Comics -- yes, I still read them!

buggeryA couple of questions. One is spoilery for the most recent issue of GOTHAM CENTRAL and possibly other titles, and is thus behind an LJ-cut... which you skipped past, if you're reading this.
So if you aren't caught up on all your comics -- I'm still months behind on some titles, myself -- and want to avoid possible spoilers, stop reading here.
Right.
So, in GOTHAM CENTRAL #34, we get, among other things, a tour of Arkham for the purposes of making sure all theinmates patients inmates are still where they're supposed to be. And... Harvey Dent is there.
Now, like I said, I'm *not* caught up on all my comics, but in the ones I am caught up on, and no more than two or three months ago in the ones I'm not, the last time we saw Harvey Dent was at the end of "Hush," at which time he had one face, no hair, and his freedom. So did I miss something, or is this how they meant to inform us that Harvey is back in the shrink-clink for whatever reason? Help.
Now, the other questions.
For those of you reading Y: THE LAST MAN ...is it still going? Is there a trade or trades out, and how many separate TPBs will collect the full run, if the full run *will* be collected? If you've read it all, or read up through the current issue (if it hasn't wrapped or been cancelled yet), did you like it / would you recommend the series?
Also, for those of you who read Brian Azzarello's year-long storyline in SUPERMAN... well, same questions, more or less. Is it collected in its entirety, and if so how many trades will it take to get the whoile thing? And if you read it, how did you like it? As far as this goes, I'd prefer recs (or pans) to avoid plot spoilers, if you can possibly tell me why I should/n't read it without spoiling me.
Thanks!
(My birthday is next Wednesday, and my mother called me a few hours ago to gently remind me that I haven't given her any idea what to get for me. From fandom people, any sort of Dick Grayson fanart or fiction would be more than welcome, but no gifts are expected.)

And... okay, I *know* it's wrong that I'm perving on that pose you put Dick in. I'm not gonna put the shame off on you by asking. But... oh, that's wrong in just the right way. Innocent on Dick's part, inescapingly prurient on ours, in the best tradition of the cover of LotDCU #6.
Best five-days-before-my-birthday present ever! I am so doing something special for *your* birthday in a few months...

I'm glad it worked out. I have a few failed attempts at this pic that I scrapped. Was close to thinking it wouldn't work, and then, behold! Bruce is standing and I had a decent sketch to work off for Dick.
I'm pleased!!
Happy birfday! And *squee*. I'm going to will November to be closer and faster in coming. :D
