Congrads on the recent windfall! I'll admit I am very envious of having the Absolute collection; I spend more time than I should on eBay trying to find them for prices I can justify. Someday though, someday! And thank you for the kind words! I hope you enjoy the reread. I've heard of some folks listening to the audio productions while reading the comics, which seems like it might be a fun thing to try.
