He and I discussed the current state of both our pull lists, of whether or not comics will die out because of trades and digital downloads, and each one of us recommended series that have been collected to consider. It was all very amicable.

I furiously pointed out a couple of great things about our Capped Crusader to Steve, things I'll post later in this thread. But what I want to do first is turn to you, readers and writers of the PVB, and have you share your own thoughts on what makes Hatty irreplaceable in the Parodyverse. What he does that no other hero can, and what he could do that no other hero couldn't to make him even greater.
