I'm still reading Lucifer (which came out today) for completion's sake, but it more of a chore than an entertainment at this point.

Daredevil was good stuff. The use of flashbacks was a little better and easier to follow this time. Is Bont canon or a new character?
Powers was great. Did anyone else get the feeling the colorful superheroes staged the attack to get back in the public's good grace ?

All this time, I thought Hunter was a bitch. Turns out she was just hungry.
Does anyone know when Astonishing X-Men #7 will be available? This is the first title I've collected in years and I don't have monthly want lists or a regular dealer now.

Dude -- this week's Batman and Batgirl were every bit as good as last week's Robin sucked. Actually, considering that it was pretty much all exposition, all the time, Batman was far better than it had any right to be.
And Batgirl was way better than it was during War Games. New writer, isn't it?

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Steph, I haven't been tracking writers, but I loved almost all the Batgirl writing, and then War Games happened, and I wondered if it suffered from plotting by committee, or because she was running all over titles.
This week made me happy again.
For reasons completely beyond me, I have failed again to buy TT #18.

ita, Batgirl made me think of you. And, while I loves me some Timmay, I'm really not inclined to 'ship him with everyone who walks along, and yet....I thought there was a vibe between him and Cass. It was vibey.
Batman had a great scene between Onyx and Batman. You should read it.

Steph, I was wondering if I was seeing that too. In my heart, I've shipped her with Kon, but I really need to get over that. I made strides today.
I'll have to have a look at Batman when I finally get TT. Because I will.

It's so obviously just a H/C thang, on both sides, but this issue was written so well, that I'd like to see it play out.
This issue of Batman has a serious glitch -- the cover has Winick/Mahnke/Nguyen, but the inside "editorial box" on pg. 4 has Gabrych/Lee/Horton. I'd like to know which team was behind this issue, because they kicked ass, particularly, like I said, because it was all exposition, all the time, with a side of exposition and exposition sauce on top, and yet it really worked for me.
