I demand BTVS: 52.
As long as we don't have to deal with "Infinite Buffy Crisis," because I don't think I can deal with Spike punching time and rewriting continuity.
Although it would explain a lot.
Hey! What do you two think you're doing? Fightin' at a time like this. You'll use up all the air!

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

"When I look at people that I would like to feel have been a mentor or an inspiring kind of archetype of what I'd love to see my career eventually be mentioned as a footnote for in the same paragraph, it would be, like, Bowie." ~Trent Reznor
It's how we got Dawn.
During "Crisis on Infinite Buffys" all fanfic would be canon.
...all the slash definitely would, name like that.

I demand BTVS: 52.
Can it somehow cross over into DC 52, just to have every female in the Jossverse wind up in Montoya's bedroom?
Errm.
Christ, I'm as predictable as Greg Rucka.
And in the same exact way.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
I like to think of Rucka as pulling a Plei.

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.
Re: above, but OTish, I always get a little bit of DCAU fanboy glee when comic characters that originated there are mentioned.

the hardest to learn / was the least complicated
I'm really not liking OYL. Nightwing both sucks and blows in ways I didn't think possible, and I say that in a world in which Bill Willingham is allowed to write comics. (People on the DC message boards keep saying "At least it's not Devin Grayson," and I just don't get the hate. No matter what you think of Devin Grayson, I have just two words for you about Nightwing OYL: male. model.)
Robin #150 made me just about have an embolism. I can't begin to list how many things are wrong with that issue.
Green Arrow feels like No Man's Land, Redux. It's not bad, but it's kind of weird, and I'm just not feeling it.
BoP is decent, and I have big love for Zinda.
Teen Titans is....odd, but I'm willing to stick with it, because I love how Johns writes the characters.
DC editorial keeps saying, just stick with it, and all will be explained -- the kerfuckery has a reason. But I'm of the opinion that if you have to tell your audience to stick with the crap b/c there'll be a payoff at the end, that's crap writing/plotting/worldbuilding. A story should stand on its own, without the creator having to break the fourth wall (in essence) to tell the readers that they should keep reading.
Even if OYL is confusing, it should still draw the readers in and stand on its own merit.

Dislike: Nightwing, and the Robin developments (though that might resolve itself fine).
Like: Teen Titans, 52
Confused by: Outsiders

Loving: Teen Titans, Manhunter (sob! I'll miss it so!), Blue Beetle, BoP, The Superman Titles, Checkmate, 52.
Not hating: Outsiders, Firestorm, Catwoman, various Batbooks (though I'm more meh than expected on JR's arc, as I generally love his writing), Supergirl (see above re: predictable and just add Rucka).
On the fence until I see where they're going: Robin. Hawkgirl.
Actively eyerolling: ZoolanderNightwing. But in the, Oh-Em-Gee, could this BE any more crapcrack? amused sort of way. Oh, and Ion. Which I'm reading as Blogfodder. (Speaking of... Watch This Space For URL, which won't go up until I Have Content. Because what the world really needed was another comics blogger, right?)

Oh, yes--I'm liking Blue Beetle and am curiously enjoying (as in curious about what's coming next, not curious about enjoying it) BoP. Firestorm's cool. As far as Catwoman's concerned, I'm not buying it or anything. I just want to know who the babyfather is.

I'm intrigued by 52, especially last week's -- was I misinterpreting, or did Wonder Girl start a cult worshipping Superboy??? If I read that correctly, that's even weirder than Robin trying to re-clone Kon. (Because that fits Tim's character, perfectly. Obsessive little Kon-loving freakboy.)
