Ple & Amych, poor Devin sounds beleaguered by stupid fans. You should drop her an email letting her know how #93 rocked your world.

I've spent the last six weeks trying to write one that doesn't sound like "FLAIL! GAH! MARRY ME!"

It's harder than it seems.

Unless you're Larry the Lobster...err...Jason Todd.

But Jason's still aroundish. I mean, when Batfam members are hallucinating, they tend to see him (see: Nightwing), and there was that Young Justice where he got killed again...

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?

there was that Young Justice where he got killed again...

And why bother coming back to life, when you can just get killed again without all the fuss and in-between steps?

PS. I have dibs on marrying Devin. You know this.

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

From the boards I've lurked around on, looks to me like she's getting plenty of support along with the hatefest. I wouldn't worry too much.

Hey, amych -- the editor on BoP is Joan Hilty! This pleases me.

Did she go to school with you two?

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

Just finished Ultimate Daredevil & Elektra -- intriguing. I don't think I could read all of the Ultimates -- I'd feel a little Dawson's Creeked. But it had a nice end that I thought maintained their canonical tension.

And the bonus bit in the back (Maria Lopez with the photographic memory thing) was also interesting.

Thrive to spite them

I read a lot of this today when I was at work and couldn't respond...

I love Batgirl, but my Batgirl love is mainly for Cass. I like Babs, but there's something about Cass that I just latched on to. Well, part of it is her costume.

Yesterday after work I went to get new comics! and then spent a frustrating search trying to find some back issues of The Titans...since I have the first four issues anyway. No such luck. But the back issues weren't in any kind of order so I was just randomly hunting. Found a large number of The New Titans. And they almost all of the 12 issue Scarlet Witch/Vision maxi series that I'll have no idea if I'll like but I know I liked those two at some point.

Instead of The Titans I ended up buying Wonder Woman back issues. Because I've started to read Wonder Woman. I kind of wanted to for a while but held off because I am trying to limit the number of titles I read, but the cover of the current issue just sucked me in.

I'm thinking about reading JLA: Elite, but that may just be because I've seen it advertised so much.

You always do this. We get tipsy, and you take advantage of my love of the scientific method.

I picked up Ultimate FF 2-8 tonight, and really enjoyed them. FF was never my favorite book, but this is a lot of fun.

Yeah, she was a couple of years ahead of us, and did a very good, not to mention dykey, comic strip for the school paper.

"Don't think of yourself as an organic pain collector racing towards oblivion." Dogbert to Dilbert

1. Joker Last Laugh. It didn't stick. Someone was there to revive Joker.

That someone was Batman himself, ironcially enough.

I'm thinking about reading JLA: Elite, but that may just be because I've seen it advertised so much.

I'll pick it up, because Green Arrow is in it. I'm not holding out great hopes that Kelly will write him well, though, since he didn't do too well in the "Obsidian Age" arc.
