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

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

Judd Winick owes me money.

I am working on converting everyone I know and love to this title...

It seems only right and proper.

Art Crawl!!!

I bought the Outsiders TPB and love it.

I've got a Nightwing question -- involving the arc that is just ending. I want to read it but have no idea how far back I have to go to find the beginning or to reach a point where it might make sense to me, you know?

Basically -- all the Nightwing I've read is "A Knight in Bludhaven" and what's in the Outsiders TPB.

The guy at my comic shop suggested that it was way too long and too complicated to get into at the end because it was finalizing stuff that started at the very beginning. I'm not satisfied with that -- because as far as I can tell, even if I get all the collections out there -- they won't bring me close to where the series is now.

What I'm thinking of doing is going and putting all the separate comics I can find on hold until I can play catch up with the tpbs -- is this insane? And as I asked before how far back would I have to go?

Thanks!

I was wondering the same thing, when I was in the comic store a few weeks ago and trying to make sense of NW #91 (or maybe it was #92).

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?

If you can find 'em, I'd say start with 75 -- that puts you before any of the big events, and at a not-too-confusing starting point. The next jump-in place (without putting you in the middle of a multiparter or anything like that) is probably 83.

Oh! Big Geek Moment: last night I dreamed I was in the Teen Titans, who were a weird conflation of the Cartoon Network Titans and the comic book Titans.

What? I was reading Batman: A Lonely Place of Dying before I went to sleep, and the Titans are in it. Makes sense.

What Amych said. I mean, *yeah* they're dealing with events in this arc that date all the way back to the beginning, but picking up the backstory is easy enough.

DG's run starts in 71, but you can pick up in 75 easy.

Hey. New board.

In a much less mainstream comic vein, I just read the second issue of Serenity Rose again. It's awesome. I think you can probably still read the first two issues online at [link] and you should. Then go buy the issues in book form. Also, the third book is now out as well. I'm about to read it. Which makes me happy.

ETA: Yes, you can read them online. Click the yellow flower.

I also bought Robin: Year One to jump back into something you people talk about more.
