Wow. That's ... interesting. I agree with you, about Cassandra. (also, wtf is up with the pen and ink. I really don't like the way that's drawn.)
Giles: I'm sure we're all perfectly safe. Dawn: We're safe. Right. And Spike built a robot Buffy to play checkers with. Tara: It sounded convincing when I thought it.

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.
I have no idea what's going in that scene. But after a year off, Tim has apparently decided to trade in his green pants for orange tights and wearing his underwear outside his pants. Weird.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
At least he's not EVIL.
God, I'm pissed.

So come, my friends, be not afraid/We are so lightly here/It is in love that we are made; In love we disappear
Needless to say, I'm less than enthused with the character developments of Cassandra Cain.
Yeah, it has a lot of people up in WTF.

You could *kind* of see it coming. But that doesn't mean I have to like it.

Maybe, but now she speaks fluent English. That's out of nowhere.
I'd be pretty impressed if there was a reason behind it (that leaves me happy) whose revelation in OYL time unfolds along with the backstory in 52.
But I doubt that is going to happen.

Not for the reasons she gives, I don't think. It's not at all in line with any of the textual information we have about her.

I can see her being all "I am not a tool of Batman." You just REALLY have to sell me on her shift. The end of her comic wasn't enough.
Going as far as "I kill my father, I am not my father"...takes a bit more work.

Thrive to spite them
I've started reading comic books again and I haven't really read anything since December, but I got caught up on some storylines, I picked up the latest Outsiders and I have 1 questions... Mallah and The Brain -- are they a couple? I found the answer. I was thinking Mallah was Grodd (both being gorillas), Mallah/Brain is kinda sweet in a twisted way. Why does the world think that the Outsiders are dead?
