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.

Any good?

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.

this mess was yours / now your mess is mine

Variant cover for Buffy #20

Okay, that's definitely the one I want! My comic-book guy has been pulling the "art" covers for me, and I tend to like them, but the "comic" one for #20 is PERFECT!
