second verse, same as the first!

I noticed this morning they've cleaned up most of the massive tree that fell in front of the law school when the remnants of Hurricane Frances hit us. Just the roots are left. And a good thing, too, because we need the room for whatever falls when the remnants of Hurricane Ivan hit us...

Your friendly neighborhood Gotham Central update

Well, there's good news and there's bad news.

The good news:

I've done some checking and according to Ed Brubaker on the DC message boards, so far there are two trades planned for next year: "Half a Life" (issues 6-10, the Renee Montoya-Two-Face story which won an Eisner) and "Soft Targets/Unresolved" (issues 12-15 and 19-22, Joker as sniper and Harvey Bullock storylines).

The bad news:

That means some issues are getting left out of the trades, like the excellent #11, which was a look at the squad from Stacy the civilian secretary who turns on the Bat-signal's point of view and an excellent jumping-on point for new readers who don't know who these people are. Plus, we still have to wait till next year.

So anyway, this is just to let you know that if you're a Gotham Central fan, you may want to start picking it up monthly or hit eBay for what you've missed to avoid potentially missing out on some good stuff. (I can't believe they're leaving stuff out!! Arrrgh!!)

...I so need a Gotham Central icon. Some weeks half this journal is geeking out over Gotham Central.

EDIT: Have an icon, thanks to estimatdprophet!!

This must be a proud day...

scarcrest is on the phone telling me about dead monkeys in the bathtub. I bet he's so proud of himself.

Adding insult to injury...

You know what's worse than atomicnumber51 blowing me off to watch Trading Spouses?

Her calling me back two minutes later and describing the train wreck in such a manner that I now want to see it.

New icon!

arkhamrefugee has made me a new icon of my semi-self-proclaimed title. Isn't he a doll?
