Hey, PMM -- Spiderwoman's in New Avengers, huh? You reading?
Yep. It's on my pull.
(Which I probably won't get to pick up until the weekend at this rate.)
I swear, one of these times, you're gonna wake up in a coma.

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

Here's a different preview of Countdown to Infinite Crisis -- it's 10 different pages from the ones linked upthread.
I'm not even familiar with some of these characters, and yet it's clear to me that Blue Beetle/Booster Gold = OTP. I mean, it only took one page to make that clear to me.

I managed to thoroughly, THOROUGHLY spoil myself for Countdown to Infinite Crisis. Because I couldn't. not. click.
It sounds like it's really well done, despite the exceedingly silly title.
Steph: yes, OTP of long standing.

You should read the latest issue of Justice League Classified for Sue's threat to them alone, Steph.

To understand what happened at the diner, we shall use Mr. Papaya! This is upsetting because he's the friendliest of fruits.
Spoiled for Countdown to we've run out of names, and while I'm intrigued and suspect I'll enjoy it a lot, I can now totally see why Keith Giffen quit DC.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
I don't know enough about Giffen, victor. Why did he leave?

The lost sheep grow teeth, forsake their lambs, and lie with the lions.
The Booster Gold/Blue Beetle stuff is making me very happy.

Because a lot of the characters DC seems to be shredding in its current direction are the ones from his mostly-funny take on the JLA from the '80s, which he'd ressurected in "I Can't Believe It's Not the Justic League" and such. With Sue Dibny and Blue Beetle dead, that's two of the primary characters he uses. Kind of makes it hard for him to put out laugh-riot stories when all his protaganists are either dead or reeling from said deaths.

Was that from the pages Steph linked to, Victor? Although I'm paranoid that the fact BB is all over the pages means he's going to buy it, I haven't seen it confirmed.
