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.)

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.

Wow, that sounds really...unnecessary.

There'll also be a three-part adaptation of "Not Fade Away," starting in April.

To understand what happened at the diner, we shall use Mr. Papaya! This is upsetting because he's the friendliest of fruits.

Am I the only one who REALLY loved the current Buffy comic?

Harmony as a reality TV star? And CLEM!!!!

Awesome.

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

I didn't really like how it changed the visibility of vampires, as it were. It comes out of nowhere that apparently everyone loves real-undead vampires and will love to watch them on TV and be their friend. That doesn't seem to fit with anything that we've seen before on the show or in the comic. It would be amusing if it were an AU, but it looks like it's supposed to be canon.
