I'm in love with the Adventures of Barry Ween Boy Genius now as a result of Free Comics Day.

I'll probably continue to pick up the Ballad of Sleeping Beauty (though I find the writing in #1 to be uneven, the fact that the second half was actually pretty good will have me picking up #2).

Oh, and I'm now down to about 15-20 issues of Impulse between me and the complete run. And have two more Starman trades.

My pusher loves that title.

Underworld didn't actually order any free comics, unfortunately, but they offered ye olde Bats' 10-cent adventure, which kicked off Bruce Wayne: Murderer? I liked how the "vintage Bruce Wayne move" for dumping Vesper was taken, if I recall correctly, right out of Batman: Year One.

So, I assume Sasha is a Batgirl? How many are there? Babs was the first, and the recent one is Cassandra, right? And how did Jason Todd die?

Hey, ita, I was poking through old Daredevil trades, and I realized that you, so fascinated by Batman's "psychosis," would really love how fucked up Matt Murdock is. Bendis' run begins with the fourth trade, Underboss. I think you'll find Matt and Bruce have similar issues with regards to being masked vigilantes. The most recent issue (no pun intended) begins a new storyline which reinvigorated my love for the title, so it might hook you enough to want to go back and read the earlier trades.

I've not gotten regularly addicted to Daredevil, P-C, but I do appreciate the character a great deal. I explore it periodically in trades. Maybe I'll give the current series a shot.

There have only been two Batgirls--Barbara Gordon and Cassandra. Sasha was Bruce Wayne's body guard, of sorts, but I don't know the whole story.

The Joker beat Jason Todd to death with a crowbar because the fans told him to.

This actually sounds like a perfectly logical motivation in Joker-ville.

By something like 72 votes after it was all tallied up. Just celebrated free comic book day by going out and buying comics... hmmm. Anyway, I picked up Switched, a Joker-centric TBP that just nearly drove me crazy with love. Anybody else read it?

There were actually 3 Batgirls -- after Babs and before Cassandra, during No Man's Land Huntress was Batgirl for a while.

That's Judd Winick, isn't it?

I thought this might amuse people.

Falco123: I wondered if emo kids would like Spiderman 2
Falco123: And then I thought, "Yeah."
Spectral Bovine: Spidey is the emo superhero.
Spectral Bovine: He's a superhemo.

That's not fair! He isn't vegan. Or straightedge. Or insufferably superior about either.

Also, he has a good haircut, and I have yet to see him try to out-scene anyone.
