The Defenders was bitchin' though.
It was very strange, because I never cared for Dr. Strange, Namor, or the HUlk, but I liked that book a lot.
Now we're saving a vampire from vampires. I got two words for that -- Nuh and uh.

You always do this. We get tipsy, and you take advantage of my love of the scientific method.

So is Batman: No Man's Land only a novel -- or was there also a series of comics by the same name?
Yes, the other two things came in -- of three things I ordered from Amazon marketplace: one was exactly what I thought I ordered (Batman: Year One), one turned out to be only a piece of what I thought I ordered (Robin: Year One book 1) and one was something COMPLETELY different.
Oh well.

I was a story that ran in all the Bat comics (and spilled over into Justice League, Young Justice and others.) The bulk of it is collected in 5 graphic novels. It's surprisingly compelling.

So come, my friends, be not afraid/We are so lightly here/It is in love that we are made; In love we disappear
What Victor said. I think I saw a novelization of it recently at B&N, but the real deal is well worth reading.
Randomly, I share a birthday with the late Julie Schwartz. I feel strangely unworthy.

Okay, what are the 5 or 6 tpbs that I should be looking for then?

Thrive to spite them
Hey I found the comic book talk.
After reading Batman Year One I want to know more about Catwoman.
I'm not sure what book I'm going to get next---probably what ever is in the store when I make an impulse purchase. Although I am working off the list I've made from everyone's suggestions.

Yeah, goatees are good for that, too (makes "goody-little-two-shoes" face at victor).
Careful Sean, that's a 35 year-old fandom indicator for evil. This is the 21st century, and if I'm not mistaken Victor has far more leather pants-wearing cred than you.
OMG! The Buffy Palz are three-dimensional StorTroopers!

Jumping back a bit:
Of course, when Superman gave Batman the Kryptonite, you just know that as soon as he left, Bats tossed it to Alfred and said 'Put it with the others'.
