I think the one of superhero-Cthulhu got me the most ... (and yeah, I've seen the Cutethulhu video.)
But yeah, you're right about knowing being better. I just read "Murders in the Rue Morgue" and read the section in Vol. 1 with Dupin -- he really GOT that character.
(Also, as an aside, Kevin O'Neill's work has REALLY improved.)
You've seen Jess Nevins' annotations, right?
Oh, totally. I spent Christmas weekend reading through "The New Traveler's Almanac" with the annotations. (I didn't realize there've been, like, THIRTY matriarchal societies on earth over the years.) I'm thinking about buying the books now, too.
