Things many fans did ask for from DC:

Well, that was frustrating to tally up. I’m going to go be grouchy now.

And with the final four reporting in, lets post that last tally…

Hey. Thanks for linking to my review of Birds of Prey. But it looks like there was a formatting error. My post shows up as a URL instead of a link. Also, there's a letter missing, so even if people copy and paste, they won't find it.

Here's the correct link:

http://irrelevantcomics.blogspot.com/2011/06/birds-of-prey-13-or-how-dc-is.html

(note the L at the end)

Thanks again. :)

you're too quick! I'm still editing this post so it will be a while before everything's correctly formatted. Blogger never formats anything correctly the first go-round. Anyway, that's already been fixed but thanks!

Oops. Sorry. It showed up in my RSS feed, so I thought it was done. Anyway, thanks.
