What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!

Joss Whedon's run was not well received, but I think some of it had to do with the fact that his issues were super late. Personally, I enjoyed his story.

Terry Moore's run is SO BAD. He doesn't seem to get the book at all, and the art is all wrong. I haven't bothered to buy it. I may buy it for completism's sake at some point. Maybe.

Kathryn Immonen's run is definitely an improvement. She's no BKV, but I think she got the book. Plus, the art is better.

It's on indefinite hiatus or something right now; I have no idea whether it's ever coming back. She was mum on it at Comic-Con last year.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

Why is the Robin of YJ Dick and not Tim? It's disconcerting.

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.

For the same reason it's Wally and not Bart. It makes no sense. You just have to go with the flow.

Don't mess with the Titans of yore! Looking at the character design, I guess I can tell it's Wally, but I never would have gotten that it was Dick under that Robin mask without help.

Looks like they make Bane darker-skinned here, but I don't think it counts enough for me to say his overall portrayal is as non-white in canon. I mean, given YJ seems tangential at best.

I look more rad than Lutheranism

Is this the TV show of YJ or the comic?

Relatedly, I picked up 4-5 months' worth of comics today. Maybe if I went in more often I wouldn't be shocked at the total bill for that many all at once.

TV Show.

I've decided to collect Batman & Robin, Gates of Gotham, and Batman Inc, for the moment. So I'm trying to go back and get all or most of those issues, and it's not bad. Going to go curl up with Damian bludgeoning the shit out of the Joker. I love that kid.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."

I was glancing through Holli's flickr set and came across a picture that I wanted Teppy to see.

Cute!!!!! And so are Blue Beetle and Booster Gold. (winky emoticon)

Wrong Beetle, though. (IloveyouJaime!)

Is anyone reading Flashpoint? Is it all that? Are many of the things they introduced likely to stick around? I just read someone hoping it meant Donna Troy and Kon El wouldn't be around after the series was done.
