I look more rad than Lutheranism

ita, he wasn't? Because in TT, it's pretty clear that they have the hots for each other.

So come, my friends, be not afraid/We are so lightly here/It is in love that we are made; In love we disappear

Ah. You've hit that part. While there was a short flirtation between Conner and Cass, Conner is now with Cassie, because he is a simple, simple clone, and this way he won't forget any names.

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

I give up. I wasn't sure what that kiss meant as she was leaving Smallville.

Back to my original understanding then, lickety split. But has anything happened in TT between WG & SB? I thought BG was it because at least there's been the hint of stuff.

Oh! About Bruce Wayne, Murderer -- I gather it was Cain all along, but how did that play out in the comics that aren't BG? How did they work out who did it, and what's the status of Bruce Wayne in the real world right now?

In TT, Kon and Cassie kiss on the roof of Titans Tower in the first 3 or 4 issues. Which is interrupted by Wonder Woman showing up and tossing Kon off the roof, precipitating a TT/JLA rumble that gets broken up by Nightwing. It's a beautiful thing.

ita: the Cassie and Conner stuff has roots in Young Justice. She's had a thing for him for ages, he's just been starting (this may be only in TT, I'd have to check, and Jilli has my TT at the moment) to like back that way recently.

Thank you. I have little to no memory for things that didn't happen ten years ago. Reading parallel comics serially doesn't much help with that little brain problem.

PMM -- I've just downloaded those, and they're next on my list to read. Which'll mean more confused questions in a couple days.

an overblown libretto and a sumptuous score/ could never contain the contradictions I adore

I spent yesterday morning at Barnes & Noble, reading their comic books. It was GREAT. Read a ton of Green Arrow-- Archer's Quest, and whatever trades came before and after it-- the first Outsiders trade, some Authority, and a couple of other things.

Meltzer needs to stop writing novels right now, and just write comics, damn it.

Okay, fine. So he's, y'know, a well-reviewed, well-selling novelist. I don't care. He's also shaping to be one of the best of all the current crop of comic writers.

He's a fanboy writer with whom the former doesn't overtake the latter at any point in time. (Which is my main issue with the Kevin Smith run on Arrow: gratuitous fanboyishness.)

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!

(Which is my main issue with the Kevin Smith run on Arrow: gratuitous fanboyishness.)

Heh. He gets pretty fanboyish toward the end of his Daredevil run too. But it's amusing.
