Discussion of Buffy and Angel comics, books, and more. Please don't get into spoilery details in the first week of release.
Batgirl made me bounce -- much fun.
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.
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...
You'd think
Prometheus could lend a hand, what with the perpetually regenerating liver and all.
Hmmm. Exactly how did Diana stop being a goddess, anyway?
Batgirl kicked all kinds of ass this week.
Batman was fun, though if they're going where I think they're going, I suspect exploding heads in our future.
Nightwing Year One: to answer P-C's question
DEADMAN!!! SQUEE!!!! DEADMAN!!!!!!!!!!!!
And to ask one of my own:
in the current continuity timeline, would Boston Brand (Deadman) have been alive at this point, or is he already dead?
PC, why do you think the
cave at
the end of Batgirl is
reset-like?
Doesn't every superhero need a
lair?
It's like a
graduation present.
Just finished the Nightwing -- that was kinda cool. Certainly better than the one before.
Y Last Man was good, but way too quick.
New X-Men was nice and consistent.
X-23. I pegged why I was liking it -- she's
very Batgirl,
but now I know why I don't love it, because she's
Batgirl cum bad girl.
That's not what I'm looking for. I'll keep reading, though.
ita, it's not really that I think of it as a
reset,
but it feels
too easy. Like, shazam! Here's a lair so we can start Batgirl off. I know she needs it, and it's way cool, and I can't wait to see what happens now.
But Plei, I have no idea who that is, is the thing. Need history!
Just finished the Nightwing -- that was kinda cool. Certainly better than the one before.
Yeah, that was my thought too.
