::snerk:: On the DC message boards, there's a thread titled "Identity Crisis -- who murdered Connor's hair?"

I'm easily amused today.

Ult. X-Men and Ult. Spiderman for me.

I'm trying to figure out how Bendis' head doesn't explode. I know he's working on several other comics beyond Ult Spidey and for the last few months, Ult Spidey's been coming out twice a month.

Heh. I don't even really know the character and my first reaction was "What is up with that haircut?"

Somewhat unrelated, it amazes me the GA manages to maintain his secret identity. I mean, yeah, Clark just uses a pair of glasses, but he's a fairly normal-looking, build aside, man. Oliver's beard and mustache is rather distinctive.

Well, Mia figured it out in about five seconds, so they have acknowledged that.

It doesn't help that GA has the sorriest excuse for a mask ever. It looks like he went only slightly overboard with the eyeliner.

"Identity Crisis -- who murdered Connor's hair?"

Connor's hair was fugly. Although not nearly as atrocious as Ultimate!Gambit's hair, which was a travesty, and could make the baby Jesus say, "...the fuck?!"

Yeah, after all the crying is over I want to see a bull session of JLA members laughing as someone says "... and can you believe he thought Guy Gardner was someone to imitate?"

Dude, I think I'm going to stop reading Robin, as much as it pains me to say that, because you know I have the great big Tim love.

But really. The writing is execrable, and the art in #132 is some of the worst art I've ever seen. I no longer give one damn about it.

And I *so* can't figure out the timeline of things in the DC-verse. Tim said that he buried Darla, Steph, and his dad, in just a matter of days. The fact that he mentioned his dead dad means that Robin #132 is taking place after IC #5/6. I just don't see how it all slots together, time-wise. War Games, even though it felt like YEARS, took place over (more or less) 2-3 days. Given that you really need to bury people relatively soon after they die, Darla and Steph had to have been buried, at most, within a week after War Games. So, given that week of leeway, did the whole of IC take place in that one week? Because that's when Tim's dad died.

Me confused. Make head hurt.

I loved that TT #18 used the IC mind-wipe knowledge -- though I'd guess that Zatanna is long gone, and Dark Raven probably does it.

I have a lot more to say about TT #18, but I need my comic in front of me. Though I really dig the implication that Bruce and Selina got married.

Steph, I'm ignoring Willingham's messed-up timeline (and, actually, Meltzer's messed up timeine too, even though it's better-written).

As far as I can tell, the chain of events is something like: Tim quits. Steph is Robin, Steph is fired, Tim is Robin, Steph is dead. Tim's dad has a couple of weeks to adjust to Tim being Robin, then he's dead too. Tim is traumatized 4-EVAH. The End.
