"Avengers Assembled #3The Question: All Along the Watchtower #1"
"I finally got around to reading the end of (and re-reading the first two-thirds of) the most recent Fables revival (issues 151-162) by Bill Willingham and Mark Buckingham. It wasn't quite as gripping as the absolute best of the series -- I missed…"
"I've just started reading David Collier's Morton: A Cross-Country Rail Journey, a rather wordy but potentially interesting graphic novel about a middle-aged man's musing-filled journey across Canada by rail.

"Oh cool. Thanks for the info!

"Prowler 1-3 - This is an Eclipse series from the 80s written by Timothy Truman. Has this been part of your Truman reading, Jeff?
Actually it has not, but Total Eclipse has kind of put me in the mood, so I may rotate it in soon.
I'm just not sure if…"

"Yeah, I think that was Absolute Power.
Okay, I assumed it was Absolute Power."

"OK, I was in the neighborhood of my LCS today, so I stopped in and picked up this week's books. And while I’ve been cool on Lemire in the past, I really loved JSA! An arguing JSA is *exactly* how I first encountered them in the 70s, between tensions…"
"Actually, while there's one incident from Absolute Power referenced in JSA (causing tension between Hourman & Jesse Quick) mostly it's just a time jump. Something has happened in the last couple weeks that we'll find out about as time goes on. "
"I read the All Eight Eyes trade, and it was not at all what I expected. Actually, it was better, because I thought it was a dark comedy, which would be OK, but it's why i didn't hurry to read it. Turns out it's not funny at all, and if you have…"
"Yeah, I think that was Absolute Power."
"A big part of the problem that I had is that there seems to be a gap between the new series and the old one, like there was a story that I missed somewhere."
"Rob, JSA has strong ties to Absolute Power, which I did not read. YMMV"
"I won't be getting JSA until next week, and I really want to like it. But I have to admit, I've been cool on pretty much anything I've ever read by Lemire."
"My curiousity is piqued by Absolute Superman, but I was a bit underwhelmed by the JSA one myself. I didn't enjoy it as much as I did the recent series, and I didn't enjoy that one as much as the one before, and so on, back and back and back. There…"
"Not that overwhelmed by either one of them, really."

They're good fun. I think I'm scratching the itch I had as a kid when I couldn't afford those big lumps of colourful plastic that looked so cool in the ads.
Actually I'm downloading them as I just know I'm going to visit that site some day and see that they've been taken down...
If you happen to find out the creative credits for the different episodes and their publishing dates I'd be grateful for the info. I couldn't find them anywhere.
Here's a birthday present for you.
