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

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.

Now tagless for your comfort.

I've been buying Owen pairs of the Marvel Superhero Squad Action Figures and for Christmas, I got him Wolverine & Phoenix and Beast & Iceman. He got Iceman's name correct and was calling Beast "Monster Man." But then it went downhill when he called Wolverine, "Poopman."

I need to get Gambit & Rogue for myself.

Finally got Buffy #9--and there is definitely more to Buffy & Giles' estrangement beside this Faith thing. But I liked this storyline, especially for some reason.

As for A:AtF, I'm liking the plot more, I guess. But Spike as Hugh Hefner made me snort out loud. I like the Connor stuff but is it wrong that the telepathic fish gets the best lines?

I also picked up the HC of Mouse Guard, Fall 1152. It was so damned pretty and my dealer gave me a discount. I think I've single-handedly increased his sale volume by moving to town. I need to get Serenity: Better Days added to my pull.

The lost sheep grow teeth, forsake their lambs, and lie with the lions.

Here's a wonderful take on the whole "Woman in the Refrigerator" issue.

No, I don't think I will - me, quoting Captain Steve Rogers, to all of 2020

Hey Ple, are you an Ann Nocenti fan? (Didn't she write Spider Woman or one of your odd-corner superhero fandoms?)
