Buffistas

Illyria: We cling to what is gone. Is there anything in this life but grief? Wesley: There's love. There's hope...for some. There's hope that you'll find something worthy...that your life will lead you to some joy...that after everything...you can still be surprised. Illyria: Is that enough? Is that enough to live on?

"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.

Angel has been coming out fast and furious for some reason. This will be the 5th issue in something like 2 months (by count of days).
