You are not the only one. That series has quite a cult following in these boards. I for one, think that the Sword of Light and the Shield of Night were awsome weapons for Dane (along with Strider), with the plus benefit of no curse. Unfortunately, it has been widely forgotten, probably because if more people found out about that series they'd realize how lame Bendis' Duke Chain version of Luke Cage is compared to Ostrander's.
