To understand what happened at the diner, we shall use Mr. Papaya! This is upsetting because he's the friendliest of fruits.

Wow.

OK. That looks fun.

Unusually and exceedingly peculiar and altogether quite impossible to describe

I'm totally confused by pages 2 and 3, though I'm guessing from context that they're good guys who I just haven't heard of.

When I was in the comic store today, cute comic-book guy and I were chatting about Infinite Crisis, and he said that he read an interview with a VP at DC, who said that the final page of Infinite Crisis #1 is the best page of comics he's ever seen EVAR.

That's a lot to live up to, yo. I mean, Robin and Superboy making out wouldn't even make it the best page EVAR.

Then we slagged on All-Star Pedophile Batman and Robin for a while, and then moved on to speculating who in their right mind would let Rob Liefeld draw Teen Titans.

Then cute comic-book guy asked "You like Buffy, right?" And I said yes, and he said he had been in Baltimore for the t memfault convention and got a bunch of free swag, and gave me this: [link]

I think he loves me. (Plus, the little Angel figure has the option of being shirtless!!! Too cute!) I tried to get the Batman & Batgirl (Babs-as-Batgirl) figures away from him, but he said no, they were cool and he was going to put them above the register.

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

My spoilery comment is small

OMGWTFDAMAGE!

And, umm... yeah. My non-specific comment is that I am very glad I've read all the issues of JSA (except last week's, which is waiting in the bag for me to get off my ass).

Plei, on your spoilery comment -- is that the Batcave, or the Watchtower? Because the good guys who I didn't recognize mentioned an explosion on the moon, and unless it was Chairface Chippendale, I was assuming it was the Watchtower.

Also, this week's BoP -- I can't make any sense of the timelines of the different titles. Like, did the most recent Outsiders happen before this issue of BoP? V. v. confusing.

Steph, re: my comment, I was OMGWTFing the fact that the character Damage is there.

I fixed it. The link doesn't autolink very well.

Steph, those characters are the newest version of the Freedom Fighters, one of the classic superteams that DC bought decades ago. They've popped up a bit in JSA, and a lot of the members have been prominent in other titles in the past (Damage, Titans and Starman, to name a couple.

Best comic EVAH is too much hyperbole for me, but it does look promising.

Not best *comic* EVAH (the whole issue, that is) -- but the last page is (allegedly) the best page of comics EVAH. Still a lot of hype. We'll see.

Yeah. I've found they're not their own best judges of that, really.
