Nightwing can't see in the dark.

 Preview over here courtesy of the Sauce..

Fooled you! It's Chris, not Dick! Although, Flamebird is being a dick/bitch. This story is turning into a religion vs. atheism/agnosticism thing that I would prefer to keep in the real world.

don't think its so much religion vs athiesm/agnosticism its more, he was a kid born and raised in phantom zone by militaristic "former" terrorists... its all he has known.

[theanswer]

No, what she is telling him is that if he doesn't read her bible then he can never understand or be with her and he will never be whole/saved.

[jaybee3]

Well, Thara is a member of the Religious Guild, even though she headed Zor-El's security. This is what she chose to do with her life even before the spirit of the Flamebird entered her so I'm not that surprised. Although, I do think this will backfire (and I also still believe that Dick will return to being Nightwing in 2011, by that time Chris will either be dead or he and Thara will go back to the Phantom Zone together).

Or maybe they'll BOTH be Nightwing. They could form the Nightwing squad!

[mullon]

I don't care about these characters anymore! Bring back Superman; I promise I'll never think he is boring again. Just please make these characters go away!

[midnightvoyager]

Uh. This. A thousand times this.

[schala_kid]

Chris was more interesting when he was a kid with Lois and Clark.

But seriously I am a bit miffed that with the absence of Superman this could have well turn out to have been a Daily Planet/Lois Lane comic.

READ MY SEX TOY AND IT WILL ALL BE CLEAR

[star_of_airdrie]

not that I doubted for a moment that it was just me...

[birdofprey]

hahahaha, same thoughts...

[pallas_athena]

Nope.

[kagome654]

Guilty.

[saralakali]

Yeah, all I can think is, dude! I want a glowing blue dildo engraved with Kryptonian symbols. (But only if it's got a compartment for my bullet vibe.) You think we could get Merchandising to go for this?

[cleome45]

Best. Icon. Ever.

<3 <3 <3

[autumn_lily]

It was either that or a giant glowing joint...

[iondan]

This was my first thought as well. Thara seems to have a lot of phallicky crystals, sooner or later Chris is going to wind up accidently using a sex toy as cellphone or something.

[galateus]

And I thought the ice dildos were just on Smallville...

[katzedecimal]

Add the fact that the Book of Rao appears to be a glowing blue dildo and it opens a whole new can of cracktext that puts it quite firmly into the category of "this belongs on Scans_Daily." The first Great Kryptonian Schism occurred when the sages argued over whether Rao meant for the Book to vibrate or not.

[kingrockwell]

that's it, i'm headed to photoshop

[kingrockwell]

Chris Kent: Has no idea how to use one of these things.

[icon_uk]

And he calls himself a Nightwing... tsk tsk tsk

[katzedecimal]

Ohh thank you. I feel better already.

[pyrotwilight]

Oh you two, just make out already.

[iskander]

They had Book suppositories in Krypton ?

[sistermagpie]

Oh come on now. It's a glowing dildo. They're not even giving us the dignity of subtext now!

[schala_kid]

Augh agh! Thara should just go away already! And Chris should just get a memory wipe and be a kid again. I really liked Nightwing better when he was just a Kryptonian turned vigilante who was cast out from his home instead of a Kryptonian god.

On the bright side, we'll finally get a story about Nightwing and Flamebird.

[zordboy]

Leaving aside the fact she just gave him a glowing blue dildo...

...surely, *surely*, someone in the editing process picked up on that...

...I don't know. When it comes to Krypton, wouldn't that be as much of a history lesson if nothing else? To be fair, a lot of real-world religious texts have a valuable historical element to them, separate from the miracles/what-have-you.

Besides, at the end of the day -- she just gave him a glowing blue dildo. If there *were* any serious arguments to be put forth by this text, they're gone.

(and besides that, if this is a commentary on a real-world issue -- so what? I'm sure the atheists are screaming in rage at the very concept, but some people need that spiritual aspect of their lives validated. Whether it's a book, or a glowing blue dildo, so what?)

[kingrockwell]

nah us atheists are too busy poking fun at the glowing blue dildo

[katzedecimal]

Do we have a new in-joke now? Henceforth the Book of Rao shall also be known as the Glowing Blue Dildo ( = GBD)?

.... oh... oh i just had a very naughty thought about the Rosary of Rao.......

[zordboy]

... you know, as a non-atheist, I'm completely okay with this. *nods*

[galateus]

Wait, they need their spirituality validated by a Superman comic?
