Dumb question popped into my head. How does Batman drive with the cape on? I hate driving with a sweatshirt on. Does the cape ever get stuck in the pedals?

Okay I want to ask a quick question to everyone here. Is anybody reading any DC right now. I mean I have said it in the past but DC is really good right now.
Is anybody reading any of the following:
All Star Section 8 JL 3001 We Are Robin Prez Omega Men Starfire Grayson Midnighter Action Superman Batman
Is anybody here reading anything or is everyone just on Marvel and Star Wars.

I'm reading Batman and Justice League. I recently dropped a few other books from DC that just weren't keeping my attention (Superman, Green Lantern, Wonder Woman).
I don't dislike the books I dropped. I've been trying to pinch pennies, though, and I just don't want to keep reading books that I'm "eh" on.

I'm not really reading anything at the moment I have a long backlog though. Starfire is on it... but yeah... like I said long ass backlog.

I've stopped buying the monthlies; too many series to keep track of and not enough chances to hit the comic book store these days. I'm mostly just waiting for the TPBs of certain books to come out at this point, but there are quite a few that I'll be interested to get when they're released.

I've heard nothing but great things about Midnighter and I'm picking up the trades as soon as they start releasing them.

Is anybody reading any of the following: All Star Section 8 JL 3001 We Are Robin Prez Omega Men Starfire Grayson Midnighter Action Superman Batman Is anybody here reading anything or is everyone just on Marvel and Star Wars. Yeah I am All Star Section 8 - Funny stuff, Very surprised how good it is We Are Robin - Entertaining, But can't really say much about it as it's just starting Prez - Funny Omega Men - Not bad but I think it'll improve once it gets into full swing Starfire - Funny Grayson - Awesome, I love spy stuff Midnighter - Very good so far Action - Very good, I'm enjoying the "Truth" arc Superman - *See above* Batman - Words cannot describe how awesome this book is, Snyder is amazing "Constantine: The Hellblazer" is very good, Much better than his previous "Constantine" book this is more mature "Green Lantern: Lost Army" is fun, Some pretty neat twists too "Red Hood & Arsenal" is hilarious, It's kind of a buddy cop series....except they're mercenaries "Doomed" is surprisingly good

Scott is that you. But seriously the one thing surprising about Superman is JRJR. I didn't really like his stuff at Marvel but him on Superman I like.

PREZ is wonderful and, unlike the goofyness of the original 1970's series, I could TOTALLY see this happening in real life for some reason.
STARFIRE is a very sweet reading book and wonderfully illustrated.
Wasn't expected to like SECTION 8 as much as I am. Really nice seeing Ennis back at DC doing something...

Current DC? They ran me off a few years back. For 25 years, I was a DC fanboy. In the 90s I was the nerdy kid on the street that liked DC while all my friends liked Marvel and I defended them relentlessly.
Now, I'm down to Harley Quinn and Starfire. I also read He-Man, but I would read that regardless of whether DC had the current rights or not.
I am thinking about checking out the Dan Jurgens Superman book though. I heard it was the post Crisis Superman I grew up with, but teleported into the New 52 universe or something. Dan Jurgens is THE Superman writer/artist to me, but I haven't heard much about if the book is actually good or not.
Still better than Marvel though. I think the only Marvel comicI bought this year was the conclusion to the Matt Fraction Hawkeye series
IDW and Image are where it's at for me right now, and I never thought I'd say it, but Archie Comics are fantastic right now, between Afterlife, Archie vs Predator, and the reboot, there's been a lot of good stuff.
