Also got UFF #1 & 2. Dammit. I want to know what happens next.
Ultimate Fantastic Four? Because if it is, then I agree. It's quickly becoming one of my must reads.

To understand what happened at the diner, we shall use Mr. Papaya! This is upsetting because he's the friendliest of fruits.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."
From an APA letter:
For the most complete description of psychotic symptoms, we suggest that the Department make reference to the discussion of psychotic symptoms at the beginning of the "Schizophrenia and Other Psychotic Disorders" in DSM-IV-TR (p. 297). This section of the DSM-IV-TR lists psychotic symptoms as "delusions, hallucinations, disorganized speech, and disorganized behavior," as noted in the proposed VA rule, but also "catatonic behavior" which was not mentioned in the proposed rule. For completeness and consistency with accepted psychiatric terminology, we recommend that catatonic behavior be included as a psychotic symptom.
Batman: not hallucinating, not disorganized, not catatonic.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Ultimate Fantastic Four?
Yup.
And I've never read any FF that didn't cross over with the X-world. I know the story, because who doesn't (they like to re-explain in loving detail near the start of any mini-series crossover)? But not so much the people.
It's pretty seductive, plus Viktor has all the makings of a woobie for the demented.

I've been working on a song about the difference between analogy and metaphor.
Why should I read Starman?
I mean, I trust you guys. I just need to know about content so I know where it goes in the priority list.

I have a plan.
And I've never read any FF that didn't cross over with the X-world.
Oh, there's a good (old) one, not exactly a cross over with the X-world, but still involves them. It's the issue that introduces Gladiator. Anybody know more about that one?

Uh-huh. Had it back in the day. (And probably still do, albeit in storage.) Gladiator pretty much wipes the floor with them, IIRC.

"Don't think of yourself as an organic pain collector racing towards oblivion." Dogbert to Dilbert
Today's (partial) pullist for me -
Batgirl #53 - Batgirl/Robin team-up. Should be interesting.
Batman #629 - I've liked Winick's take on the Penguin and Bats, but there is something lacking in this storyline. I can't figure out what it is, though.
JLA #100 - A new team takes over to launch JL Elite in the anniversary edition. It's got to be better than the Claremont/Byrne run, right? Right?
Batman: Harley & Ivy #3 - finishes the fantastic Paul Dini mini-series - it may be the last thing he produces in the Animated style for a while.
Green Lantern #178 - holding on until Rebirth.
Sleeper Season 2, #1 - The 2 trades for the first 12 issues (Season 1) are out, and this series should get all the support there is. Written by Ed Brubaker and Sean Philips, it has a superhero operative (in the Wildstorm Universe) working undercover for one of the arch-villains, when the only one who knows he is an undercover agent falls into a coma. If you like shades of gray, this has it in spades.
Ultimate Fantastic Four #8 - this title is just behind Astonishing X-Men and Daredevil in my Marvel must-reads. I do hope the pace picks up in Ellis' run; I thought the opening arc by Bendis and Millar took too long.

The next story is called "The Pain of the Gods."
