'The Message'
Discussion of Buffy and Angel comics, books, and more. Please don't get into spoilery details in the first week of release.
I take it AU is alternate universe. They should print disclaimers on the backs of these things, because I almost threw the book across the room after what they did to poor Dick.
My 5 year old saw me reading it and recognized the emblem (she's a huge batman fan.) She couldn't understand that there was batman for kids, and then batman for grownups, and no, she couldn't read daddy's book. What is the appropriate age to shatter a child's heroes?

Does the Supe/WW kid exist?
The Talia/Bruce kid is AU, isn't it?
Yeah, that's out of continuity.
Wolfram: nope.
(Famous Stories That Are Elseworlds: DKR, DK2, Kingdom Come...)
I couldn't get through the first part.

Yeah, that's out of continuity.

Vanished into Hypertime, I believe. As did the aforementioned Full Circle.
Comics continuity makes my head explode.

There's always how Jilli and I deal with it: "Hand-wavy hand-wavy Hypertime."
It makes the pain go away.

The problem seems to me that they try to fit stuff from days past into current continuity, when sometimes they should just let it go. That, and the seeming need to do all the resets in current continuity as well.
