I really didn't like Torque. Other than that, I got nothing.

Art Crawl!!!
The man who became Torque appears in the very first Nightwing tpb - assume that means that he appears in the very first Nightwing comics to fall under the Nightwing name and not under all those other comics series that he also appears in.

Am I insane?
Nope.

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?
Nope.
I was hoping you'd say that.
Want help?
That too. Lemme think a little on it and I'll babble at you.

Heh. When I get home, I really ought to post the updated list of all my trades and graphic novels so everyone here understands what it means when you think, "Oh, I'll just pick up one."
It's like eating a potato chip laced with HEROIN.
This is so true. Three years ago, I wandered into the local comics store just to pick up Fray #1. After a couple of visits, then it was "maybe I'll check out thie Buffy comic". Pretty soon it was "that Green Arrow cover sure looks cool" and "I've always liked Batman comics, this could be interesting." Fast forward to today, where I've got shelves exploding with trade paperbacks of all kinds, boxes of individual issues that need to be sorted and catalogued, and many singles that still need to be bagged and boarded. Hell, I thought my large filing cabinet would be large enough to hold my comics, because hey! I wasn't going to be buying that many.
It's fun to see others going through the same process.

Thrive to spite them
I'm kind of going thorugh that right now. I really need to get bags and boards and figure out where I'm going to store my comics.
I went in yesterday to see what was new and ended up walking away with a tpb and back issues of Nightwing and Batgirl.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Askye, never go in on Tuesday. Because you have to go in Wednesday anyway, and it just makes you spend more money.

I may have to seize the cat.

Yeah, me too.
Where my store really gets me is that they only let you charge if you're spending $10 or more, and I almost never have cash.

Heh. Yesterday's bookstore conversation re: Quiver
"You don't need to buy that. You have the scan."
"But what if I want to read it in bed?"
"I have it. You can borrow my copy."
"But I want to read it in bed at my house. Your copy is at your house."
"Borrow it today."
"Okay.... But what if I want to keep reading it at dinner? I think I need a copy to carry with me everywhere."
Umm, yeah.

You mean you can go to the comics store and spend less than $10?
Huh. I don't have that much willpower.
And I forgot to post my list of trades last night because I was too busy writing gen Robin fic. Oops.
