I picked up Batgirl, Batman, Nightwing, Robin and the Flash.
Do we know when the next Astounishing comes out? For some reason, I thought it might be out this week.
It's all about the coat.

According to the Upcoming Releases List, Astounishing #8 has been pused back to February 16, with #9 coming in on 3/23, and #10 pushed back to 4/20. I expect this will add to the likelyhood that Joss will not carry on past #12.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Batgirl made me bounce -- much fun.
Uncanny X-Men had some woman who looked like Storm, but sure didn't speak like her. Which irritates me, since it's my only avenue for classic Storm fix. Claremont knows better than this.
I skipped through Robin, and found it also irritating. I would like to read Tim's story, but not written that way, and the art (which didn't bother me when Batgirl was there) is just no go.

Right on! I'm going straight to the comic store after work.

It so pisses me off that I can't stand to read the comic in which my favorite character is the TITLE character.

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!

Yeah, it was good stuff. Though the Batgirlcave feels like some sort of J.J. Abrams reset.
Nightwing was pretty good too. Who was the guy at the end?
UXM was great. Very fun, very fast-moving. Who was the chick at the end?
Y delivered on the last issue's cliffhanger, which was nice. Props to Vaughan for his use of science-speak. There are still more unanswered questions, but the answered question came with a good sense of humor.

The chick at the end of UXM is Spiral -- in the real X-world she's a six armed hench-creature of Mojo -- he magicked up an earth chick and made her his.

Ah, thanks, ita. I think I remember her from one of the Marvel vs. Capcom arcade games.

Damn, I should have skimmed in the store -- I didn't see an answer to how Wonder Woman is getting around during her blindness. Flying with a cane? How's the bullet deflecting going?

So, wait. Wonder Woman is going to be blind, like, FOREVER? Weird.

Remember, remember/the fifth of November/the Gunpowder Treason and Plot/I see no reason/Why Gunpowder Treason/Should ever be forgot.
Steph, well no. Just probably until the NEXT MAJOR EVENT in the DC universe.
Or until the title changes writers. Many writers ignore what previous writers did...
