Where was high school teacher and recovering vigilante, Helena Bertinelli at 7:03PM when the verybadthing happened?  Today we're going to find out!  We also discuss Chuck Dixon deftly flipping the script on the Bat vs. Man-ness of Bruce Wayne!

Plus: Our first dip into the N-MaiLbag... which, uh, don't say that out loud.

Azrael was still coming out in 1998?  Oh yes... it was!  In fact, this is the first of many issues of the title we'll be discussing as part of our No Man's Land coverage!  I hope we survive the experience!

Today, having just beaten the man who broke the bat, Jean-Paul arrives in Gotham just in time for that thing that happens in this story... to happen!  From there, he must chase and defeat Bane... again.

Cataclysm reaches our flagship book, and its titular hero's story takes a backseat to Barbara Gordon's attempt at herding cats!  It's not the GCPD's finest hour... but, at least they're under good leadership!

Also: some tangent-laden back issue bin chatter!

At 7:03pm, Gotham City was rocked by a 7.6 Magnitude Earthquake... let's talk about it!

Welcome to a New Year... and a new project!  We're kicking off the Road to No Man's Land, with designs on covering every single chapter of the Batman Crossovent from Cataclysm to Endgame!

Today's issue is a fun one, taking us back to those post-Zero Hour "Batman-as-Urban-Legend" days for a somewhat ephemeral romp, before hopping into an ominous pre-cataclysmic epilogue!

With our four-part primer out of the way, we have finally arrived at the Dawn of DC Titans #1... which starts off with a (literal) BANG!

Our heroes have their first "official" outing as a unit, have a run in with an unsavory agent, and lay the first brick in what looks to be quite the little mystery story!

Are you a Titans fan, Titans-curious, or Titans Lapsed?  If so, I'd really like to hear your thoughts on this new Dawn of DC direction!

In which we wrap up our discussion on the four-part Dawn of DC Titans lead-in story arc, Rise of the Underworld!  What will SuperDick do with his powers?  Will he sell the soul of his nine-year old ward in order to keep them?

Are you a Titans fan, Titans-curious, or Titans Lapsed?  If so, I'd really like to hear your thoughts on this arc and new direction for the team!

Taking a look at the penultimate chapter of our Dawn of DC Titans "pre-req" story arc.  During which, your humble host can't help to fumble and stumble over his words as he attempts to adequately describe and define why this storyline feels like a "real" Titans story... and how it has the nebulous quality of "heart".  It's a(nother) half-hour of me rambling is what I'm trying to say -- join me, won't you?

Are you a Titans fan, Titans curious, or Titans-Lapsed?  I'd love to hear your thoughts on this story and new-old direction for the fan-favorite team!

In which your humble host's inner comics cynic takes a good, hard look in the mirror!

Taking a look at Part 2 of the Dawn of DC Titans "pre-req" story, and having an uncharacteristically great time with it!  Listen to me stammer on and on about how this feels like a "genuine Titans story", without being able to actually put into words what a "genuine Titans story" ought to feel like!  I guess it's just one'a those things where ya know it when ya see it!

Are you currently reading, catching up on, or lapsed on the Titans?  I'd love to hear your thoughts!
