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.

To understand what happened at the diner, we shall use Mr. Papaya! This is upsetting because he's the friendliest of fruits.

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?
Re the same whitefont that Victor whitefonted?
Want. Now.

Thrive to spite them
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 .

this mess was yours / now your mess is mine
I want more TIM! Seriously.
askye, did you get TT #14? I'm such a total Timmay fangirl.

Oh, me too now that I've thought of it.
It's too bad this is such an event for DC (and leading into the big crossover), because that would be a sweet ending. It's not quite the kind that I'd expect them to pull for such a big, prestige series, though.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
I think there's a huge inequity in the 'verse -- I mean Snapper Carr needs to die. I won't cry. Not that I cried over this week's fridge-fluff. But due to what's gone before, years of it, there are an assload of chicks in line to buy it. Well, and Drake senior. And Alfred.

Art Crawl!!!
Hmm, who the heck was that woman who bought it in IC#3?
I spent too much money on comics!
Bought:
LofDK
NW
IC
TT - 13 & 14
Robin Unmasked
GC
Also added to my hold pile -- latest three Powers, DC 791 & 793. They're going to try to find DC 790 and 792. (War Games backstory), TT/Outsiders Secret Files thing. My hold pile is huge. My pull list didn't include LofDK, although, I could swear that I asked for it to be added.
Nothing good is going to happen NWwise very soon. Wonder when the shit will hit the fan?

You always do this. We get tipsy, and you take advantage of my love of the scientific method.
Sumi, it was the Atom's ex-wife.

Reading everything I grabbed for War Games, it becomes apparent that I prefer people's reactions to/interactions with Batman to his internal monologue. I like him talking about himself, I love other people dealing with him. Especially Batgirl. On that tip, Nightwing broke my heart too, Steph. The subtitles for that scene should have read "Dick crushes Bruce in an awkward hug, and Bruce strokes his head gently, not asking for any explanation. Yet."
