Of bandage guy. Unless I am much mistaken.

I think that the guy they were meeting with was a minion of the Penguin.

There is backstory leading to War Games in DC and in GK. Some of which I have read and some I haven't. I'm not very clear on all the gangs myself.

Did you see the nifty holographic map of Gotham City that Babs made? It could help.

Matt: I don't read the JLA or JSA books (though I'm happy to take recommendations). Is Oracle as involved there as she is in the Batfamily's activities? I got the sense she was more of a resource for them than an active participant. That having been said, though, certainly her knowledge of everyone's secret identities makes her a real weak point for the organization! I'm sure Batman has a secret plan for taking her out, if need be. He's so reliable that way.

the JLA or JSA

JLA is sucking like a thing that sucks, and I've dropped it. Will tentatively start perusing it again when Kurt Busiek and Grant Morrison do their arcs.

Morrison, however, went a long way toward turning Oracle into a badass. His run on JLA with her as a member was excellent, and she really was running the damn team.

JSA is OK. Not as good as it's been, but will probably pick up a bit. Very little Oracle, though. I think, at most, Black Canary has spoken to her a couple times, and BC's not in it anymore.

What Morrison JLA TPBs should I read, Victor? Especially as an Oracle fan. (You mentioned a JLA story in which Bats gets split into two? I keep thinking about that, and would love to read it.)

Something Awful's Photoshop Phriday this week uses panels from Watchmen. It's rather amusing.

JLA 4: Strength in Numbers (The expansion of the team, including Oracle joining.)

JLA 5: Justice for All (Many strange tangents, including a bitchin Atom story. Various authors.)

JLA 6: World War II (Wherein shit hits fan. Much Morrisson epicness.)

JLA 7: Tower of Babel (Ra's Al Ghul takes down the League with Batman's traps. Pivotal for any Bat fan. Seriously. Mark Waid takes over writing chores.)

JLA 8: Divided We Fall (In the aftermath of Batman's "betrayal," the League is sharply divided. In some cases, literally. This was the one yopu were talking about.)

'K, show of hands time.

How many of you who are asking about bandage guy have *NOT* read the whole Hush storyline? (Parts 1 & 2) Because I'm sensing the confusion that comes with not having read it to conclusion.

Secondary whitefont to ANSWER the question, which will spoil you for what I asked in *my* question above, in the original white font. Bandage guy is Hush, who is Tommy Elliot.

Plei -- I haven't read any of Hush -- I mean, I intend to, but the tpb of vol. 1 isn't at the comic shop and I've got so much else to catch up on. . . .

Plei, I haven't read it at all, don't have a clue what it's about, and thus your whitefont doesn't help me figure out what's going on in War Games, though I guess I've just spoiled myself if I ever do read it. Oops.

I have the the first part of Hush but between reading other stuff and lj entries I already figured out who Hush was. But I'm still totally sucked in by the Hush story.
