I caved...
Apr. 8th, 2010 08:57 pmOr in this case it might be more appropriate to say I "Batcaved". Okay, that was really bad.
Anyway, I hit the comic book store today and I forsee some serious cash outlay in my future. I had seen snippets from the "Red Robin" issue that was released this week and I decided to get the first couple of issues in the series to see if I like it. This led to the first couple of issues of the new "Batman and Robin" series...and the first couple of issues of the new "Adventure Comics" series with Superboy.
I've also gotten several of the TPB (trade paperbacks) for Green Lantern and I'll be continuing with the new "Flash" series.
Umm...did I mention that this might get expensive? Knitting and comics are *not* friendly hobbies for the wallet.
I have to say though that one of my attractions to these titles (aside from the fangirl worship of Geoff Johns) is the relationship between the characters. One of my many favorite things from the "Flash" mini-series was how much of a touchstone Barry Allen's relationships were. Not just with his wife, but also with Hal Jordan. Okay, that feeds in the slashy side of me (as does the Supes/Batman relationship) but it also shows something that I've been missing in my shows like NCIS. A relationship where they depend on each other and trust each other.
One of these days I'm really going to have to type up my whole theory about how Gibbs is really Batman (Bruce Wayne) and Tony is Nightwing (Dick Grayson).
