Every planet has its own weird customs. About a year before we met, I spent six weeks on a moon where the principal form of recreation was juggling geese. My hand to God. Baby geese. Goslings. They were juggled.

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

Just check out Amazon — you can buy it on DVD. Has a nice audio commentary, too. And you'll definitely know if it's the uncut version. You can't miss the label on the cover.

just back from Amazon

Well that was simple. Apparently Tim Drake fans are going to need to own this.

So come, my friends, be not afraid/We are so lightly here/It is in love that we are made; In love we disappear

Chronicles #5 is basically Oracle Year One. I have an e-version of it. Her issues are so tied up in the mess that Joker made of her in Killing Joke, above and beyond the gunshot. Trying to remember which BoP deals with that pretty explicitly.

She so strong and so damaged at the same time, and one feeds the other.

Babs likes carrots.

Oh, I CLEARLY need C#5. I was disappointed that the BoP Secret Origins issue didn't deal with this at all.

E-version, you say...?

Yep. Email me, and I'll check it out when I get home.

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

OK, I thought all of the posting would be about 1602, and since I didn't pick it up until today, I avoided the thread. My mistake.

Catching up...

Does anyone have some recs of comics that would be good for a 7 year old?

I'll have to chime in with the others and mention Bone. It was a great hit with my 9-year-old nephew this Christmas.

1602 #8 has been acquired.

Ditto. I about died when I saw the cover, being the big map geek that I am.

In other news, my favorite comics shop is moving on May 1. To within walking distance of my house.

My shop just moved this week, and is now only a few blocks from my house. Before, I would visit it during lunchtime, thus limiting my time in the shop. Now, who knows.

This is either very, very good or very, very bad.

Ditto.

I started to collect JSA, but have lapsed.

Is it still any good?

I still collect it. I find it worlds better than JLA. (The Claremont/Byrne issues are unbelievably bad, IMHO).

Aspiring Bat-fans might want to take a look at Batman: The Ultimate Guide to the Dark Knight, which is a coffee-table book giving a fairly up-to-date info on the mythos.

Just to note that this is probably 2 years out of date by now. It came out before the whole Batman: Murdere/Fugitive mega-crossover, so it mentions a few people who were alive then who are now...not.

BOP #8, etc.,

You have a copy of this, Michele T.? I've been trying to get my hands on a copy for 2 years. The current price at Mile High Comics is $150.00 for near-mint, and it's never in stock. I'm going to have to try and get it from ebay, after I recover from my tax bill.

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

Huh. I have this one somewhere. I should take better care of it.

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

This is an interesting site: Batsquad. If you click on Characters, it pulls down particular issues and TPB in continuity order on the left hand side with little summaries.

If you click on Birds of Prey, you can scroll down and look at the cover of Birds of Prey #8 (for example) and get a paragraph synopsis.
