It actually identifies him as Dr. Mid-Nite in the text. Of course the name means nothing to me, so it didn't help.
Dr. Mid-Nite is a member of the JSA. His real name is Pieter Cross, and he is following in the footsteps of the original "Golden Age" Dr. Mid-Nite, Charles McNidder (under whom Pieter had trained to be a surgeon). He can only see in a narrow spectrum of light, so he develped goggles to enhance his vision, especially in the dark. He did go on a few dates with Black Canary when she was a member of the JSA, but got dumped when Ollie came back from the grave.
[ETA - there's a really good overview of the JSA going on at Comics 101 that mentions Hooty the Owl (the "official mascot" of the JSA!)]
Braved the weather (we're in between t-storms) and picked up my comics. Almost forgot BoP because I thought they were on my pull list and they were not!!!
Picked up:
BoP#70
Robin #128
Outsiders #14
Batgirl #53 (I was waiting to buy it 'til I'd caught up on Robin.)
Batman "Nevermore"
Comic shop guy says that War Games will be in 3 issues of all Bat titles except GC. (He said that it was only one non-War Games numbered GC -- but I could swear that I saw at least two WG related GCs on the DC website.)
ComiCon! Gotta catch 'em all!
t sing to theme from pokemon
I could swear that I saw at least two WG related GCs on the DC website.)
On Comics Contiuum, the description for the Sept. and Oct. GCs is: "Get the real-life perspective on "War Games!" Writer Greg Rucka returns as the detectives of the G.C.P.D. grapple with a war that's too widespread for them to handle alone."
So it seems like they have to be WG-related.
How many different titles is War Games supposed to cover?
All the Bats titles: Detective Comics, Legends of the Dark Knight, Batman, Batgirl, Nightwing, Robin, Gotham Knights (I assume) and uh -- I think Catwoman and GC.
Gotham Central
is not "offically" part of the War Games storyline, but as noted there will be reflections on the events that happen elsewhere (heck, the next issue they still have to finish out the current arc).
Birds of Prey
is the only other Bat-title not part of the crossover, but you can be sure that Oracle will appear in the other books. (Can't say for sure about Dinah or Helena).
More good WIR discussion, well, at least, good points made in between willful obtuseness and sheer stupidity on the point of some posters. (IC2 spoilers inside)
I have to say, no matter how IC turns out, the discussions that have cropped up around it have been worth reading, even if they are making me question how I read things.
I would like to state for the record that the "P" in P.M. Marcontell does not stand for "Plei." It stands for PIMP. Or PUSHER.
Just guess which title I bought today, after flipping through it. C'mon. Just guess.
