Don't think about connections too hard, though.
Always a safe bet.
Wash: Don't fall asleep now. Sleepiness is weakness of character. Ask anyone. You're acting captain. Know what happens you fall asleep now? Zoe: Jayne slits my throat, and takes over. Wash: That's right. Zoe: And we can't stop it.

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?

Thrive to spite them
Oh! I picked up Powers last week (?) and looked at it but I was kinda put off by the art work.
I went and got my comic books! YAY! I didn't pick up Daredevil because ... well there was a reason when I was at the store but now I can't remember. I'll go back tomorrow and check out Powers. Also I need to see if they actually ordered Batman Fugitive for me.

I know my own heart and understand my fellow man. But I am made unlike anyone I have ever met. I dare to say I am like no one in the whole world. - Anne Lister
Interesting. I love the art in Powers. That's what first drew me to it. I think Oeming is great.

Today's haul:
- Outsiders 14
- BoP 70
- Flash 212 (yes, Plei, you made me do it)
- GK 55
Read Robin 128 in the store -- still not into it enough to buy it, although I did enjoy the Batgirl/Tim scene. Just because there was one. And there should be more. Of such scenes, and of both their adorable wee psycho-selves .
Reviews of the others TK, after I've read 'em.

Flash 212 (yes, Plei, you made me do it)
Whee!
Sorry I didn't have 210 and 211 for you. I just have hard copies of those. (They're worth getting for the Dick/Wally interaction.)
(In the platonic sense, of course.)

Quickie review no. 1: GK 55: Holy crap. Holy everlovin' FREAKing crap. Off to reread, well, all sorts of things. People, if you aren't reading this title, you should be. That is all.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."
Editorial Note Hayden
His Watchmen mini-series for DC and, later, his Miracleman series for the independent Eclipse Comics company, seemed, at first, to represent the kind of quantum leap that Stan Lee had made.
Miracleman (as Marvelman) precedes Watchmen. A significant distinction since Marvelman was really Moore's very first run at superhero comics. Miracleman was reprinted by Eclipse in America after the Watchmen came out. But it came out originally in England before Watchmen.

Amych, would you suggest a re-read first of 50-54?

Yep. The HSQ is new this issue, but as it's the last of a mighty plotty and complex arc, it's definitely worth a look back. (There's other rereading to be done too, but it'll be clear what that is after you've read.)

this mess was yours / now your mess is mine
BoP assessment: I am slightly confused (on backstory, not the Huntress plot) yet intrigued.
Robin #128: meh.
