Looks like I'll just be getting Uncanny X-Men and Detective Comics this week. After only three titles last week.
I guess I need to brace myself for the rest of October, it seems.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

GS: If you had to choose between kicking evil in the head or the behind, which would you choose, and why?
Minsc: I'm not sure I understand the question. I have two feet, do I not? You do not take a small plate when the feast of evil welcomes seconds.
Just Ultimate Spidey for me this week.
Was wondering why there was no JLU discussion this week, then I watched my tape and went "Oh." I ended up watching the episode even though I'd seen it before, though I confess I fast-forwarded through all of Superman's dreamscape scenes.

I like Supe's dreamscape scenes.
Did anyone else watch "The Batman"? It had "The Catwoman" in it.

I liked them during the original airing, but last night I was more in the mood to watch people pummel each other.

I did. It dampened my enthusiasm a bit. Wasn't horrible, but it was a pretty generic read on Catwoman ("Mreowww, sexual entrendre, purrrr"), whereas they spent more time reimagining the other villains and the Batverse.

Maybe they should have dispensed with the costume in favor of street clothes and drawn her like Ann-Margret?

So did anyone read anything this week? UXM is...weird. It's like they're all older, or something. Well, NSM Wolverine.
I'm not sure how I feel about the pace.
Legion/Titans made my head hurt. As for the suspense, yeah, sure, Kon's going to leave Tim who just came back to him. Sure. Not even in Elseworlds.
I don't like reading one War Games at a time. I need momentum to move the through.

this mess was yours / now your mess is mine
Titans/Legion confused the hell out of me, partly b/c I *so* don't get the conundrums of time-travel, and partly b/c I have no idea who all the Legion folks are, and I couldn't bring myself to care.
I did love that Raven said "ass," and I really loved the part where Bart went to see his mom. Made me a little sniffly, and I'm not ashamed to admit it.
As for Detective Comics -- War Games is just being dragged out, is what I think. I don't know how all of this will play out, but I really feel like War Games could have easily been done in 2 months rather than 3.

I found Teen Titans/Legion very confusing too. Possibly because in addition to having not the littlest bit of an idea as to who the Frell the various Legion people are -- I'm not sure who the TT folks are either.
I agree that it was very touching when Bart went to see his mom. . . when they were traveling backwards in time and saw Starfire and Nightwing snogging -- was that the near future, or the past? Or was that taunty tauntiness?
WarGames: It does seem as though things move very slowly. Also, no more Riddler? And why was he calling Ivy - Pam ? Is that her real name ?
