Buffy ,'Lessons'
Discussion of Buffy and Angel comics, books, and more. Please don't get into spoilery details in the first week of release.
I'm sure there'sstuff out there, but I couldn't point you to it.
Hrmph.
If I can't find it, I'll have to write it, which means I'll need Companion and FEH.
Someone MUST have written it. It MUST exist.
On the other hand, I've often speculated that there's really two DC Universes, and the one seen in the superhero books is actually all part of the Dreaming. Which would explain continuity a lot.
Applying this to the JLA makes my head hurt.

Not at all. How long's Batman been around? 10 years? 20 years? The reason it's inconsistent is that it's all a dream!
The only things set in the "real" world are the Vertigo stories like Books of Magic, Swamp Thing and Hellblazer, which is why sometimes they seem to live in the same world as Superman and the rest, and sometimes they don't!
Certainlymakes Lyta Hall's story more comprehensible.
That's a pretty sharp idea, and it might explain why the DC Comics website has Watchmen on their DC Universe Graphic Novels page.

Hee. I was specifically thinking of the Daniel-Dream guest spot making my head explode.
Okay, the new Powers #1...is it just starting over, or are they continuing where they left off?
I believe they are continuing where they left off. I think they're restarting the numbering because they are moving to Marvel.
Good. Just wanted to be sure.
It continues where it left off. Six months later, actually.
And damn. Holy fuck, he killed Kutter. And I mean, for new readers, he's just a random guy, but for those of us who've been reading from the beginning, he's a pretty prominent minor character! And he just offs him! Like that!
One of the distinct things about Powers is its use of bubble layout (to mirror the flow of actual dialogue) and panel structure. There's also the rampant cursing.
And at the end, dude, is that fucking Retro Girl? If so, it's way cool that the first issue of Volume I ended with her death, and the first issue of Volume II begins with her return. If not, I'm not sure what the hell's going on. Of course, that holds either way.

You never had a dream within a dream?
Got the new Ult. Spidey. Finally we're getting some actual character interaction and stuff, not just "must advance plot". But I can't believe they killed Gwen off like that. I mean it was pretty much a given that something like that was going to happen eventually, based on the original comics, but it still seemed rather abrupt. I suppose her original death was similarly sudden. Though at least there was some build-up in that one. It's especially disappointing after she and MJ finally have a good talk and I'm definitely going to miss the character.
