We killed a homeless man on this bench. Me and Dru. Those were good times. You know, he begged for mercy, and you know, that only made her bite harder.

It's actually been a really hard year, when you stop and do the math. Eliot would cry, too, if it didn't take him seventy minutes of therapy, two cocktails, and a Sondheim medley before he can experience a human emotion through the haze of his PTSD.

So is the cover to Angel #11 going to be a flashback, do you think? Since Angel isn't a vamp in the present-day of the storyline? Or maybe he gets re-vamped? (That bit of wordplay never fails to make me laugh.)

Or maybe the cover doesn't represent what actually happens in the issue. I think we'll just have to wait and see.

Speculation is way more fun than silent waiting, though. Especially on a Monday.

It sure is. Is anyone reading Spike? How is it?

Has it started yet?

Isn't it the spin-off from the current Angel? And not actually out yet?

(If #2 is coming out in August - I'm guessing that #1 won't be out 'til June/July.)

Yes, this is true.

(If #2 is coming out in August - I'm guessing that #1 won't be out 'til June/July.)

In June we get Angel #8 & 9. In July we get Angel #10 & Spike #1.

Is there any Joss input into the Spike comic? I'm not sure I want to invest time/energy if not.

And if there is Joss input, he better DAMN well get something going on a Giles/Faith spin off. I want my slayer/watcher "Avengers" DAMMIT! Don't give us that cover and not follow through on it!

No shit! I want more Faith, soon. With or without Giles. There's still so much of her story to tell. Give her her own comic, damnit.
