Ben: I didn't ask for any of this. I just want to be normal. Gronx: I wanted to be an underwear model. We play the hand we're dealt.

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!

I know, but I didn't want to ask since I did not intend to buy the issue, just read it. I wait to buy trades. So far, no one has ever given me shit—I make it a point to buy stuff intermittently to support the store—but I still feel sneaky and bad about it.

I did ask for food recommendations, though. My friend wanted noodles, and the guy in the middle told us to go to Boat House.

Oh, Glamcookie -- My brain finally put the pieces together and both Exterminators & Army@Love both have, as they say, adult content. Exterminators isn't too explicit, as I recall, but Army@Love might not be something you'd want to recommend to younger readers.

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

Dude. Tank Girl.

Yeah, I was told The Walking Dead was also a pretty hard R.

Now tagless for your comfort.

Dude. Tank Girl.

Tom is in my brain.

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

I'm looking to collect Buffy S8 in graphic novel form. Where does this fall? The beginning?

That's the second trade, ita.

This is the first trade, and this is the third trade, which just came out.

Nana korobi, ya oki. (Fall down seven times, stand up eight.) ~Yuzuru Hanyu/Japanese proverb

I've just got to get this out of the way about Buffy:

OMG, Buffy killed Willow!!!!

And,

Riley is part Twilight!!! Not really too surprised by that. After all, the military is involved. I don't care if they filled the Initiative caves in, collective stupidity never goes away. It's like the root system of that giant fungus under the midwest.

I'm still a little confused as to just why Future!Willow felt Buffy needed to be killed. I'm going to have to go back and reread all the Fray crossovers. The gap between issues has made things hazy. It's just not making sense to me.
