Infinite Crack

[smittywing]

In an attempt to become knowledgable about Infinite Crisis for this thing I'm doing tomorrow, I have been reading the comic books I sort of blew off the last few months when the shiny newness of SGA swamped me

Do you mean Batgirl #43 or #73? ;)

[smittywing]

It's fixed. They're on the same side of the keypad.

Now, to pester more people about inane, Batgirl minutae!

Yeah, I don't know. I thought I saw a solicit somewhere that said something about BC being AWOL and after the last crisis, she thought she was her own mother so...yeah. I just checked DC's advance solicits, though, and can't find that reference, just allusions to a "new lineup" but Huntress is still there and at least BC is in the first One Year Later issue so at least she's not dead or anything.

And wasn't that the point of the very first mini? That Dinah turns sort of aimless without someone to boss her around and get on her nerves? Oh dear. You don't suppose she's the shadowy figure on the roof?

My friends and I have taken to calling it Infinite Stupidity.

My personal response? I've switched back to Marvel. I'm just going to wait for them to bring Bart back.

I kinda lost respect for Rucka's Sasha/Bat thing after I read his interview (in Fugitive 3) where he went on how he had created her to create a 'ship and then kill her off tragically (original version) to provide angst for Bruce. Because it was something that had never been done before. But then at the last minute he used the teary rejection cliche instead.

No, for real.

Re: Throwaway Characters

[kkglinka]

I know what you mean. Mine has mostly limited series on it, because I can only deal with so much rehash and open-ended crap. Now, throwaway characters.... It's kind of sad when you see a new character introduced to be paired with any given legacy character (well established, often pre-crisis) and think: gee, when will they die horribly to cause the hero angst? I had seriously thought Sasha was being introduced as the modern equivalent to Kathy Kane and to find out she was pre-assigned to a fridge....

Bleh. The pattern has become so predictable it's literally boring. Helluva lot more boring than a stable 'ship. It's as if they writers think that if they prove why heroes must fly solo enough times, in the face of so much contradictory real life, we'll believe it. Then they won't need to write any more of that icky, girly romance. It's not like that's the best selling fiction genre, or anything.

Wonder Woman is coming back in June or July with a new creative team, the guy who writes Young Avengers will be doing it.
