"We are the Goon Squad and we're coming to town...Beep! Beep!" - David Bowie, "Fashion"

ANGEL: After the fall.

Hate the artwork. Haven't decided about the storyline yet, but I'll keep buying.

Question to those who read it: That was supposed to be Gunn vamped out at the end, right?

Also, who's the her in "they killed her" that made Angel decide to take on W&H? Fred? Because I thought that was whatshisnames own little side thing, not a W&H initiative.

"I am the all-singing, all-dancing crap of the world"

I'm skimming all the Buffy talk because I want to know when they're to be compiled into graphic novels.
Yeah I've decided to wait until they put Buffy and Angel in trade paper back.

I need to finish my Whedon's Astonishing Xmen TPB collection.

"what's left when you take biology and sociology out of the picture?" "An autistic hermaphodite." -Allyson

Frankenbuddha: Yeah, the art's pretty irritating. As for the Gunn=Vamp thing, yeah, that's what it looked like to me, which raises some questions about that other Angel post-S5 series that came out a while back, with a one-eyed and mortal Gunn. Vamp!Gunn has a scar on the same eye, though. I dunno what that's about.

And the other thing, yeah, I think Fred's what he was talking about. I dunno how he got the Senior Partners being at fault for that, other than their hiring practices.

Mr. Scola’s wardrobe by Botany 500

Article on Gail Simone in the NYT.

With the publication of issue No. 14 of Wonder Woman, which hit stores two weeks ago, Ms. Simone has become the regular writer of that amazing Amazon’s super-adventures, published by DC Comics. She is the first woman to serve as “ongoing writer” (to use the industry’s term) in the character’s 66-year history.

Yeah I was sooo upset I missed Angel's release date! arghh! by the time I went to the shop they sold out. I'm going today though. BTW:

"I agree that Buffy's reaction to Faith seemed a bit over the top. Why assume that Faith is being nefarious? Why wouldn't she think that the people who brought her there also brought Faith?"

Sumi, I couldn't agree with you more. But boy isn't Giles going to get an earfull!! I can't wait for December's issue. I heard that in while that Drew Goddard is going to write after Joss does a few. How cool is that??

Art Crawl!!!

Really? That's great.

I need to go pick up my Angel.

I'm thinking of picking up Batman and the Outsiders. Is anyone reading this? Is it good?


isis479 - Nov 29, 2007 11:15:08 am PST #1044 of 5059

No I haven't. But if you want to read something really twisted but yet cool, def read Gerard Way's Umbrella Academy. I just picked some issues up and I'm hooked!!

You should know I'm a big deal in the Resistance.

Hey Buffistas: Unless I'm mistaken the above post is by someone I know personally. isis: meet the Buffistas. Buffistas: this is isis. We recoginzed each other almost immediately as fellow Whedon fans when we met at work back in February. Good to see you decloak, isis.

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?

Hiya, isis!
