I can perhaps contribute money once I, you know, have some. But I don't mind pitching in my BW:M? (not sure if we need another) and I can go get the titles of a couple other TPBs once I'm back in my room. Good thing I hadn't packed them yet.

Joss talks about X-Men.

Plei, are you around? The used Bats trades that're at the comic book store are No Man's Land 2 and 5, Bruce Wayne: Fugitive, Vol. II, Nightwing: Big Guns, and the first two Birds of Prey trades (one self-titled, the second one something about "Old Friends"). I know those first two are recommended, but I don't want to read only pieces of the narrative.

I'd rec the Nightwing and BoP trades. (Old Friends, New Enemies, IIRC--that's a title mention, if you have to choose, go with the eponymous one.)

I think the only Nightwing trade I wouldn't rec, unless you are an insane person like me and MUST HAVE everything, would be Ties That Bind. It's expositariffic. All the stuff after that, however, has been spiffy keen nifty.

Really? It's unnecessary for continuity?

Just go for a summary blurb. You can avoid the mullet, the polka-dot shirt, and Alfred doing a fist pump "YES!" if you don't get Ties That Bind.

Hm, okay. Maybe I'll pick them up for the purposes of the Comix Exchange. The Nightwing one did look interesting.

I want to read Batman comics. Who will ride with me to the store? I don't like to drive by myself since the only music I can listen to is the radio.

K. Picked up Bats 626 today. We shall see how this goes.

Oh, and Victor? You're a grandsire again.

Plei, how did you like the Azzarrello stint? I read the first couple issues since I'm a 100 Bullets fan, but I got bored with it and stopped.
