Jackpot!

I have hit the motherload. I have a new favorite place to find illegal goods: so many comics torrents!

I spent most of last night and this afternoon reading the entire runs of Nightwing and Young Justice (I skipped most of what I've already read - though not all, by any means, because baseball in outer space is funny).

So far, I have 670 (!) issues of Batman, all 52 of 52 (will knock your socks off), Young Justice (so funny!), Gotham Knights (omgmumbleDevinGrayson!), most of Robin (including the three miniseries), Birds of Prey (wimmins!), Nightwing (hotness + angst = win), Crisis on Infinite Earths (cracktastic!)...

Currently working on: Superboy (silly), Impulse (sillier), Flash (back to the Golden Age), All-Star Batman and Robin the Boy Wonder (Yes, the Miller crack I ranted about), Titans (all three eras), and a bunch of Batman graphic novels that aren't part of proper continuity. Give me five minutes, I'll think of something else and queue it up.

The reason I omgmumbled on Gotham Knights is this: Devin Grayson (who writes for the Bat-books, among other things, and is one of the best Dick writers ever) believes in her personal canon that Dick made a pass at Bruce when he was a teenager and got shot down. She says they'll never let her put it in a comic, but she operates under the assumption that it happened. It really comes through in Gotham Knights, particularly in the infamous "sticky and hot" conversation - in which a (crazy) psychiatrist (who knows about The Secret) sums up Dick's relationship to Bruce. Which is indeed sticky. And hot.

Anyway. If, on the off chance, my near-constant babbling has made you curious, or nostalgic, or I don't know, even vaguely interested in DC comics? Now you know where to go. The files are all .cbrs (something like a .rar) which require a program called CDisplay to run. If you can't find it, I can send it to you.

Now don't expect to hear from me for a week or six.

Oh, and tomorrow's my birthday! I didn't make the connection! Thank you, internet, for my birthday gift! I appreciate it!
