Ah, so that is what the back of the book means by the "future Titans" -- do we think this is going to be permanent, or just an arc? And what does it say about any possible future for a Babs/Dick relationship if he is apparently going to get back together with Kory.

(See how focused I am?)

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

I don't want Dick back with Kory -- it was nice while it lasted, but let's move on. However, given the last panel of Outsiders, who knows?

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

Picked up "Starman: Grand Guiginol" yesterday, and although I'm not quite done, I dare say "Starman" may well have become my favorite comic book story ever.

In the last GL we see Kyle going off into space -- is that it? Is this just so that they can do the Hal Jordan rebirth thing? Or are we unlikely to see Kyle in GL for the foreseeable future?

Also, on the Whedonesque lj I read that they are still shopping the Animated Buffy around and that Showtime is mentioned and something about dvds. (Whedonesque linked to Moviehole which got it's info from that David Fury post on the Bronze Beta.)

Sumi, Kyle is set to be in Green Lantern: Rebirth.

I think you and Ple are in agreement on this.

I look more rad than Lutheranism

In watching the presidential debates tonight, I gotta say:

I like Lex Luthor as president more and more.

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!

Is there any real difference between Morph's powers and Mystique's? Have there been any fun Morph vs. Mystique fights?

Looking up Mr. Sinister on wikipedia caused lots of clicks on names like Stryfe, Madelyne Pryor, and Legacy virus. Man, that shit is crazy. You introduce time travel, and you can do just about anything, huh?

So it says Colossus needed to die in order for the cure to work. I guess his body needed to manufacture antibodies or some such thing, but I'm not seeing why he had to die. It says Beast wanted the cure to enter the atmosphere, but dude. If he disintegrates, it'll enter that several hundred cubic inches of atmosphere and that's it. How did it end up curing everyone?

Also, I didn't realize Cable's entire purpose in life was to kill Apocalypse. How amusing.

"When I look at people that I would like to feel have been a mentor or an inspiring kind of archetype of what I'd love to see my career eventually be mentioned as a footnote for in the same paragraph, it would be, like, Bowie." ~Trent Reznor

Morph's power allows him to assume any shape; so far Mystique can only assume human forms. Advantage: Morph, I would say, except Mystique is older and much more ruthless, so I wouldn't turn my back on her.

I have the issue in which Colossus sacrificed himself, Uncanny #390. What spreads the cure into the atmosphere is the energy discharge caused by the activation of his mutant power (he releases a small but apparently volatile quantity of energy when he changes to steel form). The combination of some innate quality of the cure and the energy of a mutant power activation forced the cure out into the world. Sure, the science is a little iffy, but if you're going to allow that a man can change his skin into steel (which is a man-made alloy and occurs nowhere in nature) then suspension of disbelief kind of demands you cede the floor to Hank McCoy.
