Crossovers

What is the greatest degree of crossover (i.e. involvement of non-Hellsing characters) that you would enjoy in the comic?

Current Results

None. Keep them out of Shine.
Minor characters and background roles (e.g. the shopkeeper in Shopping Spree)
Major figures in otherwise Hellsing-focused storylines (e.g. Madeline in Tu Seras Avec Moi)
Full-fledged crossovers, so long as they're short (e.g. Those Meddling Kids)
Full-fledged crossovers as extended storylines (e.g. Shine Or Die)
I could enjoy a storyline focusing on entirely non-Hellsing characters that had been previously introduced (such as Madeline and Agent Paper)
I don't know/I don't care
Something else, which I will explain in a comment

Yes, no, maybe so?

Now that you've seen the whole Reseda storyline:
As an original character, how much of a Mary Sue do you think Reseda is? (Suggestions appreciated.)

Not at all! She's a well-developed OC.
A great character with a few Sue-ish traits.
Eh . . . I'm on the fence.
She's very Sue-ish, but has redeeming qualities.
She's a complete Sue.Tsk, tsk.
I don't actually have an opinion, but I like to vote! ^_^

Yes.
Maybe.
I'll try.
I would if I could.
No.

Definitely.
No, but I'd pay five bucks for one.
No, but I'd like to see the video anyway.
Never!
I have no opinion; I just like voting in polls.

Griping about Dark Horse
Is anybody else sick of Dark Horse using slang (however British) in Integra's dialog?

Yes! Not to mention calling her "Miss Integra" all the time!
Yep.
Not really.
No! It's perfectly realistic to have Integra using slang!
Not as much as I'm sick of bad German accents (and don't even get me started on Alex's).
