A little more information on the Sandman Slipcase set. It looks like Sandman Volume X, The Wake, which will be the last of the reprintings to come out, will also be sold WITH the Slipcase for all of them. So if you have the books so far, you can get the Slipcase then.
Also comics stores and online retailers will need to get their orders in NOW, as DC Comics will be doing these to order, so please remind your local comic shop to order one for you — http://www.comicshoplocator.com/, or order online now (it’s currently $125 at Amazon, and I’m sure there are similar deals elsewhere on the web), if you want to be sure of getting one in November.

The research, published in Current Biology, adds to the growing body of evidence that birds remember the appearance and voices of individuals, along with their prior encounters with them. Last year we told you how crows don’t forget faces, for example.
Crows used to follow me around in flocks when I lived in B.C. There were so many crows on that island…
