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.
No. And yes. It's always sudden.

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.

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

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

She did a fairly week three-issue run at the end of the series.
To be fair to her, it was her start. Thus far, it's all of her stuff I've read, though.
