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...

I look more rad than Lutheranism

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

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

Victor, is that the good kind of disturbing?

Oh yes. And CaBil's correct, that IS the best--and most chilling--line.

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

and Gotham Central

Oops! I knew I missed one. I've been reading that from #1. (Of course, anything written by Rucka is something I will buy, and Brubaker is almost in that category).

Ignoring the white font until I pick up my copy of IC tonight.

On the hallelujah! front, the news is in that Kurt Busiek will take over JLA in October. After the recent drek (and I'm not holding out great hope in Chuck Austen's run), this is welcome news.

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

IC #2 was *good*.

Also picked up The Pulse #4, which everyone should be reading. Go. Now. And I got Y: The Last Man #24 and Outsiders #13, both very good. There were a bunch more that I wanted but... money. That thing I don't have.

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

What's the premise of the upcoming Batcrossover?

Marked for when I have my copy.

Bil: re:, your whitefont on Robin they are--did you read Detective Comics last week? Really obvious in there.

All hell breaks loose in Gotham, bad things happen?
