Art Crawl!!!

I keep thinking that I should pick up the Green Lantern and Flash titles but I've got too much I'm already picking up.

NW - I totally agree that it was rushed. The end was very WTF? to me -- and the cover UGLEE. I didn't really look at it 'til I was done reading (for which I am grateful) since it is pretty much a giveaway, isn't it?

My unfamiliarity with JLA stuff leads me to not get as much out of IDC as I should be.

I've caught up on Robin and also read the most recent DC and I agree that we're looking at something very Jason Todd-like -- although, was the Joker specifically going after Jason? In the same manner that this Bug-Assassin Girl is? Or Szasz (sp?)? Also -- Darla=Bug-Assassin girl, right?

I also had continuity questions re: NW, Robin, Identity Crisis and also where the end of NW #95 fits in.

Re: end of NW #95 and time-frame

keeping in mind that these things aren't quite in sync, Batman's call is about what we haven't yet seen break loose in Gotham. It's not the start of War Games, but it's an indicator that the next issue of NW will be part of that arc.

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

Thanks, PMM. Way too many titles for me to keep my own track.

I noticed in the solicitations for this week, that Flash #212 is going to focus on the Mirror Master. Wasn't he on the satellite in Identity Crisis #2?

So, does Ultimate Reed Richards have sperm?

You always do this. We get tipsy, and you take advantage of my love of the scientific method.

Jeff, it looked like him, alright.

While peeking around to see if there were annotations out yet for IC#2, I found this cool site, with annotation and bibliography links.

Almost forgot to mention. When I was picking up IC #2, I noticed the special edition of Mystery in Space on the rack. I was never an Adam Strange fan, but I flipped through it just to see what was going on, and Ralph and a very much alive Sue Dibny are featured characters. Didn't buy the book, but it just seemed odd.

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

Funny, I'd have taken you for an Adam Strange fan--what with your love of LofSH and the straightahead sci-finess of the character.

In any case, these DC Comics Presents special editions are basically tributes to the late Julie Schwartz and his contributions to the silver age, so they're basically out of continuity.

But it was nice to see Ralph and Sue out for one last waltz, wasn't it?

Never took. Speaking of the Legion, this month's issue is actually pretty good. New writer, new (far better) artist, a little femslash...
