    Finally! Thank you @JamieD for someone finally giving the RotWorld storyline some of the attention it deserves! This has been a great storyline and I can't wait for issues 18 of each to wrap it up. My only qualm with it, and that is an understatement, is the art of Swamp Thing 17. It totally took me out of the whole storyline and left me a little disappointed. The story was still strong, but the art style was totally wrong. A massive massive shame.

    I agree that Animal Man has been better of late. I think they have see-sawed somewhat as Swamp Thing started off much the stronger for me. I'm just glad someone else is enjoying it!!!

    Also loving Arrow as you guys are. Great great stuff!

    Count me in for some Rotworld lovin' as well. Really enjoying Animal Man, Swamp Thing less so. Didn't realise it was ending in issue 18. Thought it was year long story.

    After 7 issues of Swamp Thing it got cut along w/ Batgirl, DCU Presents & Catwoman. I preferred Alan Moore's Swamp Thing run instead. I just want to read what I like no matter how large the big 2 spin is. I moved to trying Image -- Fatale & Saga being the comic highlights of last year following the dimming of the DC new 52 glow.

    Mattel's 60's Batman toys are not exclusives. Amazon and TRU will get them FIRST, but then they will be available everywhere.

    I will definitely be buying an Adam West Batman figure, and probably a Riddler, but it'll be hard to resist getting the entire line.

    A "RotWorld" collection would be nice as I haven't read the singles past #4s.

    You should follow up with your order on the Amethyst Showcase, Jamie. I have my copy and I have seen it for sale in several stores.

    I haven't bought many toys over the past several years, but these are very tempting. If I see a Julie Newmar Catwoman, I probably won't be able to resist. The Gorshin Riddler is cool as well. Maybe down the line they could package him with his best moll, Jill St. John’s Molly (in Robin costume!). Speaking of two-packs, how about a Victor Buono King Tut with Ziva Rodann Nefertiti? And a Batman with Batusi fingers would make my day.

    Well, I am "that guy" who said Deathstroke's mask was orange and blamed the color lightening on the washed out flashbacks.

    There is a great article over at CBR concerning Arrow, Deathstroke, and Slade:

    http://www.comicbookresources.com/?page=article&id=43730

    Here is an image of the mask color variations from the article.

    Letter "A" is basically white with some gray added while "F" is dark orange. It seems "C" is the color they are using for the show. While it is technically a very light orange I certainly stand corrected as it is more of a white than an orange color.

    It'd be a toss-up between her and Sherry Jackson as Pauline (preferably in her patched dress ragamuffin disguise) in the one where the Riddler was trying to steal the rare silent films.

    Actually, now that I think about it, I'm surprised we've never seen an action figure of the lovely Ms. Jackson in her overalls-and-nothing-else outfit from the Star Trek episode "What Are Little Girls Made Of?"

    Agreed. As you were saying that, I was thinking that I swear I saw it on the shelf right around the same time Sword of Sorcery #0 shipped.

    Great episode as usual, guys.

    I guess Rotworld itself has been good/okay, but the lead-up to it was atrociously prolonged and decompressed. I enjoyed the first 6-7 issues of Swamp Thing and Animal Man (especially the latter), but then we had to wade through 6-7 more months of being told "THE ROT IS COMING! THE ROTTT!!! IT'S COMING! ALMOST HERE NOW!" over and over again in both series until the crossover could finally start. Instead of so much wheel-spinning, Rotworld should've started around issues 8 or 9. I dropped Animal Man at the zero issue, and most everything I've heard from other sites has told me that the series hasn't picked up since. (If others are enjoying it, good for you.) Swamp Thing, on the other hand, has improved, especially when Pacquette is on art, and I'm glad I stuck with it. Shame Snyder & co. will be leaving soon. Maybe I'll switch back to Animal Man at that time, though, because I'd much rather read Lemire telling focused stories about the Baker family and homelife, rather than big loud angry events where everything in every issue is billed as the most gruesome, sickening and horrible thing ever. (Yes, we know, the Rot is nasty. Got it.)

    I'd forgotten she appeared on Batman. I'll never forget her Star Trek appearance though.

    Well, I can only hope and pray that Mr. David gets better, healthier, and stronger.
    Amusing how Pants got so excited about the 60's Bat-TV toys.
    Walking Dead: I'm still on Season 2 here. That show is awesome. It just makes me tense to watch it...even when I listen to you guys' reviews and sort of know what will happen. I don't like being tense, but the tension is there.
