Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

In other news--Green Lantern: Reborn has me turning all shades of fanboy. I am giddy as a ferret in a laundry hamper.
I love that description.
Hmm. I should crawl into bed and read my pulls.

"We are the Goon Squad and we're coming to town...Beep! Beep!" - David Bowie, "Fashion"
Loved Astounishing as well.
Was fond of both "I like beer" and especially (probably not the exact quote) Kitty's "Why do you insist on saying things I can never un-hear?"
Heh.

GS: If you had to choose between kicking evil in the head or the behind, which would you choose, and why?
Minsc: I'm not sure I understand the question. I have two feet, do I not? You do not take a small plate when the feast of evil welcomes seconds.
Huh. You know, with IC done, I should probably pick up a new title. I liked what I've seen of the new TT, but I'm woefully behind. With suprnova dead I don't know where to find back issues (trying to order them through my local comic store hasn't worked in the past.) Any recommendations?
ETA: Yeah, I liked that one too, Frank. Obviously.

For physical copies of stuff that my store doesn't have, I go to eBay.
What do you read now?

Art Crawl!!!
Sigh. No comics for me this week.
But Martian Manhunter piece on the eonline site.
"Martian Manhunter is the Shemp of the Justice League."
Hee.

I had a bunch. Green Lantern Rebirth, which I agree with Victor on, by the way. Richard Dragon, which I am Too Stubborn to Drop. Manhunter, which I am fast falling madly in love with. Green Arrow, which was less preachy than I'd thought, but still mostly a set up issue for Mia's new role as Speedy--we need some Roy in there soon, because I want to see his reaction to her taking his old role. Catwoman: When In Rome, which had a beautiful cover but remains less exciting than it should be.
Oh, and Astonishing and The Authority. I think that's it.
Manhunter was the best of this week's for me in terms of moving the book along. It's really improving by leaps and bounds.

As I bang my head against the wall for not thinking of that...
What do you read now?
Just Ultimate Spiderman, Ultimate X-Men and Astonishing X-Men. (I started reading the Ultimate stuff because I liked the characters in question, but didn't want to deal with 5 billion different titles and 40 years of back story. And AXM because of Joss.) Was reading IC. Also reading Ultimate Nightmare, though the last couple issues haven't impressed me.
I just don't have the time or the finances to support a full-on comics habit, but I do enjoy reading a handful of titles every month.

What the hell is UP with Ultimate Nightmare? Ugh. But I'll finish it out, because I'm compulsive that way.

Birds of Prey is good, starting with Gail Simone's run. The standalone issue 68 is a good one to start with, then you can just sort of piece together the backstory at your leisure.
Teen Titans is also good, and the first two storylines are already out in trade, so you might be able to find them through a library.
JSA is wonderful, but involves a huge investment in backstory, so probably not the best title to pick up midstream.
