Firstly, I haven't managed to see the series yet, though I *have* for 
some reason managed to get hold of a nearly complete set of the 
associated Japanese trading cards.  ^_^

Secondly, hey Tomi, nice to hear from ya dude, thought you'd gone the 
way of tank tops.

> Okay, Sam, for the life of me, I don't know who John Constantine is.

John Constantine. Vertigo character. Looks a little like 
Sting. Created by Alan Moore for his limited stab at writing Swamp 
Thing. Star of long running series Hellblazer, written by people 
like Jamey Delano, Garth Ennis and Warren Ellis. Turns up at odd 
moments in Sandman, more in Books Of Magic.

I'm still in a small amount of shock over that. It's like corporate 
loss expectancy gone horribly morbid.
