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

I'm so glad she didn't back down when she said that thing about the puppy. I was worried there for a moment.

According to the email from my comics store, we get both Buffy and Angel this week.

Now tagless for your comfort.

The first part of the next series of Umbrella Academy is out! I have it! Christmas came early.

"Fuck Western ideologically-motivated gender identification!" Sulu gasped, and came.

:: tries not to spoil self for Buffy season 8::

...so, finally picked up a trade hardback of part one of After the Fall.

Don't love the artwork, but the dialogue's pretty spot on - I was pretty much won over, actually, despite being a bit dubious initially.

I like what they've done with it. The Spike four issue mini was pretty good too.

As for the latest Buffy, all I will say is that I really enjoyed the trip back to high school too.

So has anyone else heard about an Angel: Smile Time comic coming out? Because it's in Newbury Comic's new releases list this week. And not a one shot - it's listed as issue #1.

Hmmm.

My e-mail says it's a three-parter. Basically, a comic version of the episode. I don't think it's intended to be part of the current "After the Fall" storyline.

Wow, that sounds really...unnecessary.
