Read #1, have #2 on hold...
Spike: Heard what happened up top, offing your dad and all. Don't know if you know this, but, uh…I killed my mum. Actually, I'd already killed her, and then she tried to shag me, so I had to-- Wesley: Thank you. I'm…very comforted.

"I've got a gun! I've got a mother-flippin' gun!" - Moss, The IT Crowd
Yeah, I've read #1 & #2. I'm semi-interested in it, and if it was a large publisher I might just wait for a collection, but since it's Jeff Smith, I'm trying to keep him in art supplies.
I loved Bone, and I suspect I'll love this in time, but it's such early days right now.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset
I just got 2 today. I'm loving the sparseness of it, but the lack of much dialogue means the issues go by WAY TOO FAST. I'm reminded why I normally stick to TPBs - single issues just wind up frustrating me with their shortness.

"I've got a gun! I've got a mother-flippin' gun!" - Moss, The IT Crowd
Yeah, same for me, which is why I'd wait for the collection if it wasn't a small publisher.

"There are few hours in life more agreeable than the hour dedicated to the ceremony known as afternoon tea."
What is RASL?
I picked up my comic books today, which included the two most recent issues of Angel and the most recent Dresden Files.
Angel is finally starting to get interesting for me. I'm looking forward to seeing what happens next.
Whoever said upthread the Murphy looks wrong was right. She looks too harsh. Isn't Murphy mostly described as looking too soft and feminine to be as tough as she is? The female zoologist reminds me of Fred from Angel. I like the storyline and it works really well visually as well as story-wise.

"This bar smells like kerosene and stripper tears."
Which was the last Angel? Was it the one with all the in-jokes? Because honestly, I laughed my fool head off at Gwen using Storm's line.

Punishingly Intricate
I totally feel like I missed an Angel! I'll have to try to get them in order and see.
