Anyone here read Old Man Logan? Is it as cracky as the synopsis would have me believe? Would you recommend it for a Wolverine fan who bailed on him when he seemed to have Jamie Madrox's power as well?
Seems like everyone's got a tale to tell.

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

GS: If you had to choose between kicking evil in the head or the behind, which would you choose, and why?
Minsc: I'm not sure I understand the question. I have two feet, do I not? You do not take a small plate when the feast of evil welcomes seconds.
YJ:
I thought we got a lot of hints about her father previously. We knew her mother had been in jail but not that she had been a supervillain.
Of course, I may have just been remembering something said here in regards to her father which pushed it into "of course" territory whenever hints were dropped.
And I agree, it would have been nice to have Tim and Bart instead of Dick and Wally, though I do enjoy the latter's interactions.
I did like the line last week from Batman about taking Dick in as Robin to make sure he didn't turn out like him.

I figured out who her father was because I googled her name, and discovered that her character exists in the regular DC universe.

I meant to record that, but all the previews didn't give me much hope. The weird anime-esque cuts in Teen Titans worked because of the animation style as a whole and feel of the show. All the cuts I saw in the Ultimate Spider-man previews felt really, really out of place and jarring.

For those who are interested in such things, Mark has begun reading Sandman. I am re-reading along with him after six years, and I'm already getting a deeper appreciation of it from reading the comments (along with online annotations and wikis). I had no idea Lucien wasn't an original character!

Woe to the fucking wicked.
P-C, I decided this morning that I'm going to do a re-read-along, too.
