Swashbuckling Avengers- style adventures

Did you have the Avengers-style cover on the issue?

Despite the egregious 'I'm straight, look at me, I don't shag girls' line from the comic, I'm tempted to mentally pencil in some kind of unfortunate Faith-makes-a-pass/Faith and Buffy end up shagging incident in there just to explain what the hell has happened between the two of them.

Bites tongue

But Faith being able to pass herself off as English, and upper class or upper middle class? For even five minutes, never mind several days? Jesus, are you shitting me?

It would have been so much easier to just have Giles cast a spell. Who knows, maybe he did and the training was on what to say, not how to say it. Anyway, that's my story and I'm sticking with it.

As for the Faith/Buffy (mmm - Faith/Buffy) regression, I get the feeling Buffy sent Faith off on her own (or, more to the point, away from her), so the resentment was somewhat understandable. And honestly, I think Buffy's attitude towards Faith had further to go towards reapproachment than Faith's towards Buffy, so Buffy jumping to the wrong conclusion wasn't hard to buy either.

I had to check out Dave Sim's new comic Glamourpuss. I'm not sure if I'll be amused by his batshit insaneness or dazzled.

Part comics' history lesson, part bizarro rant. Issue #2 has an interesting bit on anti-depressants. I hope Dave is taking his lithium.

Since I couldn't find my copy of Watchmen, I ordered a new copy. Due for a re-read.

If Fay is reading from the collected trade version - won't she get copies of all the covers in the back of the book?

I need a new Watchmen. Mine fell apart from many re-readings.

I have never read Watchmen. I must remedy this.

Related aside - my FLCBS is having a moving sale tomorrow and all trades are discounted... with the explicit exception of Watchmen.

I have never read Watchmen. I must remedy this.

You really must. It's amazingly good. I have a few issues with the ending, that I obviously won't go into at this point w/out spoiler font, but the rest is so good they don't detract from the overall impact.

Hmmm... all copies at both the uni library and public library are on hold. Time to talk to my local fannish lending library, aka my friend Anny.

I want to read Doom Patrol, too. Really, my comics reading has been exceedingly spotty. I haven't even read all of Sandman. And I've barely touched any DC or Marvel canon, but I'm kind of okay with that.

They just redid those ads for the movies

So, was Sally Jupiter's ad the only one that didn't have "Who Watches the Watchmen?" (or at least part of the phrase) somewhere in the ad? I looked at the large version her ad (and it's utterly fucking amazing, as are the others, in terms of detail), but I didn't see the catchphrase anywhere.

Anyone see it?

It's on a ticker looking thing outside the window.
