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?"

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

I just stumbled across this. It looks like issue #2 was pushed back until January.

Has the Farscape comic been released yet? I forgot that it was happening.

"I remember when they eventually introduced that drug kingpin who murdered people and smuggled drugs inside snakes and I was like 'Finally. A normal person.'” —RahvinDragand

That cover (and the storyline it implies) makes what would have been a joyful upcoming product release ambivalent for me. Why didn't they just go the whole nine yards and feature Scorpius reaching out from under the baby's bed?

Thanks, sumi. I'm going in this weekend, so I guess I'll add it. Matt, I kind of agree. Ah, well.

Grant Morrison is on the cover of Arthur (with interview)

Man, I had tons of comics in my pullfile. I couldn't afford to get them all.

TONS.

I was so far behind. It's nutty.

And then I had the audacity to add Farscape to my pullist. (And they added it.)

At least Supernatural and the Batgirl mini are done.

You should know I'm a big deal in the Resistance.

I just read Marvel Zombies. That was... interesting.
