I had lunch with Neil Gaiman.
Anyone else notice SA gets cooler by the minute?
Zoe: Yeah? Thought you'd get land crazy that long in port. Wash: Probably, but I've been sane a long while now, and change is good.

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

So come, my friends, be not afraid/We are so lightly here/It is in love that we are made; In love we disappear
Matt, have you read the JSA Redemption Lost storyline?
Steph, I don't normally 'ship Cass with non-Bruce males, but there was a vibe. I think it was the shirtless, musclebound and damaged Tim that did it.

Art Crawl!!!
OMG SA -- you just get cooler and cooler. I don't know what it is. . . I just sense it.

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?
Piffle. SA was infinitely cool to begin with. It just took this long for Neil to get onto her calendar.

Was that the one with the Spirit King?

It's the prelude to the new GL storyline that came out this spring.
Of course, all I can remember about it at 9am is that Batman was cranky.

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!
Okay, I'm three issues into Fugitive, Volume 2, and may I just say, regarding Murderer and Fugitive:
This. Fucking. Rocks.
Every issue is good and accomplishes something important. I understand the Batgirl love (is Kelley Puckett male or female? because he/she writes a good Batgirl) and I still like Steph. I am loving all the characters (where can I read more about Sasha?), except for Bruce, who needs a good punch to the face. But damn. Has this aspect of his persona (practically treating it like a split personality ) been addressed before? As someone who's obsessed with identity issues, I'm really enjoying it. And God, I love how the whole Batfam's working together as a team to solve the mystery, and how they're asking the same questions I am at times, and how you feel the very same doubt they do as to Bruce's innocence.
I have many little questions to ask, but I'll save them for later. I have a feeling I'm going to have to go out and buy Volume 3 (maybe even AT FULL PRICE!...okay, I might use a Borders coupon) as soon as I can, because this story is just too damn good.

Bruce very often does need a good punch to the face, which in a way is just what I love about him t /issues

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Gah. I need to go out and buy Fugitive, I suspect. But I like Batman so much more when he's not the main focus of the story (I adore him in Batgirl, for instance, since he's viewed through her prism).
But I'm really intrigued by this particular plot.

I look more rad than Lutheranism
I still like Steph.
Thank you!
....wait. You mean vigilante!Steph.
Dang.

I think she hero-worships Batman more than Dick does, and that's really saying something.
