"Don't think of yourself as an organic pain collector racing towards oblivion." Dogbert to Dilbert

The version just launched, with the new Robin, the new Wondergirl, Superboy and Impulse, along with Cyborg acting a lot like Cyborg, Starfire, Changeling (I refuse to call him Beast Boy) and, soon, Raven, has been very promising. Hoping to goodness it doesn't start sucking.

Yes to this. I think the series has rocked out of the gate. Geoff Johns has already said more about the current Robin (Tim Drake) with one line than Jon Lewis has said in his 18+ issues that he has had the Robin comic.

So, did anybody else pick up last week's Buffy comic. At least they are ending the series on a relatively (for the comic) strong note. The book really suffers from the lacksadaisical pencils of Pascoe, though. The painted panels by Bruce Horton look great, but when you get to the regular panels, it's just bleah.

To understand what happened at the diner, we shall use Mr. Papaya! This is upsetting because he's the friendliest of fruits.

Oh, yeah: (White-fonted for Spoilers)

Wonder Girl: You lied to Starfire?

Robin: I lie to Batman.

Oh yeah. THAT'S Robin.

I haven't caught the cartoon - is Wonder Girl Donna Troy, or have they updated her to Cassie Sandsmark?

No Wonder girl in the cartoon.

Wonder Girl isn't in the line-up (at least in the episodes I have seen). The line up is Robin, Cyborg, Beast Boy/Changeling, Starfire, and Raven.

"We are the Goon Squad and we're coming to town...Beep! Beep!" - David Bowie, "Fashion"

Question - is the Gaiman book that people are talking about the new hardcover Sandman? If so is it a) completely new (that was my impression) and if so b) how much is it going for?

Thanks.

Oh, also, when is the next 1602 out?

Question - is the Gaiman book that people are talking about the new hardcover Sandman? If so is it a) completely new (that was my impression) and if so b) how much is it going for?

a) Yes. The book is called Sandman: Endless Nights and is a collection of stories about each member of the Endless, with each story illustrated by a different artist.

b) $24.95 is the list price on the book. I haven't picked up a copy yet, so I don't know what kind of discount (if any) is available on the book. Both amazon.com and Barnes & Noble list the book at $17.46.
