Shrift, I'm in pretty much the same place re: the Batverse. I was at the comic book store on Wednesday, and they had the whole current run of Teen Titans, and I was SO TEMPTED. Fortunately, I didn't have enough money for them, and left with only 1602, Y: The Last Man, and Tales of the Vampires.
Yeah, I'm not getting sucked into comics *at all.*
The current Teen Titans rocks. Not as hard as the old Perez days (Terra was the bomb), but it's been pretty keen. Plus, for slasher shippers,
Superboy is a mix of Clark and Lex's genes.
How cute.
I've been so good so far at not encouraging you, haven't I?
Isn't it great?
Yes! And even though I
don't want Tim Drake to retire AT ALL, there is great possibility for lots of Tim angst coming up.
Rebellious Superboy with his tight jeans and black T-shirt is also good stuff.
Plus, Kid Flash is gettin' pretty hot, too.
I'm starting to wonder if certain publishing companies, movie, and/or television studios are taking the slashability of characters in mind when creating new characters or series.
Either that, or y'all have corrupted me to the point where I could probably watch the McLaughlin Group and spot the HoYay.
Crap.
Friend of mine just offered my a 10% discount at local comic shop through the school club he runs.
Now I basically
have
to buy lots of comics.
Next time I insist the world is conspiring to make me geekier, maybe people will believe me.
Either that, or y'all have corrupted me to the point where I could probably watch the McLaughlin Group and spot the HoYay.
I'd advise against actually doing this. I know from experience that once you are trained to spot the slash, you start seeing it in places you'd rather not.

Yes, yes you do. Mwahahahaha!
