I liked Astounishing 6, now that I finally read it. That's really all I have to say.
I also wanna know who the hell Emma was talking to.
Willow: It feels like we're going around in circles. Xander: Our circles are going around in circles. We got dizzy circles here.

So I just read IC#6, Nightwing #99, and Green Arrow #44, and my brain is basically running around, bumping into walls, and going, "Eeee!"

So come, my friends, be not afraid/We are so lightly here/It is in love that we are made; In love we disappear
I've read just IC#6 so far, and my brain is going MEEP real loud.

Art Crawl!!!
I hated the artwork in Nightwing this month.
I suppose we're getting the same artists next month?

I look more rad than Lutheranism
I hated the Nightwing art, too, as well as whoever drew Timmay in IC.
In NW, I loved Alfred's "Richard John Grayson! Get back into bed this instant!"
I have to think about IC for a while before I can formulate my thoughts.

You always do this. We get tipsy, and you take advantage of my love of the scientific method.
Another IC tidbit - the other obituary on the page of the Daily Planet with Jack Drake's is for a baker named Jon Dough.

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.
DX- Ouch.

Steph, that was the best part.
I am irked because Firestorm is a crossover this week with something I don't pull. Hrmph. Will have to send Paul on a mission of mercy tomorrow if he gets a break from working on the house (he has the day off).
JSA IC tie-in flowed into it well. If you're following IC, I suggest picking it up.
NW 99 I liked the same thing you liked, Steph. It has the potential to be interesting, but Grayson's better when she has more space to work with, so I expect this to be slightly choppy like most of her two-parters.
Gotham Central GC and BoP, neither of which had actual issues as part of War Games, have both done the best job of showing a post-War Games world. All the little character notes in GC were fabulous.
Green Arrow Winick was a touch in educator mode, which is I suppose is to be expected as it's an issue so close to his heart, though it weakens his storytelling through the first part. However, his characterizations were strong, especially in the second half, and I look forward to the next issue. Glad to see Connor brown again, amused at Connor being called WASPy, given that he's a mixed-race Buddhist and all that.
LotDK, no thoughts other than eh, why should I care? It's not grabbing me.
Christ, and I still have THREE books left to read.

"We are the Goon Squad and we're coming to town...Beep! Beep!" - David Bowie, "Fashion"
On IC#6, I think we're being faked out again - how could Ray have been strangling Jean and also be on the phone with her? Did he hire someone to do the stangling so he could rescue her? If so - LAME! If he strangled her and then went into the phone so he could come out of the phone - LAMER! Is there someone else who could have gotten into Sue's brain like Atom could?
