I look more rad than Lutheranism
Preview of Buffy #18
I'm not crazy about the art, especially Xander and Dawn. Also, is Joss just seeing how much he can possibly fuck with Dawn before people get sick of it? Because I was over the whole giant thing about 4 issues in.
Oh! And I want to make "There's no need to swear like a nerd" my tagline, but I guess I have to wait.

Bad Wolf
When is 18 dropping?
The Angel/Spike schedule is off from what I put on my calendar so now I'm a bit paranoid.

Teppy! I loved that line too. Hee.
I think 18 comes out next month. . .

Yes, #18 comes out September 3. #19 will come out October 1 Except for rare occasions, the Buffy comics always come out the first Wednesday of each month. One of these exceptions is #20, which will come out November 26. The delay is because they had to wait until an artist they especially wanted for the issue (Eric Wight) was available.
I don't think IDW does normal schedules for their comics, other than "monthly," which is why Angel and Spike seem to come out on random weeks. Dark Horse at least tries keep a normal schedule.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

I've actually been enjoying it a lot more than Angel: After the Fall, which I've find mostly disappointing so far. Although the villain seems to be little more than a Glory clone , Spike's been pretty entertaining. Maybe because it's only four issues, Brian Lynch decided to tell an actual story rather than a collection of fan-oriented inside-jokes.
