The Batman Says...

Wow... It seems like you guys have quite a few ideas as to what's floating around inside Bruce's punch-addled brain. The funny has been brought by all. In addition to all the hilarious suggestions, a few people even took up the challenge of creating their own versions. Jake over at Ye Olde Comick Booke Blogge , Chris at the Invincible Super Blog , Other Chris from 2 Guys Buying Comics ,Diamond Rock of Title Undetermined , Jon at Hypnoray , Nala over at Naladahc , Mark at Focused Totality , Michael at The Silent Accomplice , Kanto of Kanto-Gamer , Damo over at Scribbling Around the Edge , Pepp over at Pepcomics , the mighty The Fortress Keeper ,Ragnell over at the Written World , Vincent at Spandex Justice , Bully from Comics Oughta Be Fun , Dorian over at Postmodernbarney , West at A Question of Semantics , Gordon at Blog This, Pal , Erich over at Fish-Flavored Baseball Bat , Mike Sterling of Progressive Ruin fame, Sleestak from Lady, That's My Skull , Dan Kelly , Andrew over at Die, Hipster, Die , Jack Ketch , Chip over at Ch-Chandler's World , Harvey Jerkwater from Filing Cabinet of the Damned , and Hatgirl have all entered the fray. Dr. K, friend of the ISB, is presently blogless, but sends along two examples which can be found here and here .

Looking at these things reminded of those old See 'N Say toys. You know, the ones where you pull the string and the spinning arrow lands on a picture of some farm animal and you hear, "THE COW SAYS MOO."

So in the spirit of that fondly remembered toy, I present the first post, of what I hope to be a series, featuring the disturbing fruit of your twisted minds-

I'm a little late to this one, but what the hell.

That's so Raven!

I 've been reading the Geoff Johns Teen Titans for the last year or so, yet I've managed to remain ingorant of much of the team's classic Wolfman and Perez adventures. I even own several issues from the Judas Contract storyline that I've never really bothered to read until recently. I was a Marvel kid in the mid- 80's, so much of DC's pre-Crisis stuff I've had to read about third hand. I think I've got a decent grasp of some of the overall storypoints - Terra's a traitor, Deathstroke's a badass - you know, the basic stuff.

So in the spirit of a well rounded comics education, I've decided to bone up on my DC history, starting with the Titans. I'll work backwards until I'm ready for Bob Haney's Silver Age Titans masterclass. Before reading the comics, I decided, it might prove useful to do a little research on the characters involved.

Inspired by my friend Joe's ongoing fascination with her, I decided to start with Raven- the gothiest Titan. I'll leave you with the first thing I discovered in my quest for knowledge. . .

Wonder Blog Powers Activate!

I recently discovered the wonderful world of blogging and now I can't get enough. I blame Devon at Seven Hells! for hooking me and Chris over at the the Invincible Super-Blog for reeling me in. If you're looking for commentary on the oftentimes unintentional hilarity that can be found in your favorite comics, then then check these guys out. I can die a happy man now that I know something like this has been published and exists in some longbox somewhere waiting to be read.

I only hope the next several months I spend locked in a cold, dark room hunched over a keyboard prove to be more fruitful than the last several.

What other comics blogs can anyone suggest?
