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

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.

with a gleam in my eye, and an almost airtight alibi
Did she go to school with you two?
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.

1. Joker Last Laugh. It didn't stick. Someone was there to revive Joker.
That someone was Batman himself, ironcially enough.

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.

I'd say cut out the middle step and just hit yourself in the head with a hammer instead. It's HAHRRIBLE!

Remember, remember/the fifth of November/the Gunpowder Treason and Plot/I see no reason/Why Gunpowder Treason/Should ever be forgot.
Well, the issue they were featured in JLA was horrible. The actual series hasn't started yet, so we can't judge..
No, it will be horrible.

GS: If you had to choose between kicking evil in the head or the behind, which would you choose, and why?
Minsc: I'm not sure I understand the question. I have two feet, do I not? You do not take a small plate when the feast of evil welcomes seconds.
You know I was thinking about Batman: Beyond the other day while mowing the lawn. It was mentioned here that it had divorced itself from canon by having Barbara Gordon as a non-disabled-by-Joker police comissioner. I was thinking that that doesn't have to be the case because 1) I don't recall seeing anyone confined to a wheelchair or similar device on the show. 2) During a visit to the Batcave, Babs looks at her old costume and remarks to Bruce "I see you sewed up the bullet holes." 3) There is a Kraven-style "villain" who had his spine cybernetically replaced after it was severed by a panther. It's possible that Barbara Gordon was shot by the Joker and then surgically healed at some point during the 30 or so years between the canon timeline and BB.
I realize this really doesn't amount to anything. I just thought it was interesting.
