Talking of Colin, the first thing I saw when I walked into the store was a Eureka comic book, and my mind blew and remained blown for a few minutes. Very surreal.
Heh. I can only imagine. Much as I augaddaugaddaued to your "who is Colin?"
Everything looks good from here... Yes. Yes, this is a fertile land, and we will thrive. We will rule over all this land, and we will call it... 'This Land.' I think we should call it 'your grave!' Ah, curse your sudden but inevitable betrayal! Ha ha HA! Mine is an evil laugh! Now die! Oh, no, God! Oh, dear God in heaven!

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!
Has everyone read Daytripper ? Because it is beautiful and gorgeous.

I have! And yes.
I don't know how to talk about it but there was a lot of hype and I was trying not to build it up in my head before I read it and it turns out that it's great and lovely and moving. And I want to reread it except I have this huge pile of books & comics to read for the first time before I can think about rereading anything because I'm terrible.

Yeah, I was hoping not to be disappointed, and it was just so lovely and understated and even though I felt like I didn't really get to KNOW these characters in the span of ten issues, they still felt real in a way.
I also read Nick Spencer's Jimmy Olsen book, which I loved! So much fun, and very clever.

I am very sad I don't own this comic.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Can someone explain Jason Todd's hair to me?

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.
Just speculating; could it be a Lazarus Pit thing?

ita, I don't know where I read this, but I feel like it was retconned that he always had red hair but dyed it dark brown when he was Robin. (Possibly he dyed it because Batman made him?)
I swear I read that in one of the comics, because I can't imagine I would just dream that up in my head.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
And then he dyed in a white streak? So confusing.
Anyone reading Flashpoint? What's up with it? Any good?

I have had the hair question cleared up in my reading of Batman: Black Glove. You are absolutely right, Steph. Then he mentions the Lazarus pit gave him a white streak, and then the colourist goes on to not give him a white streak for the next couple of issues.
It's really weird seeing him red-headed. I keep thinking he's Allen or West.
