Matt, at least Ted Kord should be dropping by at any time to fill in.
Zoe: Preacher, don't the Bible have some pretty specific things to say about killing? Book: Quite specific. It is, however, somewhat fuzzier on the subject of kneecaps.

The lost sheep grow teeth, forsake their lambs, and lie with the lions.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
But maybe not to play more than a couple hands.
What? A girl can dream.

ita, in this particular case, I really, really hope your dream comes true.

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.
Ah. Thanks. Random dark-haired dude in a red mask didn't ring any bells for me. So how did he get un-blowed up ?
I'm with you, ita. Never read any Blue Beetle stuff before Countdown, but I was really sad to see him go.

The generation that could change the world is still looking for its car keys.
So, here's a challenge for us all: What graphic novel(s) would you give to someone to get them interested in comic if they are A) male B) Mormon C) noticably intelligent and D) carry around a Ramones lunchbox?
I'm thinking Watchmen, Fables, and possibly the Complete Baker Street.

Kalshane, on the un-blowed-up question, we have no clue yet. In fact, we don't know for sure that it really-o truly-o IS Jason Todd, because the same thing happened in "Hush" -- it seemed like Jason was back, but it turned out to be Clayface imitating him.
As for Blue Beetle -- I read a bunch of back issues of Birds of Prey over the weekend, and Blue Beetle is in a decent amount of them, and it made me suddenly get the Blue Beetle-love, and now I'm sad about him being offed.

If I only had a brain...

Sorry, my head just exploded.

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.
Gandalf, even though I just dissed Kyle Baker, I would recommend Why I Hate Saturn.

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?
I know nowt of the comics tastes of Mormons. For the other attributes, I'd add Transmet, Powers, Top Ten.

Gandalfe, what kind -- if any -- of comics knowledge has he picked up from TV and movies? Mostly, I mean just the general gist of Spider-Man, from the movies, etc.
Because if he has some basic knowledge, I utterly LOVE Marvels.
