this mess was yours / now your mess is mine

All I can do is repeat: Willingham delenda est.

sumi, yup, Rose is Deathstroke's daughter. If you've been following TT, you may remember that in the present-day timeline, back around issue 10 or 11, there was a OMGWTF last page where she stabbed herself in the eye so that she could be just like Daddy. Fuuuuuuuucked up.

Heather Hudson of Alpha Flight too.

WHAT?!? Admittedly I'm far behind on Alpha Flight continuity, but back in the book's first year she was a secretary/office manager, and then spent years after that as the leader of a superhero team. When did she have time to go to med school and get her M.D.?

Art Crawl!!!

Teppy -- I don't think I've read that story. Is it one of the books collected in Family Lost?

I just bought A Kid's Game on Monday -- figured I would pick up Family Lost later on.

The generation that could change the world is still looking for its car keys.

Nothing here would lead one to believe that she was a doctor.

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

Yeah, I can state unequivocally that Heather Hudson was never a doctor. I think Shaman may have been, however. And Sasquatch was a PhD.

ETA: Yeah, I was right about Shaman.

Speaking of the Alpha Flight folks, whatever happened to Elizabeth Twoyoungmen?

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

the art in #132 is some of the worst art I've ever seen.

Agreed. Dear God.

Ex Machina was great as usual, and the last page put a smile on my face. Go Vaughan.

UXM was actually pretty sweet as well. Loved the teamups, although I'm sure I'd appreciate things more if I were familiar with the team dynamic. Who's the chick with the piercings? Really enjoyed the dialogue in this one; Vaughan really kept it light.

The Pulse had lots of 'splosions. Secret War tie-in.

Spider-Man India was cute. Nothing spectacular, but it's what you'd expect. It's Spider-Man. In India.

I also picked up some trades. Bruce Wayne: Murderer? and the first two volumes of Bruce Wayne: Fugitive. These are really good, right? They're full of Plei's favorite writers.

Is Knightfall worth checking out? It doesn't look nearly as psychologically complex/interesting as murdering and fugitiving, and I think Bane is dumb.

My weird fondness for Bane (entirely due to a recentish GK run), and Dick's post-Knightfall filling-in for Bruce aside (which is in it's own book, the OOP Prodigal), nope. It's pretty lame writing, and if you think Bane is dumb, just wait until you get a load of Jean-Paul Valley.

Murder/Fugitive, on the other hand, kicks all kinds of ass.

I was pretty sure. Should I wait to start Fugitive until I have the third volume? Are the volumes divided well? I don't really know what kind of question I'm asking, since whatever your answer, I'll probably be anal and not want to finish the second volume until I have the third volume in hand cause why? Maybe I'll read very very slowly.

an overblown libretto and a sumptuous score/ could never contain the contradictions I adore

P-C, what happened in Pulse #5? I missed it.
