Your Heart Is The Only Place I Call Home

I'm redoing my tags on for what fucking better be the last time regarding anything relating to dc comics. I wanted to add character specific tags for Damian (#the boy king), Jason Todd (#would you kill without mercy and if you wouldn't then how precious is your love?), and Dick (#the last flying grayson).

And here's how my thoughts went:

You know, if Dick had a kid, he wouldn't be the last flying grayson anymore.

And then I thought, 'no way, he's never going to have a kid.' (I realize that Dick has a kid in an alternate dimension, my gut reaction was still, 'no kid.') (Partially because Barbara is paralyzed, and there are increased risks with a pregnancy, although it's by no means impossible.)

And then I started thinking about non-biological families (my jam) and went, 'would Damian count as Dick's son?' (I haven't read enough of their comics to answer that question.)

And then I thought about Dick being the best uncle/big brother ever and how he's probably going to die in a couple issues, and I guess my question is:

do you think within 5-10 years there is going to be a hostile takeover of DC comics by its fans?

Ugh, cross-overs. I realize that if everyone just stayed in their own titles you wouldn't get a lot of characters interacting who have cool interactions or fraught history, but DAMN do I hate cross overs. SO HARD TO KEEP TRACK OF. So frustrating to read!

I think the best way to read big event crossovers is to wait for the trade paperback that collects them. That way you don't have to hunt down all the issues.

...Or wait for some kind internet person to put them together in a zip with reading order attached.

Haha, either way, they're easier to read with all the pieces in one place. :P
