Tomorrow is the new Powers #1!

Dude! Rock! That should make my day a teeny bit better.

I'm not in my brain finding a single Batwiki that covers them all.

I'm indiscriminate enough to want one bigger than Bats (no disrespect to your monomania). There's a lot I'd love to stitch together.

And there's the X-Men.

Thanks for the recs. I always think of DKR as the one true Batman story, because it shook so much stuff loose. But I agree with your pick.

From earlier:

Argent and Damage.

Because trying to explain them was melting my brain.

Wow. Thanks for the info, victor. We are talking about some pretty minor-league characters involved in the whole deal with them. Zero hour probably doesn't help, either.

Better link for Damage.

Confusing, aren't they?

Tomorrow's (partial) pull-list:

Powers #1 - it's about time that it is out. Hopefully the increased promotion through Marvel will spread the word.

Birds of Prey #69 - New story-arc begins, and the title will ship every other week for the next 6 issues, so the action should really hop.

Detective #796 - Robin teams up with Batman to take on Zsasz, plus a backup story where Orpheus tries to take down Batman (probably for show and setting things up for "War Games"). Tim Sale cover.

Firestorm #3 - I'm intrigued by the opening issues, and I'm dying to see how Ronnie Raymond fits in.

Y, The Last Man #24 - Either this or Fables is the best Vertigo title published today, and I think it will stand up with the greats from the past ( Sandman, Preacher, Swamp Thing ).

I may also pick up the Star Wars: Clone Wars trade, because the shorts on the Cartoon Network kicked but. Maybe if books missing from last week don't appear again (my retailer blows hard - I wonder if the shop is in trouble).

If anyone is willing to lend me the first one I promise to take real good care of it.

askye, at the moment I own Preacher 1-5, and would be willing to lend 'em, as I do not have quite the obsessive relationship with the title as I do with Sandman and all things Bat. Profile address is good.

The conundrum, I think, will be figuring out how best to ship them, because I'm weird like that.

Oh, and by the way? Curse you all who recommended Powers, because after Who Killed Retro Girl, I want moremoremore.

Y, The Last Man #24 - Either this or Fables is the best Vertigo title published today, and I think it will stand up with the greats from the past ( Sandman, Preacher, Swamp Thing ).

I've really been meaning to get into that. But I do love Fables. A lot. Hey, wait, do you read 100 Bullets ? That's a pretty kickin' Vertigo title at times. Though I think it reads better in trades than issue-by-issue. I'm hoping, based on the end of #49, that #51 returns to all the conspiracy stuff I love so much.

Curse you all who recommended Powers, because after Who Killed Retro Girl, I want moremoremore.

Bwahahahaha! Do so, but don't be discouraged by the fact that Role-Play doesn't really measure up, cause the rest do. Actually, I think they alternate, cause Little Deaths isn't so hot either. I think my favorites besides that are Anarchy and Supergroup.

So, because I am lazy and do not want to write it, but DAMN, I want to read it...

Are there any essays out there that look at the arc of Daniel in Sandman as a reflection of the book's role in the DC Universe, and how, by the end, it was separate from it (despite Bats, Supes, and the Green Guy--oh, and Wesley--being in The Wake) in many ways, despite its birth/conception there?

I'm really explaining this poorly, considering it's an obvious notion.

If anyone can translate my brain to English, thanks.
