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.)
I'll nurse you back to health. I'll wear the nurse outfit!

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

Huh. I will do so, then.
I can think of at least two things that might be the other re-reads.
You know, I like it when a storyline does that.

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!
Oh! I picked up Powers last week (?) and looked at it but I was kinda put off by the art work.
Like Gloomcookie, I like the art style too. I mean, come on: Christian looks exactly like Bruce from the Batman animated series.
From hayden's link:
One of the most outstanding and noteworthy characteristics of Powers during its finest moments is its rapid-fire and modern-noir dialogue, an aspect Bendis happily admits he cribbed wholesale from the TV drama “Homicide: Life on the Streets.”
Heh. Someone needs to tell Erika to read Powers.

Thrive to spite them
I only have issues 54 and 53 of GK -- so I'll need to get the other two.
One reason I didn't get Daredevil (I remember now) is that it looked like I would need the past 2 issues or so to understand what is going on in the current issue.

The Previously gives you a pretty good rundown of what's going on, and officially, it's the second in the latest arc, so only last month's issue is "necessary." And besides, there's me and Jeff.
