The Travel Channel is running a special on NYC landmarks used in Marvel comics this Sunday. More info here.

ita - did you read Nightwing vs. Deathstroke?

Because - Dick just pays him off. Perhaps that's what Bruce does too.

Because I happen to be home from work today, I re-read IC 2 & 3. And my suspicion that Drake Senior has a big bulls-eye on his back came from IC #3, not from "War Games." I think he's toast.

Is Captain Boomerang's son totally new? In other words, is the kid named Plot Device? I will be really irritated if the heretofore unknown kid was introduced just to be cannon fodder. There's no emotional investment in that.

Very interesting how the panel was drawn in IC #2, to leave enough space to insert Bats, without looking weird and gappy, like something was missing.

Perhaps that's what Bruce does too.

That would be no fun! I think...

I was just intrigued by the comment that Slade was the best strategist, especially coming from someone who knows Bats.

Captain Boomerang is a villain, yes?

Interesting observations in the whitefont, Tep.

Captain Boomerang is a villain, yes?

A-yup, although he (dubiously) worked the other side of the fence for awhile with the Sucide Squad. And Steph, to the best of my knowledge, the kid is new, but then, a lot of the villains aren't fully fleshed out with supporting characters and the like, and the only thing I know is that both sides are going to get hit before this is over. And I'd rather it be Capt. Boomerang's previously unknown son than, say Rose, Wilson, y'know?

I was just intrigued by the comment that Slade was the best strategist, especially coming from someone who knows Bats.

I think I might give him the props for tactician, but I think Batman does better in the way of overall strategy. To me, that includes qualities like leadership and being able to delegate and suit underlings to the tasks they're best suited for, neither of which strikes me as Slade's forte.

Note that I am also very, VERY skeptical of Slade being able to point his sword a certain way so that a man who can navigate while running at relativistic velocities will just impale himself on it obliviously. I think that sort of thing has been handled much better with Vandal Savage in the past, but the example shown is just ridiculous .

Matt, I think that was by far the most tenous proposition in a pretty slick setup. But it makes me wonder...when is the Flash ever surprised? Can he stop anywhere near as fast as he can start?

Steph, I agree with the big target sign you propose, although I hadn't considered the timing. I figure that Steph (other one, you know) and Dad will buy it, so Spoiler can bite it in War Games, and Mr. Drake is much better suited for an IC death. After all, we have obstacles to remove.

And neuroses to foster.

Right with you Matt, on both comments, but especially the second. As for what he did to GL, I'd like to see him try that crap on Hal Jordan.
