with a gleam in my eye, and an almost airtight alibi

Uh, that's fairly extensively covered in NML itself. Go back to his arrival at the clocktower near the end of NML -- it's a two or three issue sub-storyline.

ETA: Oh, do you mean does NML come after Nightwing/Huntress ? Because yes, it does. And I think those events are also referred to obliquely in the storyline I'm talking about.

We need a new spoiler policy. Spoiler-protecting stuff written in the 20th century feels silly to me.

I think I'm going to buy the Batgirl trades too.

Batgirl kicks ass, both literally and metaphorically. I recommend them, but I also have an insane love for Cass, so...

I have read the first three Powers trades, and now I have a raging crush on Detective Christian Walker. (I seem to have a weakness for good writing combined with a big, good-lookin', gruff detective guy who wears white button-down shirts with thin black ties and a shoulder holster. Oh, look, see this? This is a crush.)

Smart. Taciturn. Intimidating. Hmm. This sounds familiar...

Tomorrow, I'm picking up everything Plei's getting, plus:

  • Superman/Batman #11
  • Ultimate X-Men #49

Over 20 titles I'm following now. Dear GOD.

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

Since Polter's in the middle of the series, I figured it was polite and not hard.

Where does Nightwing/Babs come in his love life timeline? Before or after The Huntress?

I recommend them, but I also have an insane love for Cass, so...

Oh, I'm sold -- I read through about #50, most of them on torrent. Need to own.

So... if one wanted to check out the latest Superboy model -- as evidenced in Shrift's latest bit of fanfic over on LJ -- is there an easily obtainable series to do this with?

t facepalm

Teen Titans/Young Justice: Graduation Day and Teen Titans: A Kid's Game are both the most recent trade paperbacks. He's dorkier in Young Justice and Superboy, which are no longer running. (Some Young Justice is available in trade paperback, but I haven't seen any Superboy.)

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

(Some Young Justice is available in trade paperback, but I haven't seen any Superboy.)

I just read, um... 60+ issues.

Hee?

Probably good that it's not in trades. Unlike Bart, there's no real emotional grabby bits for me in the solo title.

Uh, that's fairly extensively covered in NML itself. Go back to his arrival at the clocktower near the end of NML -- it's a two or three issue sub-storyline.

Is that actually in the trade? I know it's part of NML, but I don't remember seeing it in the collected stuff. However, my brain at the moment is a complete mix of too much stuff.

Where does Nightwing/Babs come in his love life timeline? Before or after The Huntress?

After.

Oh, I'm sold -- I read through about #50, most of them on torrent. Need to own.

Cass is *neat*.

I think my brain oozed out my ears around the time of the Great Hypertime Saga in Superboy, as neat's the only word I can come up with for Cass.

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.

Huh. I didn't realize that Dylan Horrocks was the writer on Batgirl.

He wrote and drew the indy comic Hicksville, which is my favorite comic ever.

I look more rad than Lutheranism

Man, I'm failing to see how Batman, just by virtue of being Batman and not Bruce, hasn't suffered a break from reality.

I have to scan the panel in Batgirl: Year One where Alfred essentially calls Batman psychotic. Laughed my ass off.

Me neither. I flipped back, and it didn't happen in the last 3/5 of it. And he's not in the first 2, is he?

Is the next Astounishing X-Men next week then?

According to Marvel's website, it's due on July 28. It is on the end-of-the month schedule.

The Internet is buzzing with Identity Crisis spoilers, and yet, not a one of them reveals the particulars of the mystery. Which I'm happy about, mind--but man, am I antsy for the next issue.

Tell me about it. I think I've re-read #1 10 times, especially since the annotations came out. This is definitely first in the read column tonight.

Over 20 titles I'm following now. Dear GOD.

Piker. I following over that many DC titles alone. A big portion of my entertainment budget has gone over to comics in the last couple of years.
