yes, I don't get how he can be put back together again. What is the time-frame for this? I've just read 75-93 and it seems like it was actually w/i this very short period of time. (For the characters.)

move out and draw fire
OK, I've read Transmetropolitan. Or at least the first three tpbs. That's one skanky-ass cat.
Also, Unclear Thesis City. I mean, I've laughed and I've cried (really), but from page to page I'm not sure what the author's point is, or what Spider's point is. Which is okay for Spider; he's inconsistent and just maybe on one long tear-assing rant. But Warren Ellis seems to have some points to make, and I'm having a hard time pulling them out. Do people suck? Are people basically redeemable?
The one point I think I'm fairly sure of is We Haven't Learned From The Past.
Still, I'm enjoying the heck out of them.

Plei, I haven't decided yet whether I get the Wes/Faith vibe off Nightwing and Tarantula, and I think this is partly to do with the fact that I cared about Faith, but Tarantula? Not so much. I may have to re-read the issue a couple ten more times to decide.
Meep.

So come, my friends, be not afraid/We are so lightly here/It is in love that we are made; In love we disappear
Shrift, I can see where that would make a difference. Though, really, the smothering creepy part is that (getting more into S6 Spike here) Catalina seems to think she's doing the right thing, where Faith... didn't.

Oh. Now that you put it that way -- you're totally right about Catalina. And it kinda makes it that much more wrong. I have the feeling this is gonna have me running in mental circles for a good long while.

Oh, yeah. My brain won't stop buzzing about this one for a while.
I mean, I'm up at quarter of seven, my time. And still thinking about it.

Okay, we have to wait a month for the next one? It's going to be difficult.
And only two weeks for the next Batman?

Next week on the schedule:
- BATMAN GOTHAM KNIGHTS #53
- BIRDS OF PREY #67
- OUTSIDERS #12
- ROBIN #126 (if you are willing to stomach it)
- ROSE & THORN #6 (final issue of the Gail Simone mini)
- SUPERMAN/BATMAN #10 (which means I suppose I need to get 2-9, as I was given 1)
Huh. Next week has four must-haves and two possibles. Also out next week is Issue 1 of JUSTICE LEAGUE OF AMERICA: ANOTHER NAIL, the sequel to The Nail, one of the more interesting Elseworlds out there.
Edit: Yeah, Batman 628 in two weeks.

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

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Is the Justice League with Alan Davis?
For Catalina, I saw what she did as more Spike than Faith. Bringing someone into her damaged (damn, I want to use "fold" here, but that's wronger than wrong) whatever.
