Oh I see why this is such a good week for you

[thezzyzx.livejournal.com]

You're buying some stuff this week that I picked up last. Also I never remember to check for new SiP's being out. That's a pleasant surprise :)

Re: Oh I see why this is such a good week for you

[lithera.livejournal.com]

SiP has been up and down and up and down. Jsut when I think about stopping, it gets better.

Re: Oh I see why this is such a good week for you

[thezzyzx.livejournal.com]

Agreed. I can't count how many times I've vowed that a certain issue is my last EVER of SiP.

Re: Oh I see why this is such a good week for you

[lithera.livejournal.com]

Last issue was excellent.

I'm just kind of themselves getting int the way. I don't mind so much when toher things get in the way but these two have yanked on my heartstrings so much if I were involved with either one, I would have just left by now. It's too much.

Re: Oh I see why this is such a good week for you

[thezzyzx.livejournal.com]

Well he's written himself in a corner in that if they ever DO hook up, the tension will be gone but if they ever give up, the reason for the book won't exist.


I've thought quite a few times that he should have ended it ages ago.

Re: Oh I see why this is such a good week for you

[lithera.livejournal.com]

Apparently he has it all planned out, though. I don't know.

Re: Oh I see why this is such a good week for you

[ocicat.livejournal.com]

I haven't quite dropped the book either, but I don't think he's got it all planned out anymore. I lost faith after he "went back" on the future glimses by making them all fiction written by a future daughter... cop out.

Re: Oh I see why this is such a good week for you

[lithera.livejournal.com]

I know. I was like... but... What? Hey.. wait a minute...

I'm hoping it stays better.

Re: Oh I see why this is such a good week for you

[thezzyzx.livejournal.com]

Yeah that issue pissed me off too especially because the future glimspes were so moving.

[crispengray.livejournal.com]

Wow. That Avengers/JLA pic is amusing. They've pulled out all the stops -- all the Avengers, ever, including reserve members... I'm assuming the same deal with the JLA...

The Teen Titans comic... is it in the mainline DC universe? Who's in the lineup?

[lithera.livejournal.com]

It is in the mainstream DC universe. We have Superboy, Wonder Girl, Impulse, Robin, Starfire, Cyborg and BeastBoy (or whatever his name is now). Of course they're highly disfunctional at this point. I've heard Raven will be around later.

hmmm

[bayushiboy.livejournal.com]

not to be a heathen, but I don't think I've ever heard of Strangers in Paradise. *shrug*
Is ruse still being put out? Has anyone heard if/when a new Planetary book is being put out? I love Warren Ellis' work, but I think P is my favorite. :P

Re: hmmm

[lithera.livejournal.com]

There is still Planetary being made. I don't keep up on it.

I haven't seen Ruse in awhile, but I have looked.

[crispengray.livejournal.com]

He's gone back to Beastboy? Please say it isn't so.

I thought Wondergirl changed her name to Troia and died.

And aren't Starfire, Cyborg, Changeling, etc now in their 20s?

[lithera.livejournal.com]

Changeling. That's it. I'd forgotten.

No. There is a new Wonder Girl. Has been for a while. Donna Troy is quite dead and I wasn't thrilled with how she died.

Yes. They're in their 20s and their playing mentors at the moment.

The Titans are kind of a get together with your pals and fight crime on the weekends sort of thing. Except that it hasn't really worked out that way. It's been pretty brutal so far.

[jinian.livejournal.com]

I have broken the habit. I barely care that there's been an excellent issue, probably more than one, since I dropped the book. If there's ever a resolution, I'm sure I'll hear about it; until then, enough with the jerking back and forth.

[lithera.livejournal.com]

Yeah. I understand. I'm very tempted to drop it myself. I'm sure there are other things I could be buying that would make me giddy.

Re: Oh I see why this is such a good week for you

[technocracygirl.livejournal.com]

I finally gave it up when I moved down here, before the last issue. When it gets to the point where you're wondering why you buy it, a comic is no longer good.

Re: hmmm

[puppygrrl.livejournal.com]

Yeah, Ruse is still coming out. They are up to issue 24 (I think). I haven't checked my box in a while, so there might be a new one.

Re: hmmm

[bayushiboy.livejournal.com]

I'm all about TPB's these days. Has Ruse been released as such? I also would like to pick up The Path tpb. I like a good samurai epic with awesome art.
:)

[crispengray.livejournal.com]

How did Donna die?

Any chance of resurrection at all?

[lithera.livejournal.com]

Donna got killed off by a Superman android. She got heat beam lasered through the abdomen. Pretty dead. They even showed her spirit some where else fighting the good fight. I think she's pretty dead.

Re: hmmm

[puppygrrl.livejournal.com]

They've got issues 1-12 out in tpb, and I was told the next 6 are due out sometime soon, but no idea when. I ended up just splurging and buying all the regular issues to catch up (I got hooked late).

[mizkit.livejournal.com]

I quit buying it, too. I'll buy the TPBs someday when the damned story is done, but I'm tired unto death of the back and forthing. :P
