At the F2F, Holli and I were talking about fic pairings, and she said she wanted to pair Dawn with Connor. *She* meant the Bon Bon version of Connor, but *I* was picturing Superboy. When I explained it, she made gleeful noises.
You have the emotional maturity of a blueberry scone.

Hee. Superboy is Conner with an E. Though Dawn Connor from Green Arrow Connor? Funny, funny thought.
It's a monk thing.
Soooo, this means I theoretically could get a ride home from you on New Comic Days? Keen!
Yep.

an overblown libretto and a sumptuous score/ could never contain the contradictions I adore
Green Arrow Connor
Ooh. This has potential.
Really, my only criteria for Dawn-boyfriends is that they fight crime. I just think it'd be *fun*.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."
Also, I'd be remiss if I didn't recommend the early Marv Wolman/George Perez stuff in Titans, which went a long way toward defining him as Kid Flash (Plus, the wicked weird Kid Flash/Raven romance.)
Wolfman/Perez are also responsible for establishing the Nightwing identity as we know it today. Plus the Judas Contract kicked ass and is in TPB.
I think there's limited superhero comic analysis for a variety of reasons. Comics Journal is actively anti-superhero, and until recently the larger story arcs didn't sustain the kind of mythos which breeds fic.
The exception would be X-Men stuff, which was (in its time) the nearest equivalent to what Batman Family is doing now. (That is - completely redefining an entire comic company in its image and spinning off a berjillion titles and mini series.)
Also, I bought No Man's Land and add my Damn You All to the pile.

Dude, David, did you get 1-5?
You needs you some Cataclysm. Yes you do.
Err. Pimp hat does not come off.

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

Muahahahahaha!

Yeah, I probably do. Btw, Virgin Megastore in NOLA had Robin Year One on sale for 75% off. If you're near a Megastore you might want to swoop through their graphic novels section and see if you can find some bargains. I probably should've picked it up for the Buffista Comics Library.
I've only got No Man's Land 1 so far, though the rest is inevitable I expect.

I've been working on a song about the difference between analogy and metaphor.
I just had a boatload of comics stuff come in at my library. Which I can't pick up for two weeks. Curse you, wee Plei. I will need to console myself with manga and anime.
Is this the place to inflict with manga and anime ravings? Are we giving in and declaring this Comicsverse, or should I shut up and/or take it to natter

Micole, I think we bullshit consensed that this is Comicsverse, inclusive of all media -- print, TeeVee, movies, etc.

Heh. Closest one is in Canada.
