The first part of the next series of Umbrella Academy is out! I have it! Christmas came early.
Buffy: He ran away, right? Giles: Sort of, more. turned and swept out majestically, I suppose. Said I didn't concern him. Buffy: So a mythic triumph over a completely indifferent foe? Giles: Well, I'm not dead or unconscious, so I say bravo for me.

:: 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.

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.)

Hey, check it out! Somebody's selling The Watchmen issue of Amazing Heroes that I edited back in the 80s.
It is a collectable cover.
