Ooh, and? I think Slade has the Cosmic Treadmill.

Now the question is, is The younger Bart fast enough to use it, or will older Bart have to help?

Is it something to do with super-speed that let's Bart remember what others do not?

Sumi, it is believed that because Bart was raised in a VR environment, he processes information differently and thus remembers stuff that others do not

On the non-DC/Marvel front, is anyone else following Life During Wartime? I picked it up because, well, Gaiman, and Tim Hunter was ridiculously good-looking in the art. I'm kind of sucked in now, though I wish the writers would actually resolve something instead of just stringing the reader along for the first four issues. There's a lot I don't know about the continuity of the Books of Magic, and so I'm probably not getting a lot what I'm reading, but I do really like the artwork and the questions it raises.

Also, Kabuki--anyone else? I picked it up off-handedly, and now you can't get the damn thing in the store because they're all gone.

I'm going to try out Angeltown #1 (Vertigo) too, because the sketchy summary was interesting enough. Plus it's a forty-page issue with an art style I like.

Meet Nate Hollis — a Los Angeles-based private eye who's cool as a frozen cucumber and tougher than a box of nails. He's just landed the biggest — and possibly the last - case of his career. When a pro basketball star — L.A.s #1 baller — mysteriously disappears after his wife is found brutally murdered, it's up to Hollis to find him and either bring him to justice or prove his innocence. However, the smooth-talking P.I. soon learns he's not the only one looking for the infamous hoopster, and must navigate between a crooked District Attorney, a ruthless and resourceful gangster, and a deadly-but-beautiful bounty hunter.

In between dishing out beat-downs and juggling two amorous career women, the ghosts of Hollis's past begin to surface. Will Hollis find the missing baller before his deadly competitors do? And will clues from this case reveal leads to his lifelong mission — to find his father's murderer?

Also, Kabuki--anyone else?

I haven't read it, but Mack's Daredevil work is just eye-poppingly gorgeous.

SA -- if I were to send a large envelope to you in Wales (say, the size of a comic book), would it get to you? I was unsure from your LJ entry whether packages have to be sent to your Berea address, and if so, whether an 8.5 x 11 envelope counts as a package.

Life During Wartime is outside of the continuity of other Tim Hunter bboks, unless they pull something nifty out of thir hat. So, really, you don't need to know anything.

Yes it would! I just figured people would rather send it cheaper. But my parents and BF's have been sending me parcels, so it's all good.

No, I know. I just think they're making reference to certain Major Plot Points that I'm missing, stuff other people who'd read BoM would have picked up.

Not really. For the most part, the only characters that are shared are Tim (wildly different) Molly (doesn't even look the same!) Constantine (Who, really, aside from the being the big Mr. in Charge, is pretty much the same as he always is) and Zatanna (Who should not be blonde.)

I see no reference to earlier plotlines.
