Well, I bought the annual because of Priest's one-shot. It was great!
But yeah, Slade's attitude was what really makes me think that Bruce is really the father, and the real plot will be something else (well, I also think that Alfred and Wintergreen are screwing with their masters, so I guess I'm just full of crazy theories).
MAN do I wish I could have gone to C2E2. Priest AND Pagulayan! And that panel! And I could have gotten a foil cover of issue 30! (I mean, I ebayed it already, so I'm really excited about that, but it would have been really amazing.)
