Some comic book shops get a sampling of next weeks comics from DC and Marvel. So they may have the completed issue of next weeks Astonishing, Avengers and so on, behind the counter somewhere...
I could squeeze you until you popped like warm champagne, and you'd beg me to hurt you just a little bit more.

Outsiders #12, however, is still going strong with the HoYay. And the HetYay. Or maybe I should just say that Outsiders is delightfully large with the SexYay and the SnarkYay, and leave it at that.
Shrift, I'm pretty certain you and I probably started with the hysterical giggles at about the same place.
Or maybe not, because I'm much as I loved the whole Dick/Roy/Helena stuff, I'm mainly still in stitches over Shift making himself into root beer. Oh, and I keep reading his name as Shrift.

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?
Outsiders #12
Rassenfrassa. I knew I was forgetting some reason I was supposed to stop by the comic shop yesterday.

It was a SIX COMIC day. (Four of my regulars, two minis)
Robin 126 was... hmm. Not as horrible as I'd expected? BoP 67, I'll need to re-read when less exhausted, GK 54 was, well, GK 54. The art was nifty. Outsiders rocked, and in fact, rolled. Rose and Thorn concluded, Another Nail started.

I think you're right. I mean, yes, I giggled over the Dick/Roy/Helena stuff like hell, but I also giggled over the root beer Shift. Actually, I think the 'you are what you eat' bit with the Twinkie killed me more. Plus I had the cognitive dissonance of reading it wrong like you did. Also? The Indigo/Shift flirty stuff was cute as hell.
I also kept thinking that the way Roy needs to get Dick to care about the team? Have an orgy! That'll take care of it!

Oh! And Superman/Batman #10? Their love is still pure.

Oh, the twinkie bit had me lauging so hard I had to make Paul look at it. I think I said something like "this! this is why I love my comic!" Shift and Indigo are really, really cute.
and BWAH to the second notion. Also? Dude, Dick, way to call the kettle black when you're the pot there, honey.

Plei, I like to think that Dick calling the kettle black is simply his way of saying, "Dude, you're sleeping with everyone on the team but me? I'm hurt." Possibly because it's more fun than "Dude, Dick, hypocritical much?"

Well, I can see how in Dick's world view, it's not hypocrisy, but that would involve hand gestures or something. Also, sorting out my extended thoughts on the matter.
