Tonight, I'll be playing Sid Meier's Pirates as a character named "V", who never talks to governors, and who will attack any ship moving except for immigrant transports...this, while listening to podcasts on economics, law, bikes, and so on.

Batman and Son. He also wrote Batman: Gothic and Arkham Assylum: A Serious House on Serious Earth, but those aren't connected to his bigger story. Although either one could be worth checking out, if you want to get a taste for the author without investing yourself in a massive arc.
Whatever Happened to the Caped Crusader? by Neil Gaiman is weird, but also worth a read. The gist is that it takes place at Batman's funeral, showcasing the myriad ways in which he might die. It's a lot better than it sounds, but I don't want to spoil too much.
I also have to endorse Superman: Red Son. Yes, it's a Superman story, but it does feature Batman. Except it's an alternate universe where Batman's parents were killed by the KGB and he's a Russian terrorist in Superman's totalitarian regime. He has a really cool hat:

I'm going to bully some geeks and take their lunch money.
Which may actually pan out well for you when that same billionaire geek hires you as a bodyguard in 10 years.

The billionaire nerd won't have a choice, concidering my persuasion techniques. The geek will read comics in his mother's basement.

I wish I had seen this thread. I would have gone through a few levels in SimCopter. I still played some Tecmo Superbowl, though. That counts for something, right?

I spent all day at Comicpalooza in Houston. That was a blast. I got to meet Jean Luke Picard and several other well known star trek actors. Tabitha St. Germaine and Andrea Libman from MLP were there and several other actors and VAs from other movies and shows were there as well.

Seriously, it's awesome. I like that comic more than I have an right to really, especially given Millar's general mediocrity.

Gawd, Sinclair was the worst. I love B5 as much as the next scifi geek, but I can't stand Sinclair.
Oh man I didn't know it untill just now and now I can't decide between Star Wars or Star Trek all-nighterMaybe I'll just roll with Battlestar Galactica and call it a day ... umm night ^^
