One of the Nightwing TPB's I bought was "The Hunt for Oracle" -- is the continuation with the story about Dinah collected anywhere?

Sumi, there's lots more Dinah in Birds of Prey (IIRC, the Hunt for Oracle issues are BoP 20-21, so you might want to start there and go on). C'mon, you know you want another monthly title....

Actually 20, 21 are in "The Hunt for Oracle" tpb -- I think that I need 22-25 - are they collected anywhere? Or do I have to go looking?

I can hook you up this evening, if you'd like.

Plei, I'm starting to like Bart more. I just get the sense that he's really really YOUNG, compared to the other Titans. Not necessarily age-wise (because he's from the *future,* yo), but temperment-wise.

Well, he *is* only about, what, three or four? And for his first couple years, was raised in a VR environment to keep up with his rapid physical growth. He's much more mature now that he used to be, but our Kid Flash is still very much a boy.

Of course, if I change the name to "Bart," all my meatspace friends -- non-comics-reading people -- will think I mean Simpson. Meh.

Call it Kid Flash.

Also loved the return of Kitty's wittle-bitty dragon.

See, I had no idea it existed, so I was all, "What the hell is a Pokémon doing in here?!"

Willingham may be a competent storyteller elsewhere

He is. Fables!

I read Astounishing, which I will never be able to spell or pronounce correctly now

Wait, seriously, what's up with the extra 'u'? Is this a British thing? A typo we've picked up? Why aren't we calling it Astonishing? I'm so confused.

amych!!! That would be excellent!!!

Thank you!!!

Yes, it was a typo we picked up. It's Astounding and Astonishing at the same time!

It's Astounding and Astonishing at the same time!

Aha. I get it now. Thank you.

I totally read Batman: Year One at Borders a week ago. It's priced at only six bucks normal, which isn't so bad for, what? Three or four issues? Still might wait for it used, cause I don't have a burning desire to own it just yet. I should go to Borders and read more of their stash.

Of course, if I change the name to "Bart," all my meatspace friends -- non-comics-reading people -- will think I mean Simpson. Meh.

Call it Kid Flash.

Just to prove I'm not totally out of synch with the rest of you, I had this same thought.

I still think that Robin #127 shows evidence that Willingham is starting to round a corner in his approach. I agree that up to this point, the storyline and characterization have been way off (I still find it an interesting decision that Tim's father went after Bruce with a gun once he found out that Tim was Robin. I wonder what would be considered a "normal" response of a parent in this situation, although it was way out of character for Tim's father. I liked how in this issue Tim is still shown as resourceful and quick-thinking. I think that Tim has dialed back his "psychotic-ness" (for lack of a better term) as a way of keeping his word to his father. I'm sure it won't last. I guess the main thing I liked about this issue is that I'm starting to see the underpinnings of the upcoming "War Games" event, so it's like trying to solve a mystery with just a few clues.

I wouldn't characterize the issue as great or anything, but I think it was an improvement over what came before.

On a different note, did anybody pick up the Ex Machina or Challengers of the Unknown debuts last week?
