I'm sorry that I've been so quiet lately. Over the last week I started a number of entries in my head, but for some reason my energy level had been that of a wilted vegetable. Then yesterday evening I got a sudden high fever, so now I really feel like crap -- though better than last night, I even saw a doctor this morning because I felt so awful,

* Muppet!Angel totally justified the entire show's existence.
* That IS a stunning cover. mmm.
* Ahhh, whoops! The Pulse is in regular MU continuity--where Peter is married to MJ in Amazing Spider-Man and Matt is now Boss of Hell's Kitchen. It's a sequel to Bendis's series Alias, which is also required reading. *g* I can see the confusion, though--Ben Urich is quite similar in both regular and Ultimate continuity, and JJJ's had a recent significant streak of humanity in both. It's all a big Bendis mishmash, and all worth reading, even if you occasionally have to remember what bits go where. (I *just* had to do that with the first issue of Secret War--took me a bit to remember it *wasn't* in Ult-verse.)
* Year Two is stinky. I have that Spotlight, should dig it out for giggles sometime....
* Roy rocks. ^_^ The Batman + Arsenal one-shot is also worthwhile for some really great interaction between those two, as

I haven't read Alias, I always assumed it was some comic about the tv series (which I don't watch). So it's not connected to that, but to the main MU? What's it about? (>.< as if I need more comics on my "to read list", I'm too easy *g*)
I read the Batman + Arsenal issue a while ago. Actually I think it was you who recommended that to me along with the mini-series, I just had a much harder time finding the Arsenal mini.

also, thanks for the Arsenal recs, I find myself totally falling for him. My plan to remain monogamously Batty is clearly failing.

And yeah, that story was totally like a slash clichefic, I mean it even has a two page relationship talk epilogue at the end, after the h/c and rescue action parts, with Nightwing telling Batman "You're a part of me, Bruce. I can't deny it. And I don't want to any longer. I just wanted you to know that. That, and one other thing -- I'm proud to have been Robin." Batman remains silent and we get Nightwing's internal monologue: "I'll never know how he feels about me. I'm not even sure he has feelings anymore. But it doesn't matter I've made my own path. And finally I feel good about it. And maybe -- just maybe -- he feels that way too." that is while Nightwing walks away, without looking back, but Batman looks after him and almost smiles in the last panel.

FYI, Year Two has been written out of continuity by subsequent storylines -- IIRC, that was the story with Joe Chill? Current continuity says Batman does not know (and will never know? never say never in comics-land, but pretty much) who killed his parents.
