Nah, CB's pretty much a scoundrel. He's never arm an opponent.

In that case, whoever the murderer is, they wanted to kill Captain Boomerang as well as those close to superheroes.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but weren't both of the two suspects so far, Dr. Light and Slipknot, members of the Suicide Squad? If so, the killer seems to be trying to frame former members for the murders for some reason and now apparently stepped it up a notch, possibly because the heroes ended up not going medival on those he'd framed. So instead he creates a situation where both Captain Boomerang and Tim's dad are likely to be killed.

Re: IC it felt like CB was set up to think what he was doing was on the side of not bad, but I'll have to re-read. Ack! TIM! Excuse me. Ahem. I also want to re-read the last issue of Flash.

Meanwhile, Teen Titans: Holy dystopia, Batman! I enjoyed this much more than I did the last two parts of the storyline, which were sort of meh to me. Johns continues to write a good Tim, which makes me wish he was the writer on the Robin title instead of That Arrogant Assburger.

I'm so very not caught up on things right now. I hadn't been to the comic book store in nearly a month, so my box was rather full. Added Manhunter to my pulls, but forgot to add JSA. Again. I've been meaning to add JSA for weeks now.

In Teen Titans, when Tim asked "What would make me become Batman?" all I could think was "Buddy, you need to read Identity Crisis!"

Anyway, I love the Teen Titans Wishverse in this issue. So damned much.

I absolutely had to make time to read a couple of comics last night after seeing the cover of IC#5. Which I may have to, uh, frame. Due to Teen Titans and IC, my brain is happily percolating on TIMMAY and his angst, and what this means for him in the future. Where will he live? Is his step-mother Dana still in the picture? We've seen her in Robin, but I'm pretty sure she's been absent from IC completely -- which I hope is indicative of something important rather than just an oversight, considering that IC is all about family. Tim has lived with Bruce before, and he could become the latest in a line of dark-haired, blue-eyed, orphaned wards who suffer from persistent and suspicious injuries. They could be grim and efficient together. The mere idea of that much dysfunction in one cave pleases me greatly.

What else? Oh, yeah -- I can only hope that, since IC is supposed to be post-War Games (right?) that the Arrogant Assburger is off the Robin title by then. I want someone competent handling the aftermath of this.

Mmff. Anyway. Brain still spinny. Need more coffee. Will no doubt be re-reading lots of Bat-comics this weekend to pull together thoughts that are a little deeper than OMGILUVTIMMAY4EVAH!!!1!

Oh, thank god. I was afraid I was the only Obsesso Girl who had that thought.

I thought that too -- so beautiful.

I was wondering what the time-line is for these various stories -- War Games pre-future TT, Identity Crisis post- War Games; post -Future TT?

Does that sound right?

I was talking about that with the totally cute geekboy who runs the new comic store by my house (so cute! also a Husband of Reason fanboy). We actually tried to construct a timeline and then gave up.

That sounds about right to me, Sumi.

I was afraid I was the only Obsesso Girl who had that thought.

Oh, yes. But it must be noted than I am Obsesso Perv Girl.

They were out of Batgirl #57, so I had to put my name down at the counter. Comic Store Guy was ragging on me about not having a pull. (I'm lazy and busy and I didn't want to put together a list because then I would have to admit the true extent of my crackwhore obsession, but I'll bring in a list next week, because Batgirl keeps selling out, and I Must Have It, My Precious.) Then Comic Store Guy declared his love for me because I'd brought up my stack of new issues already sorted by price.

I wonder what would have happened if I'd busted out my Comic Book Legal Defense Fund card?

A proposal?
