I've loved Dinah since I first encountered her in GA comics over ten years ago, and I loved her more than ever in this. Different but also the same, the very best kind of reboot.<br /><br />(Thanks for the Comicosity link, that was a great read.)Stevehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16546370463396570168noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10945794.post-8308030979441953192017-12-31T21:30:37.118-06:002017-12-31T21:30:37.118-06:00Are there any allusions to David Bowie in any of t...Are there any allusions to David Bowie in any of this, or are they just pulling random song titles for the trades, a la "Degrassi" episodes?pblfsdahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07471473189061385119noreply@blogger.com
