"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).

"...and then Legolas and the Hulk destroy the entire Greek army." - Penny Arcade

Buffy: Well, the dialogue is good, but I'm less sure about the art. The first two-page spread is gorgeous, but there's something off about the way Moline draws the regulars. And something about the way he draws Warren reminds me of Bret Blevins on the New Mutants, which isn't a good bell to ring.

Astounishing: I'm even less sure about the art here. Ellis seems OK with the background, but the only time the characters sounded like themselves was when Storm and Emma were agreeing to bitch each other out. We'll see how he shakes out, though.

LOVED the latest Buffy. My only question is, was that supposed to be Kennedy in New York?

Bad Wolf

My only question is,

yeah I'm pretty sure it is.
