Is S.H.I.E.L.D. pretty much Homeland Security?

And re: Astounishing - Jean -- whoa -- why is her body in the hands of the alien and the geneticist? Did I MISS how that happened?

Re: Bats, I can see that the Bats story totally leads into War Games, but that was an unsatisfactory ending and are they really indicating the return of an actual grown up Jason?

Sumi, best bet is they're graverobbers.

Just read last week's Robin. I know the writing is looked down upon, but I don't know Steph at all, and only a little Tim. HATE the way Batman and Batgirl are written, though.

Justice League Unlimited Update. Spoilery, natch. Has images from the first ep, and links to a synopsis of the season's episodes.

t doing dance of new Powers...

ION, they've optioned Courtney Crumrin. This could either be great or shitty...

Batgirl: Babs was once a Head Librarian?

Sumi: yep.

Grr.

Stupid parade.

Not picking up my pulls until tomorrow, 'cause store closing early today on account of parade. Now I want 'em.

Sumi, yep. She's the world's first Information Science superhero!

I have a semantics question -- when did DC adopt "metahuman" to distinguish between superpowered superheroes/villains and run-o-the-mill costumed wackos? I mean, superhero pretty much doesn't imply any intrinsic physiological differences, right?

I've been wondering the same thing.

(I mean they use "meta-human" in the tv show "Birds of Prey" -- but who took that seriously?)

- ita -- how do I "quick-edit" something in the middle of a sentence? That's what I don't get.
