Ple, did you know that JZ and Rucka are friends from college?

!!! That'd be a no.

Sigh.

my love for Bart is even greater. And he showed up in a dress again while trying to covertly tail somebody.

Well, crap. Now I have ANOTHER thing to get. Man, I love Bart.

Gah. So nervous about NW93. My head keeps going "this cannot end well." Then my head keeps saying (as a result of a recentish binge on ALL my Dick stuff) so, is this going to be the one where he really snaps, kills someone, and it takes? And that makes WAY more sense than it should. Poor boy.

Of course Bart ain't right in the head. He's, like, two. Or is he three now?

Now I have ANOTHER thing to get. Man, I love Bart.

Well, it was weird -- it starts off with Bart's intro into the Flash series, then skips a whole bunch. There are a couple of pages of explanation by the writers, and then it starts off with Impulse #1 through, um, #5 or 6? Basically, origin story, and Bart being a total cutiehead.

Bart being a total cutiehead.

Thus making it a must buy.

I have sad Bart love.

Thus making it a must buy.

Yeah, I can't point fingers, because now I'm thinking I need to get more Impulse back issues, considering that Reckless Youth is the only TPB I know of.

Wait, who's Bart?

EW actually had a little bit about it in a recent articlel, about movies that should be made but haven't yet.

Yeah, I saw that. Aronofksy's the latest one attached, which would fucking rule. Watchmen is so cool. I love the way Moore uses tableaux as scene transitions. He did it in The Killing Joke too.

It kind of makes me hope Willingham shows his face at Dragon*Con so's I can tell him what I think about his Batfamily characterization.

But tell him Fables is really cool! On my behalf.

Hmmm, I don't understand why (in the new Bats) Robin finds going out in drag any odder than his usual Costume.

I like the GCPD -- it was like Homicide.

Also, my comics buy is ordering NML 3-5 for me.

And Teppy -- NML grabbed me from the first page. Plus I loved Oracle's map of Gothem City with all the territorial divisions.

Yeah, I can't point fingers, because now I'm thinking I need to get more Impulse back issues, considering that Reckless Youth is the only TPB I know of.

D'ya have the Robin + Impulse title? Meet cute on snow? Is that in RY?

It's annoyingly precious. I love it. (Dude, I bet this is why dudes fear it when chicks get into comics, but seriously, he's just darling.)

Hmm. Should send reminder to P to get my things today.

I'm crack pimping to SA. Mwahahaha. She shall be one of us.

Wait, who's Bart?

Bart is AKA Impulse.

And yeah, he's all of three (even though he's physically in his teens - he was raised in the future in a virtual reality simulator then brought back to the present day to be tutored by Wally West and Max Mercury).

In Teen Titans, isn't Bart asserting that he should be called Kid Flash now, not Impulse?

Also, Sumi -- YES! I *love* Oracle's map in NML!

D'ya have the Robin + Impulse title? Meet cute on snow? Is that in RY?

No, it's not in RY. And now I must have it!

In Teen Titans, isn't Bart asserting that he should be called Kid Flash now, not Impulse?

Yes, he recently decided he wanted to be taken more seriously. However, the Impulse: Reckless Youth TPB is from '94. Bart had his own Impulse title, and went by Impulse in Young Justice. (Or, as Superboy liked to call him, "Imp.")
