Yes, the dreaded "fill-in issue". You're talking about the one with the Arrowcar, right? Written by Scott Beatty?

Yerp. That one. Which, of course, just *had* to be the first GA I picked up months ago when I was deciding if I wanted to read it or not. Man, the Arrowcar issue was lame.

I keep thinking Beatty's written something I liked, too. But that wasn't it.

There have been at least 3 long-time relationships in the DC-verse that have broken up recently? I started wondering if this might be something that the IC might affect somehow.

Babs dumped Dick, Linda left Wally, and Jade dumped Kyle.

The only relationship I really see IC potentially affecting is Linda and Wally's marriage.

Art Crawl!!!

So, that's 4? (Because BoP mentions another -- unless that is off in the waaay past?)

Sumi, technically, that hasn't actually happened yet, but BoP is ahead of the book where it does in terms of chronology.

He was the regular writer on Batman:Gotham Knights before A.J. Lieberman took over, so that may be what you've been exposed to. He had a pretty good Huntress arc in his run there.

Heh. I just realized it's because he's the co-writer on my best beloved TPB, Batgirl: Year One that I know him.

Hey, did they re-do how Babs got into the Bat game? I've seen her origin story from back in the 60s, and it was kinda weak.

with a gleam in my eye, and an almost airtight alibi

Yeah, they did, and it's really very good. Go! Buy!

What she said!

It's wonderful. I adore every single one of its pretty little pages.

I re-read it once a month, at least.

Love love love.

So is that what Year One is for her? Bacause Batman Year One isn't really Bats' origin story (more of an early days), although it certainly touches on it.
