Yeah, comic store employees can sometimes turn out to be like the guys who work in the record store in High Fidelity.

I find bouncing a little helps with that.

I am, of course, shameless.

Amych, you rock completely. Should the Wiki have pre-title backstory thumbnails? (Wiki entries for major storylines, like C/L, after which the NW title picked up.)

I was thinking of that, as well as a category for big multi-title Batverse arcs (Cataclysm comes to mind as an obvious example) in which the NW title plays a part.

on edit: "Nightwing and the Batverse" category added to contents page -- let's see what seems to fit there....

Yep. And the minor crossovers that affect the title, like Last Laugh.

This is gonna be fun.

Also, a lot of Data Entry.

t groan Yep.

Oh dear god. I've just caught up in this thread, and now I'm having to fight the urge to purchase EVERY SINGLE NIGHTWING RELATED COMIC IN THE STORE when I go pick up my Astonishing X-Men after work.

You all are a bunch of pushers, that's it.

Don't fight that urge. He's fun. He's snarky. He's a deliciously complex character. And he's ALLERGIC TO SHIRTS.

(Me? Not a pusher. Not at all.)

I forgot that there is new Batman today!

I'm not going to the comic shop today -- due to stupid flu-y weakness.

Is Batgirl:Year One the only Batgirl tpb about Barbara Gordon? (I don't have anything against Batgirl Mark II -- I'm just more interested in Babs right now.)

But! I have too many comics already. And it seems like I need to add, like, ten new titles just to keep up with this deliciously shirtless snarky superhero.

Oh it'll start small, sure. Just one issue here, a TPB there. And next thing you know, I've got the entire Batfamily in my box, and I'm hitting the backissues bins twice a week, and trolling eBay for bargains, and getting my crackhits from Milehigh Comics.

I've gone down this path before.

What Amych said.

Yep. There's not a lot of post-Crisis Babs-as-Batgirl stuff (and what there is isn't especially good). There are a couple specials like the Batgirl Girl Frenzy issue, and there's the two-parter Batgirl/Catwoman Oracle/Catwoman.

Dickwiki! I'm going to be saying that ALL. DAMN. DAY. Dickwiki!

Also I forgot to mention that in 2 stores the new comics are arranged alphabetically.

That's whack. I mean, maybe I'm weird, but I think in terms of publisher first, then alphabetically. Or I've possibly had the Marvel vs. DC discussion a few too many times.

Why, is there something wrong with this lifestyle?
