are hearing it's delayed until November
And why am I not at all surprised by this?
Played with Kaylee. Sun came out, and I walked on my feet and heard with my ears. I ate the bits, the bits stayed down, and I work. I function like I'm a girl. I hate it because I know it'll go away. The sun goes dark and chaos has come again. Bits. Fluids. What am I?!

You should know I'm a big deal in the Resistance.
I just called my comic shop to see when they thought they'd have it and got, "prrrrrobably next week."

The email newsletter from Newbury comics did NOT have Buffy as an arrival this week. grumble grumble
I think if I'm going to blame someone for the delay, it's the artist, not Joss, because this same thing happened on Fray.

My comic shop newsletter says Dark Horse says Nov. 12th, but their distributor is saying Nov. 19th. Guess we'll just have to wait and see.

What is it with the press spoiling comics these days? (I should note that in the following link, if you click, YOU WILL BE SPOILED. However, hovering your mouse over the link does not tell you what the spoiler is.) AP spoils Action Comics #870. (Action Comics is a Superman title.) Bad AP! No Pulitzer!

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.

Does anyone know what's up with the Fringe comics? Did they get ganked?

"Fuck Western ideologically-motivated gender identification!" Sulu gasped, and came.
tries not to spoil self for latest Season 8 developments...
Hey there! Just read The League of Extraordinary Gentlemen: The Black Dossier and reread The Forty Niners, and then read Top Ten: Beyond The Farthest Precinct.
Alan Moore for the win, with his great big sexy brain. Gene Ha for the win, with his mad artwork skillz.
Fanfic spinoff writers/artists...not so much for the win. Beyond the Farthest Precincts - yeah, no.
It strikes me that one of the key elements in Moore's and indeed Gaiman's writing which seems to be absent from most of their emulators (excepting Mike Carey, who kicks ass) is compassion. And dignity too. Just - BtFP isn't bad, but it's heavy-handed and it doesn't make the characters real, dirt-under-the-fingernails rounded human beings. It just makes them characters.
Okay, and I hated the cheap shot at Cathy's religion (and I'm an atheist). And Girl 49...yeah, no. And being open about Smax's lover being his twin sister. And Shock-headed Peter's racism getting downplayed whilst he teams up with a clicker. Bad job, professional fanfic-writing people. No cookie.

Torque, according to my comic shop newsletter, the first issue was set to be released Sept. 9th. I can't find in any of the subsequent newsletters that it's been delayed for any reason. You could try calling Westfield Comics, they're always up-to-date on that stuff. Another newsletter comes out tomorrow, I'll keep an eye out for any news on it.

From my weekly newsletter:
We just received an update on the lateness of Buffy Season 8 #19 from Dark Horse and thought we'd share it with the comic's rabid fans:
"The new release date will be November 26th. Due to the unfortunate nature of Joss Whedon's extremely packed schedule, the issue ran much later than expected. The good news however, is that we will be returning the Buffy release date, to the first week of each month in short order.Issue #20 will have an on-sale date now of Dec 17th, while issue #21 will land on Jan 7th - thereby reestablishing Buffy release dates at the first of each month. In addition issue #20 is a one-shot and will land perfectly in time for last minute holiday shoppers by arriving one week before Christmas. Now who said Santa doesn't have a soft spot for Vampires?"
