Is there any reason for the Elongated Man to exist now that DC owns the rights to Plastic Man?
He's been played more recently as a more mature detective type, and it sounds like Meltzer's going to put him in the forefront.
But if the world doesn't end, I'm gonna need a note.

To understand what happened at the diner, we shall use Mr. Papaya! This is upsetting because he's the friendliest of fruits.

Also, "Identity Crisis" comes out today. DC comics murder mystery, written by Brad Meltzer, who's work on "Green Arrow" seriously kicked. Supposed to feature the "Satellite Era" JLA--Green Arrow, Hawkman, Atom, Black Canary, Zatanna and Elongated Man. Previews look awesome.
Oh shit. That's right.
Well, crap. I'll be twitching all day until I can boogie off to get my pulls.

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?
My list for today:
Nightwing 94
Identity Crisis 1
Green Arrow 39
Batman: Legends of the Dark Knight 180
See if lame little store still has any copies of Astonishing X, which I still haven't picked up.
And a new scanner to, uh, do things I would never ever do.

GS: If you had to choose between kicking evil in the head or the behind, which would you choose, and why?
Minsc: I'm not sure I understand the question. I have two feet, do I not? You do not take a small plate when the feast of evil welcomes seconds.
It has, actually. Check out Peter David's X-factor run after 72 or 73. Havok spent some time in a suit that, while not necessairily better, was much more in line with the style of the time. (He had an onion on his belt).
What time period was that? All I know if he first appeared in the 60s and I'm now up to the mid-eighties and he's still wearing the same really dumb-looking outfit.
Also, Rogue looks really odd (and rather middle-aged) with her initial hairstlyle.
Not sure why people were up in arms about Mystique in the movies beating the crap out of people, because she seems to do it quite a lot in the comics so far (when she's not using a gun, anyway.)

I may have to seize the cat.
amych - yesterday was driving out to visit friend who lives in the complex I'm hoping to move into, and as we drove by Ultimate boyf goes - "Hey, there's a comic book store here!" I said "That's why I'm moving here. I mean uh... that's... an added benefit to moving here."

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
But in the comics she doesn't have super ninja fighting powers. She has extreme human fighting powers.

Where exactly is that line? I mean, in a book I just read she muses she would have snapped Wolverine's neck with a kick if not for his adamantium skeleton.

The line is that I know people IRL who can do that. I don't know anyone who could do what she did in the movies.
