To understand what happened at the diner, we shall use Mr. Papaya! This is upsetting because he's the friendliest of fruits.

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.

I just ran out and got it. And my it's disturbing.

Victor, is that the good kind of disturbing?

this mess was yours / now your mess is mine

I'm just really hoping that Identity Crisis has a better payoff than 1602 did. I'm still disappointed by how that ended, Peter Parquah and Bruce Banner notwithstanding.

"Don't think of yourself as an organic pain collector racing towards oblivion." Dogbert to Dilbert

Which are your DC titles?

Oh dear. Let's see if I can come up with some orgainization in this list:

The Bat-titles (10):
Detective Comics
Batman
Batman: Legends of the Dark Knight
Batman: Gotham Knights
Robin
Nightwing
Birds of Prey
Batgirl
Catwoman
Batman Adventures

Supreman titles (4):
Action Comics
Adventures of Superman
Superman
Superman: Birthright - one issue left, but I'm sure I'll pick up the Lex Luthor: Man of Steel when it comes out.

Team Titles (6, soon to be 7):
JLA
JSA
JLA Adventures
Teen Titans
Outsiders
Superman/Batman
JLA: Elite

Other DC Universe characters (6):
Flash
Wonder Woman
Green Lantern
Green Arrow
Hawkman
Firestorm

Plus the Identity Crisis. DC:The New Frontier, and Caper mini-series, and Peter David's Fallen Angel series.

This doesn't include the Vertigo, Wildstorm, or ABC titles that I follow

All these titles, and I still have problems getting some books in on time. I fear for the viability of my comic book store.

It seems to me that your crack comic habit should be keeping them afloat.

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

Babs is sort of both before and after, in that they had a longterm flirtation (mostly one-sided on his part, but not entirely) before they ended up a couple.

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

Let's see...

Of those, I get:

  • Detective Comics
  • Batman
  • Batman: Legends of the Dark Knight
  • Batman: Gotham Knights
  • Robin
  • Nightwing
  • Birds of Prey
  • Batgirl
  • Catwoman

and Gotham Central

  • Adventures of Superman

  • Teen Titans
  • Outsiders
  • Flash
  • Green Lantern
  • Green Arrow

I'm adding Plastic Man, possibly adding Richard Dragon, and maybe adding Firestorm.

Add IC, and that's pretty much everything.

Remember, remember/the fifth of November/the Gunpowder Treason and Plot/I see no reason/Why Gunpowder Treason/Should ever be forgot.

I just ran out and got it. And my it's disturbing.

Heh. Best line of the book.

Is here: What makes you think it was the only time?

Commentary for people who have read it already: Finally, an explanation for the 'innocent' age of villains...

this mess was yours / now your mess is mine

I would need a second job to get that many titles every month.

I generally get:

Teen Titans
Robin
Identity Crisis
Nightwing (damn you, wee Plei!)
Identity Crisis
I'm giving Astounishing X-Men a shot
Ultimate Spidey

I think that's it. Though starting next month and September I'll be buying all the Bat titles for the crossover.

Remember, remember/the fifth of November/the Gunpowder Treason and Plot/I see no reason/Why Gunpowder Treason/Should ever be forgot.

Also read next week's Robin in the previews packs.

My one thought: They are really setting up Steph to be Jason Todded
