You always do this. We get tipsy, and you take advantage of my love of the scientific method.

I thought it was weird with TT's "secret identities will confuse the kids" policy that the DP referred to each other by both first names and hero names interchangably.

One of the signature things about the comic book Doom Patrol was that they almost never used their code names themselves, very much like the Fantastic Four.

As far as Supergirl goes, in the old days whenever Superman used to visit a planet with a red sun, it was almost automatic that he'd come across a piece of kryptonite, and be totally immune to it. That may have changed when he was reimagined, but JLU doesn't always follow recent canon.

"I remember when they eventually introduced that drug kingpin who murdered people and smuggled drugs inside snakes and I was like 'Finally. A normal person.'” —RahvinDragand

Wow, they should have saved Neil and Alan for the finale against each other. Though I hope the final outcome is the winner of that match rather than Bendis or Miller.

I think I clicked on each of their names a dozen times before making my final choice.

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?

Damn Gaiman fanboys are probably all busy doing their eyeliner for an Anansi Boys signing or something.

Neil told 'em to vote for Moore. Amazingly obedient ....

(I'm expecting and dreading the Miller outcome.)

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

I admit that I chose Neil, though Alan's better. Neil needed the vote more.

Well, you know, in my HEAD he needed the vote more.

For this round, or for the whole deal?

I kept expecting someone to knock him out earlier, but that was wishful thinking.

Miller's like the Chris Carter of comic book writers in my world view: started with good and seemingly novel concepts that shook things up, but hamstrung by hubris and a belief in his own hype.

For the whole deal, sadly. Although I'd dearly love to see Bendis take him in this round.

Unusually and exceedingly peculiar and altogether quite impossible to describe

I voted for Bendis, for the reasons Plei gave in her description of Miller.

I'm looking to the future, not the past. (Yes, I voted for Moore over Gaiman. Yes, I can see where that contradicts the whole future/past thing. Hush up!)

Yes, I voted for Moore over Gaiman. Yes, I can see where that contradicts the whole future/past thing. Hush up!

Eh, it doesn't really. They're both kind of past, but Moore's more active in comics than Gaiman.

You can't leave me to my own devices; my devices are Nap and Eat. -Zenkitty

Be glad you didn't read any further into the Village Voice review. From the second paragraph:

Gaiman's had too much success to think in any terms other than those that have earned him subliterate demigod-hood

Um. I think I'm officially pissed off at being called subliterate. I think I also have a bunch of rather advanced books on my bookshelf, right next to my Gaiman comics, that prove otherwise.

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.

DX- Ah. Doesn't make logical sense to me, but then again, we're talking about people who do or don't have super powers based on what color a star is so I guess if it's true to the comics I just have to accept it if not like it.
