Also, you can tell it's not gonna have a happy ending when the main guy's all bumpy.

I put this month's and last month's Robins on hold -- because I bought -- two NW tpbs, Astounding X-Men (2 copies -- one for a friend), the first book of "Nevermore" and a GC back issue.

So, are you guys saying that Batman is no longer the "Dark Knight" but more the "Kind of Jolly Knight" now that Step is Robin?

Do the Batman in the eponymous title and the Batman in Robin's title share continuity? I don't read either, but the whitefont is making me curious about this fact.

I think that they do. . . unless your talking about the Dark Knight Returns, then no.

Batman eponymous is running a little behind Robin right now.

Oh and I have a Catwoman question -- I looked at the new Catwoman and decided to not pick it up. It seems to be in Continuity with Batman etc, but when did they both start knowing each other's real identities? I mean -- have they always? Why wouldn't Bruce figure out some way to turn her in? Or is she all good now? Thanks!

I may have to seize the cat.

Far from caught up. Just wanted to say that while I was out today getting Astonishing #2, I also got Batman: Year One. It was remarkably well-priced, and the comic book shop's $10 or more credit card rule applied. Because I only had $2 cash.

Sumi: during Hush, when they were sort of involved, which would answer the second question. IIRC, though, Bruce has known Selina was Catwoman for a while (they know each other as Bruce and Selina as well, natch, and have a history of sorts). His reveal to her of his ID was a big effin deal in Hush.

move out and draw fire

Is there a website that lists all the issues of any particular title?

Read Astonishing. It was good, and Joss is quite obviously a Kitty Pryde fan. Loved Beast's suggestion that Scott and Logan fight on the lawn again, possibly for a beer. Regarding the end: is that in-character for Beast? I always got the impression he felt being blue and furry was worth it for the ability to fight evil, though obviously there might be some sort of resentment. I just wonder if the feeling has come up before in canon.

The comic book store guy is a fan, and a customer who came in said the first issue was better than he'd thought it would be. So it seems to be pretty well received, which is nice for Joss.

Lots of them.

[link] does it for most of DCU.

You Marvel people are on your own, though. Only site for your stuff I went to was the old Spider-Woman site, and it's long gone.
