I know my own heart and understand my fellow man. But I am made unlike anyone I have ever met. I dare to say I am like no one in the whole world. - Anne Lister

Ha! At my comic shop there were two stormtroopers. It was adorable seeing the kids getting their pic taken and watching traffic practically come to a standstill as everyone looked and waved.

We hit 4 comic shops yesterday. What's with this new trend of only 2-4 books per shop? LAME!

Remember, remember/the fifth of November/the Gunpowder Treason and Plot/I see no reason/Why Gunpowder Treason/Should ever be forgot.

Hey Glamcookie, lame it may be, but the retailers have to pay for all of those goodies. And if I remember correctly, they have buy by the box, which has a seelection of material, but they don't get to chose what is in the box. So if they want a lot of the DC or Marvel FCBs, they have buy multiple boxes and live with having tons of Archie comics...

I stayed in and missed free comics day. I'm willing to bet when I go next week, they'll have leftovers. Which surprises me because as far as I know, they are the only comic shop in town. There used to be another one on campus, but it packed it in 5 or more years ago.

What's with this new trend of only 2-4 books per shop?

I went to my shop about an hour before they closed, and the comic-book guy was telling people to take as many as they wanted, so he didn't have to put them away (because the free books were on the rack where new releases usually are).

Of course, by that point, all that was left was Jughead, Bongo (which is crazy, because that shit was GOOD), Dan Dare/Stranded, Transformers, and a couple of other random ones. I only got Tiny Titans because my comic-book guy set it aside for me since he knows I'm a DC girl.

I just reread Buffy Season 8 #1, and the picture on Buffy's tank top sure looks like the Serenity logo. Did anyone else notice that?

Never fall in love with somebody you actually love.

There's a bunch of shout outs like that in the series. I'm sure Xander is wearing a Can't Stop The Serenity tshirt or some such at some point.

I can't remember that, but I do remember that in one of the issues, one of the Slayers was reading Fray.

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

in one of the issues, one of the Slayers was reading Fray.

I saw that! I seem to have missed the Serenity shout-outs.

You know, we could experiment and cancel football.

Did you see the Doctor Who shout out?
