 rightstuf.com's current sale is 33% of CMX comics, 40% off if you're in their club thingie.  I highly approve of this, as I've been waiting for that and a Go!Comi sale (which I don't think they'll ever have...another few weeks and i'll have to concede defeat and pay a bit more for a few things at Amazon...)

Has anyone read The Empty Empire, From Eroica With Love (I'm positive someone recced it to me...smillaraaq?) Key to the Kingdom, or Musashi Number Nine?

Yeah, Sanzo is who I've been thinking about during the Klaus discussion, and since I like Sanzo just fine...

*nods* When I first started getting into Saiyuki, that was pretty much the big parallel that struck me -- "my god, he's like a blond Klaus with an even bigger attitude problem!" If I were the sort who could write crossover crackfic, I'd be doing something RIGHT NOW where they're commiserating over coffee and chain-smoking on how much it sucks being the only competent one trying to save the world when your bosses are perverts and your underlings are pervs and idiots. And if you enjoy the snarky Sanzo/Gojyo dynamic, you might enjoy the Klaus/Dorian exchanges. The big difference being it's arguable whether Gojyo ever *means* any of his flirty teasing around the monk, or is just being a gadfly; Dorian definitely really means it, although he also seems like he's not above camping it up even more outrageously than usual just for the fun of watching the Major get more and more flustered. But in both cases, for all that they're such wildly incompatible personalities, there does seem to be a sort of grudging respect and friendship that's eventually built up under the snark -- not that it's ever going to be spoken out loud, of course.
