Let's talk about this again once I post the review for Grayson Vol. 5; I'm a little confused as to who was planning what and who knew what when.collectededitionshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14698269790653953645noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10945794.post-90979337206068184152017-03-22T16:52:53.291-05:002017-03-22T16:52:53.291-05:00I recall Dick specifically references a line that ...I recall Dick specifically references a line that the fake Dick says to him, something about "you don't know who you are".HelloTherehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05602812462354227620noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10945794.post-18608477641066308962017-03-22T16:03:28.208-05:002017-03-22T16:03:28.208-05:00I would read batgirl's solo series before BOP ...I would read batgirl's solo series before BOP because the story that takes place in the first trade comes before BOP chronologically and then I would read nightwing then BOP.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10945794.post-13551631477931481592017-03-22T09:55:03.273-05:002017-03-22T09:55:03.273-05:00Sure, though I read that conversation as having sp...Sure, though I read that conversation as having specifically met, not just that Max was framing Dick for the murders.<br /><br />In all I was satisfied with Vol. 5 of Grayson, but there's one point related to this very thing that confuses me.

Let's just say that because Seeley stayed on the book no plot points are unsolved.<br /><br />I thought I read in one of the comment sections on your blog that "Justice League Vs Suicide Squad" would be completely separate and wouldn't have issues double printed.<br /><br />And looking at Amazon it will get the same treatment as Batman: Night of the Monster Men (first HC and TPB later). Some research shows that some of the Suicide Squad books numbering seems to miss issues, but more importantly that the parts that lead into Justice League vs. Suicide Squad of the issues that are posted twice are the back up stories. A bit like they did with the Shazam! book.PeterBnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10945794.post-43982618060208161412017-03-20T16:56:35.787-05:002017-03-20T16:56:35.787-05:00What would I need to read so you can ask your ques...What would I need to read so you can ask your questions without spoiling anything?<br /><br />That DC is taking the crossover issues out of the paperbacks, but then putting them in the hardcovers, is an interesting choice. But so far we only know they're doing this for "Night of the Monster Men." Didn't it seem that Justice League vs. Suicide Squad would require double-dipping between the regular series trade and the miniseries trade? Or has that been changed?collectededitionshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14698269790653953645noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10945794.post-18492263856878610232017-03-20T14:52:16.770-05:002017-03-20T14:52:16.770-05:00I read this review full of questions and I want to...I read this review full of questions and I want to answer them, but I really don't want to spoil stuff for you.<br /><br />About how it's collected. Robin War always had to take place a bit earlier than the Grayson numbering would suggest, so I think it's good they did collected it in that way so we know for certain. But I'm still convinced that the only way to collect these crossovers correctly is as they're doing it post-Rebirth, The New 52 (and DCYou) way of partially collecting crossovers or forcing people to flip between books to get the full story is just wrong.
