Gunn: The final score can't be rigged. I don't care how many players you grease, that last shot always comes up a question mark. But here's the thing. You never know when you're taking it. It could be when you're duking it out with the Legion of Doom, or just crossing the street deciding where to have brunch. So you just treat it like it was up to you—the world in balance—'cause you never know when it is.

That which does not kill you should RUN
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.
