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

Eh. All those "groundbreaking" Doom Patrol stories that everyone raves about as being such works of genius always struck me as sour grapes rehashes of Alan Moore's work by somone who was pissed off by all the accolades it earned.

Really? Because I've always seen Morrison as quite greatful to Moore for blowing open the doors for that sort of work at DC.

Are you SHITTING me? 52 is "enjoyable"?!?

I'm actually rather enjoying 52. It's not changing my life or anything, but I look forward to it every week.

Yeah, what exactly are the life changing comics in Victor's life?

S to the A -- using they/them pronouns!

Well, I'm not Victor, but I just got caught up on four issues of Powers, and I really am amazed at how much I still dig this title. It's made even more interesting by the fact that Christian and Deena both have powers now, and are reacting to them in wildly different ways, while still having this awesome case to go on. Really one of the most consistently enjoyable titles I've ever read.

Hey, what's the word about the Manhunter title sequel?

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

Powers is a terrific book.

I think the other thing I find impressive about it is that it survived a reset. And not a continuity-spurning reset either, a reset that was within the context of the story while still driving forward the action. I think that's pretty remarkable.

Speaking of resets...
