Sandman Mystery Theatre, Unknown Soldier

Sandman Mystery Theatre 65-70

The Goblin: Wesley gets a concussion and wanders around the city as the Sandman person with no recognition of his true self.  Dian volunteers at an orphanage and gets caught up in a string of child abductions.

The Hero: Wesley ties up loose ends when he decides to go to Europe to rescue his brother.  He finally proposes to Dian.  Dian sells her first novel.  It’s a wonderful way to wrap up a splendid series that was never flashy but always impressive, just like Wesley and Dian.  

Aww.

I wouldn't say he deserves it, but good for Burke!

Of course he knew.  Just like Gordon does w/ Batman.

Klein gets his earned moment of recognition.

Unknown Soldier 1-4

Garth Ennis tells a bunch of war stories about the corrupt side of the US military.  He bundles them in a conspiracy involving the Unknown Soldier and the clean cut CIA operative investigating him.  It zips along at a really fast pace, expertly told by Garth Ennis and drawn by Kilian Plunkett channeling Chris Bachalo.  (Plunkett, who I really like here, hasn’t done much since, having worked at Lucasfilm on The Clone Wars for ages.)

Isn't that why people do most things in the world?
