Anne, we're having a Crisis again soon, so you'll be able to pick up DC no problem!
Lovely!
Is it just me, or does DC have Crises the way the Buffyverse has apocalypses?
Simon: Captain... why did you come back for us? Mal: You're on my crew. Simon: Yeah, but you don't even like me. Why'd you come back? Mal: You're on my crew. Why we still talking about this?

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?
Gotham's in trouble, must be Tuesday.

50 years of backstory spread across eleventy-million titles
I think that all of the comics I've followed were intended to be finite. And the exceptions turned out to be finite anyway, because they were cancelled after a dozen issues or so.

Gronk.
Just started sorting the TPB/Graphic novel bookshelf. Am still missing a couple of books (the living room was rearranged to make room for baby stuff before we took the study apart to return it to a bedroom, and I'm just now moving things back where they belong), like my Across the DC Universe Alan Moore book (around here somewhere) the second Teen Titans trade (maybe on the other shelves?) and the second Outsiders trade (in a bag around here somewhere), am torn about how to sort things (right now, the top shelf is Gotham and the Gang, followed by Team Books and Other Titles, followed by Non DCU Books), BUT! I did find my copy of the sweetly wankishly earnest How to Read Superhero Comic Books and Why. As it turns out, it was nestled in between the fifty issues of Spider-Woman V1 for some reason.
Also, I need to slap together another short box and tame the stack of bags that's built up since the last time I tried sorting things.
Why is it I have two copies of Batman: Year One?
Also, why was Robin: Flying Solo in the sex toy drawer? (It's probably an answer like, "because it was on the floor and you stuck it in the first place you could find so you could vacuum," but I still find the placement amusing on many levels.)

The life of a Bat family member is a lonely, solitary life.

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

Cause you were saving the other one for me.

I look more rad than Lutheranism
why was Robin: Flying Solo in the sex toy drawer?
I think the more important question is, why *wouldn't* it be?
But then, I have a Timmay fixation.

I just got Crisis of Infinite Earths from the library, which I'm given to understand will help dumb down the scary DC universe for me.

I'm with Steph on this one. But I also have a Timmay fixation.
