I'm not. I already had volume one, so I'm not inclined to skip something I already own.

Cripes, I just did the math to see how much I was saving through AmazWAN. It's $38.72 ... holy hannah.

So this is the fourth gay DC hero in the new 52, right? The couple in Stormwatch, Batwoman and Alan Scott?

Rich Johnston is now saying he has sources saying it might be Alan Scott that will be gay.

It could be an Earth 2 character. All the publicity with little genuine value. That's what I'd expect DC to do based on their decisions over the past decade or so.

The comic book industry never disappoints.

Fifth. There's one of the new Teen Titans.

I'm wondering if this was always in the plans or if DC made this decision just because Marvel is marrying off Northstar next month?

This ain't a comic scene, it's a gay arms race.

Has Renee Montoya not shown up anywhere yet?

At this point, they just think the same way.

Cool.

The Alan Scott thing doesn't bother me. It is a new Alan Scott, so it isn't necessarily being shoe-horned onto a character I'm already familiar with. Plus I'm sure Robinson will come up with something worthwhile.

Forty Seven Thousand Guys isn't too happy about the gay arms race

Dinosaurs were more evolved.

Also, I don't think Steven Spielberg could make a bitching' movie about those guys.

I am just telling you to not burn that without reading it. I know you might want to, but I think that would be foolish.

Tell me you wouldn't be terrified if you were trapped on an island with those dudes.

Just give me 47,000 lockers to stuff them in.

I think Beast Boy will become the new gay superhero.No idea why I think that.

Hanzo the Razor · 24 Jun 2007

Batman Incorporated #1 was pretty good. Love the art.

The whole thing has the same great indie-cool vibe that Glory and Prophet over at Image do.

And don't forget to read Batman 701 and 702. Those were published right about the time Batman Inc. launched, and explain a lot, sort of a sum up by Morrison of everything he had in mind through Batman R.I.P., Final Crisis, Return of Bruce Wayne, then Batman Inc.

For those as confused as I was, here's the TPB reading order...

Since I'm waiting on the books until sometime next week, I think I'll go back and read Batman & Son and Final Crisis to catch up to where I'm supposed to be. I suppose I could read Black Glove, since I have the issues, but we'll see how I feel. I don't remember being too blown away by that arc.

Is that the Dick Grayson Batman in your current avatar?

Hanzo the Razor · 24 Jun 2007

Sort of. It's a design they didn't use from Quitely's sketchbook that he made in case Grayson would have a different costume.
