Piffle. SA was infinitely cool to begin with. It just took this long for Neil to get onto her calendar.

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?

Matt, have you read the JSA Redemption Lost storyline?
Was that the one with the Spirit King?

So come, my friends, be not afraid/We are so lightly here/It is in love that we are made; In love we disappear
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.

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.

I like you both!

I love how she recognizes Bruce as Batman from his eyes. It was such a gorgeous moment.

He's pretty damned close to her totality, isn't he? She traded out her father for a kindler, gentler taskmaster. And when Bats is a kinder version of anyone, you know you're handling some damaged goods. I mean, she likes Barbara well enough, but she doesn't really get mad at Batman the way she can get mad with other people.
Love her!
I've finally ordered all the Batgirl TPBs. I've read the torrents, and I've been collecting myself since the mid 40s, but I need to own as much as possible. Torrented comics are to me what Napster is to audiophiles -- I also need to get Y and Ex in hardcopy.

I've re-read the current issue of Batgirl about 50 times, and I have something in my mind that's trying to become cogent, about how Cass and Tim are, put together, the ideal aspects of Batman (Cass, for her fighting skillz and Tim for his freaky obsessive detective skillz).
