Cool, I've already Caliber waiting for me and Wednesday is my next day off. Yay comics!
May have been the losing side. Still not convinced it was the wrong one.

Now tagless for your comfort.
The first part of the next series of Umbrella Academy is out! I have it! Christmas came early.

:: 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.

I forgot this week was new Buffy and Angel! Good thing I'm heading to the west side of town, I can pick those up today.

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.

Remember, remember/the fifth of November/the Gunpowder Treason and Plot/I see no reason/Why Gunpowder Treason/Should ever be forgot.
Supposedly the sales for the Spike: Smile Time comic were so good that an adaptation of the original story was thought it would to fans of the first miniseries.

Art Crawl!!!
I need to call my comic shop and let them know that I really truly mean to pick up my comics. (Money and weather are making that problematic.)
