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've been working on a song about the difference between analogy and metaphor.

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?

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

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."

I really liked the issue and how Bendis is tying the DD universe back into the rest of events happening elsewhere. This kind of felt partially like Secret War, with the S.H.I.E.L.D stuff in it (since Bendis writes that title (and 1000 others, it seems)) that makes sense.
The run has been one full of twists, that's for sure. It's been very tough to predict what's going to happen in each issue, and Bendis really does seem to have a knack for the cliffhanger ending during an arc.
I agree with your assessment of Natasha. Smokin', for sure. Of course, her presence totally undermined that point I made that all of Matt's girlfriends have the life expectancy of a mayfly, so I was kind of peeved about the fact that she was on the cover. t /mememememe.
