR simulations, and questions of perception versus reality, as Dream.

> Man, he sure does get shot in the head a lot. I mean, he's going to be giving Wonder Man a run for his money in the dying department. And we already know that he'd sleep with his sister...

While I think I've gone on record about intentionally turning death into a revolving door for Dream, I honestly hadn't noticed that so many of my portrayals of him include an injury-to-the-head motif.

I suspect I appreciate how it gives me excuses to depict him as punch-drunk and trying to gather his wits, which is one of my favorite of his moods to write about, and I suppose it's something of a literal indication of how thick-headed he can be.

> A fun riff on Marvel's poor decisions, and a much welcome continuation of the Moderator saga!

I probably derived a bit too much vindictive enjoyment out of how horrified Valium was by Dream's capacity for sheer spitefulness.

    - No, I'm saying that considering your astronomical hate for OMD, I thought Dream's response was rather measured (in Dream-logic) :) (no text) · Hatman · Tue Jan 22, 2008 at 09:44:32 am EST
