Somebody stop me or I'll get on a plane to New York and cause serious pain....

I didn't have any comics come in while I was away, which is good for my bank balance, but the two I picked up this week....*sigh*

I thought Identity Crisis #6 was a waste - aside from confirming what I didn't want to accept, and a couple of interesting revelations, I didn't see much to move the plot forward. But then again, maybe the final part will make it read better. That's the trouble with mini-series - you kinda need to see all of them before you can really pass judgement.

Nightwing #99..again no plot development, and despite the mumblings in the first couple of panels, Dick still hasn't told Bruce what happened to Blockie. There was a very cool arguement/conversation between Dick and Alfred ("Richard John Grayson, get back in that bed this instant!" *grins hugely*), Tarantula *natch* asking Batman to train her, and a 'discussion' between Dick and Bruce...what happened?

And where were Cass and Tim?? Dick asked after them, but no-one would give him an answer, rather than that Batman was once again on his own looking after Gotham. I thought I might have missed something, but so far I haven't come across a Bat-title from last week that would shed some light.

If anyone can explain, I'll be grateful *smile* I can be a bit slow on the uptake at the best of times.

Not sure of the specifics, as I tend to avoid massive crossovers like they were likely to infect me with something lethal, but according to what I've heard/read, all the vigilantes except the Bat are leaving Gotham. Cass and Tim are relocating to Bludhaven, I believe.

Hmm..yeah, this I knew. I just didn't see anything in the last fortnight to say that's what they'd done. *shrugs* Ah well.

Thanks hon! Appreciate it :-)

And as for Dick... who the hell knows.

Certainly not Devin.

I think he's gonna be incapacitated for a while, being cared for by Alfred, while they basically re-tell his origin and Year One in Nightwing, starting with issue 100.

The GOOD thing is, it's Chuck Dixon and Scott McDaniel returning to do that arc.

Yeah, I've made a mental note to start picking it up again at #101. That much I'm happy about, but in general... I don't like a lot of what they're doing to the Batclan of late.
