Have you read the Stardust comic? If so, how does it compare to the movie and between the two, which take on the tale do you prefer?

So, you’re coming to the WAL then, right? Right? :smiley:

…I’ll order-in deviled eggs, but only if you actually show up.

Fun Fact: Stardust was directed by Matthew Vaughn, who would go on to direct other comic-based movies, such as Kick-Ass and The Kingsman Trilogy.
