That's beautiful. Or taken literally, incredibly gross.

It'll probably still suck though.

I think that can only be implied in softcore.

Wait, Drew's writing a Buffy/Fables/Sandman crossover?

And if Willow is Gojira and Xander is Gamera, who exactly, is King Kong?

And if Willow is Gojira and Xander is Gamera, who exactly, is King Kong?

1. I love the nerdtasticness of this question.
2. Oddly enough, I think the answer is: Oz.

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

Does that make Buffy Mothra?

Think Anya and Tara singing backup together.

I finally picked up Astounishing today (what? It's a busy time of year). "What else have you been lying to me aobut?" Heh. Heh, heh, heh. That was awe. some. And what everyone else said. And thanks for that bit of comic book history, Victor, because that phrasing ("To me, my X-men.") made me tilt my head - and realize I was probably missing something historicalish.

I'm still kind of meh on Angel: AtF, but I am enjoying Connor. I don't think I like the Gunn story, and the soul thing. I'm tired of the soul/no soul thing and all of that.

Hmm, just finished Angel: AtF myself, and I disagree - I rather like Gunn still trying to be the good guy, but he can't quite do it (otherwise he wouldn't be snacking on people he rescued). I do like the Connor stuff as well. And I'm intrigued to see where they'll go with Illyria keeping Spike as a pet.

All in all, liked it better than issue 1. Still HATE the artwork though.

Oh, yeah, I meant to say, I was kind of amused by Spike as Illyria's pet. Speaking of Illyria, she must be kind of psyched to be back in a place more like what she was used to.
