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.
Other Media 2: It's Astounishing!
Discussion of comics, graphic novels, and more. Except for capes. No capes!
Please use spoiler font for new releases until after the weekend following release.
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.
New Buffy AND new Angel this week, right?
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?
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.

I saw that! I seem to have missed the Serenity shout-outs.
Did you see the Doctor Who shout out?
If I did I forgot about it after.
New Buffy: Wow, now Dracula looks like Johnny Depp.
And poor Xander and poor Xander's possible new girlfriend.
