Once again I find myself tackling the second half of my week’s comic haul with far less enthusiasm than the first half. Because, obviously, I read the ones I thought I would like first. This is a plan with drawbacks!

Mind you, if I’d read Red Hood and the Outlaws first I might have

SIGH.

You're 100% correct about RED HOOD. What a terrible, retrograde comic. I liked Birds of Prey more than you, but then I'm a newb and not aware of the continuity.

One thing, Nightwing was fine for me to read on the DC app. If you double tap the panel the app acts like a movie camera and leads you through each panel.

Sure, Birds of Prey is great if you're not sobbing about the loss of Oracle. I coped with Batgirl just fine, but so sad to see her gone from here.

Hey, have you seen they've released the first five of the nineties JLA for iPad?

[cassiphone]

I did see that, but ONLY them for that era. They couldn't release the few Justice League Europes still missing from my collection?

I have the first collection of that JL as a graphic novel & being cautious with how much space I'm taking up on the iPad, so probably won't go nuts.

BTW you *need* Justice League: Generation Lost. It's 12 issue miniseries collected as 2 books, though the second one's not out for a couple of months.

Everyone in the world has mysteriously forgotten all about supervillain Maxwell Lord *except* Booster Gold, Fire, Ice, and Captain Atom. No one believes them. This is the book that explains how they got to the place they are in for the new JLI, packed with humour & characterisation, plus the new Rocket Red, and general awesomeness. Sadly they didn't keep this writer for JLI but honestly it's so much better than the new comic!
