I noticed that switch, -t, and it confused me.

As for IC#3 and people in peril: how many men (I don't for a second believe Jimmy's in jeopardy unless his is the big civilian death) are in vulnerable positions, and how many women?

IC thoughts :

I got confused at first when it switched to what looked like a headline. And then there were characters and back story I wasn't familiar with. Some of the mind wipe stuff made sense....protecting people's identites and such.

When Jimmy Olsen was talking about possible future victims I got my hopes up. When I saw .... what's her name (so blanking) I thought "aw christ!" Because here we go again with a woman being a victim. But I'm hoping there's someway she can get free. I wasn't even that bothered by Sue being the first victim. Except I thought the pregnancy thing was over the top.

Why can't a guy...son, brother, father, be in jeapordy.

I'm thinking of not getting Green Arrow anymore. I like Ollie, but I really can't stand the artwork and it's driving me nuts. And maybe Gotham Central, which I like because it's rather Homicide like but I can't keep the characters straight and keep having to go back and read back issues. Normally I don't mind reading back issues, but I keep having to do that every time a new issue comes out and I don't have to do that with the others.

But askye, who are those? I'm really curious to know who's at risk.

They also seem to be spending an inordinate amount of time on Robin. If they're going back after known JLA associates, maybe Snapper Carr is on the list.

Oh, I think timewise that IC is set just a bit ahead of "War Games" at this point.

It seems like it has to be, if only for the Tim Drake factor.

I noticed the switch in IC, and I have no idea what that means. Is it possible that Zatana set Dr. Light up with a false memory, in case the mind wipe eventually wore off? Though it's not really "false," per se, because all the characters are the same as the real incident -- except Bats was added in. So that's probably not what happened.

I immediately got a vibe of Jimmy-Olsen-is-going-to-buy-it when I read that scene. But I *also* think that Tim Drake's dad is going to die, too. Though it's possible that's a vibe I'm getting from "War Games," and if IC is set *after* "War Games" (which we don't really know yet), then that shoots another of my theories to hell.

Nightwing just broke my heart, mang. Dick is almost decompensated worse than he was right after Tarantula shot Blockbuster. It's those first 4 pages in particular that make me think that. He's gone all fanboy over Batman, and he's so deperate for Bruce to tell him that everything is going to be okay, that his involvement in Blockbuster's death isn't going to take away Bruce's approval -- and love. It's like he's reverted back to childhood, emotionally.

And I loved how Batman immediately knew something was wrong with Dick, the minute Dick showed up, before they had even conversed.

Teen Titans -- what can I say? The Beast Boy plot isn't terribly thrilling, but I'm intrigued by what's being set up with Raven. And then Conner in Tim's bedroom -- I let out a fangirly squee when I saw that. Theirloveissopure.

I have to admit some of the inequity may be that most of the heroine's nearest-and-dearest are superheroes themselves. Does Dinah even know anyone who's not involved in crimefighting? As for Zatanna, her family is dead, her manager Jeff Sloane is probably too obscure a character to imperil, and I laugh at the thought of a super-villain tracking John Constantine down for a revenge plot.

Matt, I laugh at the thought of a super-villain tracking John Constantine down for a revenge plot.

I thinkthat would end with one seriously fucked up serial killer. I mean, moreso.

Re the same whitefont that Victor whitefonted?

Want. Now.

ita --

I'm curious to see where the serial killer storyline goes and I hope the conversation that Jimmy Olsen had was set up for a guy to get killed, but immediately afterward what's her name was attacked. And I just don't want to see future attacks to be "wife, ex wife, girlfriend, etc". I'm really hoping a guy will kick it.

I want more TIM! Seriously. I saw Robin Unmasked at the store but that has to wait. I'll drool over it when I go back to get Legends of the Dark Knight today. I like Tim and I want him back and a good writer for Robin and something interesting to happen with Stephanie.

Want. Now.

Oh, me too now that I've thought of it. The idea of all those super heroes trying to catch the killer to no avail, and the guy anonymously ending up the way Constantine's enemies usually do after targeting a "helpless ex-boyfriend" is just priceless .
