Oooh... I was just in the middle of writing a very pretentious song that melded the trip through the Inferno with WWI trenches...

Ooh, excellent reference to MacBeth, James. Sound and fury, signifying nothing. Doomed MacBeth about to die--perfectly apt metaphor for early 90s comic industry! The man's smart or something.

Roberts stuff over anything. ever.

The first volume is available in TPB i think. You also want to track down the two part chaos theory story from the preceeding TF ongoing.

Yep, Chaos Theory is vital to Shadowplay - didn't realise quite how much I was missing from the latter plotline until I went back and read those issues. Then I read Heart of Darkness :(

It's a good read, but when I go over to check it out... I mean doesn't anybody else get wound up just by the level of idiocy of a quite a few of the posters over there?

...

Somebody steal Roberts and keep him here for only us.
