petra: Barbara Gordon smiling knowingly (Best Childhood Ever)
Dear Livejournal,

Today I picked up this awesome new comic book called Robin. I've never bought it before, so I was pretty scared of what I might find inside!

It was super cool awesome! Okay, Robin wasn't wearing what I thought he'd be wearing, but he seemed Just Right to me!

Plus it was OMG SO SLASHY in that broccoli-test kind of way. <3 <3 <3 <3 <3!!

Love,
Petra

P. S. It's number 148 which I guess means there's a LOT of other ones but my flist says there's only 120 other ones really, whatever *that* means.

[livejournal.com profile] monkeycrackmary wanted to know what 5 trade paperbacks I would recommend to someone to get them to see the DCU the way I see it.

I wasn't seduced by trade paperbacks, I was seduced by .cbrs. I made a pimping CD.

These were the contents, with some items removed because if I were to redo it, I wouldn't include them. )

Looking over that list yields this one:

Batgirl: Year One -- Babs is strong and cute. Metatextually, Chuck Dixon's Batverse owns my heart.

Nightwing/Huntress -- 'Superhero comics' is another word for 'soap opera in pretty spandex.'

A Lonely Place of Dying -- Raving fanboy makes good.

Superman/Batman: Public Enemies -- It's bright, it's shiny, and the love is beautiful.

Bruce Wayne: Murderer? -- Hey, it worked on [livejournal.com profile] entanglement.
