I mean, wait, no.
Book: Yes, I'd forgotten you're moonlighting as a criminal mastermind now. Got your next heist planned? Simon: No. But I'm thinking about growing a big black mustache. I'm a traditionalist.

Doesn't just bring it to mind. It's a reference to it.
Yes, thanks, DX. I do occasionally read something other than comics. I find it helps with the bantering.
I loves me some super manwhore Arsenal. As opposed to Nightwing, who would probably be a Superman whore.
"So, you guys know Robin? Is he seeing anyone?"
Dying. Of. Cute. I must get more YJ backissues.

To understand what happened at the diner, we shall use Mr. Papaya! This is upsetting because he's the friendliest of fruits.
I guess what Nightwing did with Huntress could be qualified as dating in broadest sense of the word.
Heh. Between Nightwing, Arsenal and Grace, I think the ad copy should read something like, "Outsiders: A super team worth sleeping with!"

an overblown libretto and a sumptuous score/ could never contain the contradictions I adore
Hey, people with kids--what would you recommend giving an 8 year old if you want to get him raised right hooked on comics?
My little sister's reading my copy of the first Teen Titans TPB, and she seems to like it. And I think she's gonna read my Ultimate Spideys next.

I just read the first issue of Ultimate Spidey. Interesting that in this version, Osborne presumably will know his identity from the onset. I'm anxious to see how that plays out in the rest of the first trade.

I'm all for truth in advertising.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."
I understand the Teen Titans comic that's based on the TV show is pretty good for that level. I think it's called Teen Titans Go!
Yeah, it's Teen Titans Go, Emmett loves it (and the cartoon) and it's up to issue 7 or 8.
He also likes the Cartoon Network comic Cartoon Cartoon!, and has at other times read the Powerpuff Girls comic.

The "Justice League Adventures," based on the cartoon, is supposed to be fun, too.

with a gleam in my eye, and an almost airtight alibi
That was just cancelled, Victor, though who knows, they may relaunch when the show does. They are still issuing Batman and Superman Adventures comics, in Readers-Digest-sized books.
The Powerpuff Girls comic book is really good too, though I'd suspect an 8 year old boy might reject it.

You always do this. We get tipsy, and you take advantage of my love of the scientific method.
I'm pretty sure the two smaller books were Crisis of Infinite Earth 1 and 2. Next time I'm in there I'll check.
I'm certainly curious. Just don't buy it if it's "What if Stan Lee had written Crisis" or any of that junk. Not the same thing.
The other possibility is that they're collections of the really old "Crisis on Earth One" and "Crisis on Earth Two" stories from the sixties that started the whole multiverse mess off. (Okay that actually happened in Flash, but those are the stories where the JSA first returned.)
