Young Justice #3 gonna make a number of people mad.

I do hope we get some kind of further explanation on Connor though. At least he evidently hasn't been aged down again like the art would suggest.

Mad because of stuff that happens or mad because nothing happens? I want to support the book but I’m sick of decompression and may wait for trade.

Doomsday Clock #9 is terrible, definitely a series low point. It's a bunch of superheroes punching Dr. Manhattan for no clear reason, while he tussles with them, again for no clear reason. Meanwhile, he travels in time to prove a point to Firestorm, something which Dr. Manhattan canonically cannot do.

Professor Stein referring to "grooming" Ronnie Raymond feels in extremely poor taste, into the bargain.

Deceitful and black-hearted, perhaps we are. But we would never go against the Code. Well, perhaps for good reasons. But mostly never.
#8 was leaning heavily toward 'Professor Stein has been dead for years; Ronnie is hallucinating him these days.'. I didn't like that idea at all, but now I wish that was how it had gone

Mad because it's revealed that Conner is married and has a son (and it's not with Cassie) even though the art makes him look like he's 16.The 'Not with Cassie" part is probably what's going to make people mad. So I guess stuff that happens?

Well, I just read YJ. I gotta say, I was not expecting that and I'm not sure I can possibly be happy about anything it entails. Oof.

Doomsday Clock was kind of neat in some ways but it still feels a bit meandering. It's weird when this was kind of the Superpowered Moneyshot we were all expecting.

I dunno if the new Batman did anything but rehash the Bat/Cat stuff, but I still liked it. Better times.
Great art, even if it was also rehashing those David Mazzucchelli by way of Lee Weeks and Mitch Gerads vibes.

Does anyone know if Joshua Williamson has ever given an estimate of about how long his run on Flash is going to be? I'm kind of hoping for a new creative team for a jumping on point.

Justice League continues to be the best and I can't believe it took DC so long to figure out that by combining Morrison's and the animated series together you get an awesome team.

I was okay with Young Justice. They're the late teens early 20s team now, with the Titans mid-20s. Connor not having been mentioned until now is weird, but I'm thinking that's Doomsday Clock fuckery. I'm all about letting the characters progress, and I'm willing to see what's up with the Superboy Family.

I was never really into Cassie and Conner's relationship, so it doesn't bother me. But, I get why someone else would be put off by it.

I'm mostly reading it because I love the new design for Cassie just thaf much, and I'm always down for more Gemworld.

It's weird that Conner is leapfrogging the entire 2nd generation(and, heck, everyone but Superman in the first generation) with the whole Kid and Family stuff. They are still currently in the process of screwing over Roy and Wally, who never had their kids, yet here Conner just shows up with a family in tow like it's no biggie.

This could all just be a big ruse and Conner merely took up as husband and father as a ruse. You know, kind of like a reverse Clark Kent situation where he showed up and this family was looking for a dad/husband so he slotted in. Even if that baby is like the epitome of superbaby looking.

Biggest issue would be where they're getting the bats from. That's a lot of bats and I doubt there's a lot of bat ranches. However, I know bat colonies can sometimes be incredibly enormous in terms of numbers.

You're also basically installing a bat colony wherever you release them.

The bats live under the bridge and fly out from there on their own at night. It's a tourist thing to watch it happen.

Any chances one of those bats could be radioactive and be able to pass on some super Bat powers?

1.5 million bats is coincidentally the number of bats that conservation groups say spend part of their migratory year in Austin, so my guess is that it's less that they're going to double the bat population and more that they're going to time some Batman event to happen at dusk and have a bunch of bats fly out from under a bridge and poo poo onto Dan Didio's head or something to promote Batman Who Laughs II: Make America Laugh Again.
