I like Havoc's costume.
You got all kinds of learnin' and you made me look the fool without tryin', and yet here I am with a gun to your head. That's 'cause I got people with me. People who trust each other, who do for each other, and ain't always lookin' for the advantage.

You always do this. We get tipsy, and you take advantage of my love of the scientific method.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."
I like Havoc's costume.
Yeah, me too. It was immediately distinctive. Nobody else had a planetary orbital model on their head.

with a gleam in my eye, and an almost airtight alibi
No one else had that kind of balance!

Heh. I am now imagining a geek superhero who makes his costume so complex that it requires all of his superpowers just to maintain the costume. "Can't fight. Supervillains....Must telekinetically maintain orbiting costume accessories in perfect alignment with....Transit of Venus."

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.
Sorry, the fact it looks like you could shred cheese with his skull, combined with that gemstone-thing in the middle of his forhead and the funky mask that makes his face looked stretched out just doesn't work for me.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Havok's headpiece is a lot smaller now. Less wide orbits.

Thanks, ita. Wow, costume #4 is bad, isn't it?

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!
I just got back from the comic book store. Damn.
Nightwing #94: I think I want to have Devin Grayson's babies. I know Michele found it meh, but there were just some brilliant bits, like Dick's babbling about the way sound works and how he didn't say STOP and the way the flashbacks were done. Yeah, I know comic not called Tarantula, but I could still feel everything he was going through, being shuttled through this story, relegated to the sideline almost, not having come to terms with what's happened yet trying to deal with this new "relationship" with Tarantula. Somehow, this issue portrayed Nightwing's mindset brilliantly without being Nightwing-centric.
And then, since I couldn't miss THE COMICS EVENT OF THE YEAR, I picked up Identity Crisis.
Wow. It's really good. Like, I almost wanted to buy it, and I never buy issues; I just wait for the trades. I'm not even that familiar with the DCverse, so the backstory went over my head, but I could still follow it all right. Anyone want to help me out with the relevant bits? And who the fuck is Dr. Light?
Then 100 Bullets #50, which was pretty sweet (and I knew it would be, being #50 and all) since we finally get the origin of the Trust and the meaning of CROATOA, kind of. And the introduction of a new Minuteman. Was it just me, or did one of the guys in the shootout look like Cole?
Finally, Fables #whatever it was. Holy crap. Deaths galore. Hell, fucking PINOCCHIO bites it. It kind of reminded me of "Chosen." Can't wait to see how this wraps up.
