#3 has that scene with the two WWII vets sitting in the convertible, and one of them is saying, "Just get Captain America. I saw him in the war. He'll take care of this."

Barbara has become my favorite character in the book, and her resumption of the Cheetah persona because of Cale strongarming her almost broke my heart. But I love a good villain as much as I love a good hero, so I'm still hoping.

Yeah, Cale was just Luthor With Boobs during Ruckas first run (if I may be so crass), but her motherhood and her friendship with Doctor Cyber (Doctor Cyber! Again, can't believe I'm typing that) really humanized her a ton.

Byrne is right behind Stan & Jack's run. Not half as innovative, almost by definition, but he did some great work with all the toys that Stan and Jack set up.

It's good! Barry Kitson on art doesn't hurt, and it's always fun to see some of the biggest heroes in the DCU during their rookie period. Plus, Apellaxians up the yin-yang!

Better drawn anyway. That X-Men cover is all kinds of horrible.

It's the only thing that makes any damn sense.

Ian McShane is Odin? Holy fuck, that's awesome.

Plus all them legbreakers what work for Dunkin' Donuts gave 'em what-for.

"Ah, spelling 'America' with a 'k,' are we?"

And yet, on a visceral level, I just prefer the Stones to the Beatles.

Babs is older than Dick.

The cut of your jib is pleasing to me.

In fact, for a minute, Babs was adopted by Gordon.

It's just good tactics. Let the gangsters aim at the brightly garbed ten year old, they will hardly notice the man mountain in a black cloak lurching toward them.

That's Nightwing, to schmucks like you and me.

They had separate beds!

What do you expect? It's frickin' Cyborg.

Bingo.

My plan in a nutshell!
