Did the new Buffy come out yesterday?
I may be love's bitch, but at least I'm man enough to admit it.

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

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!
Yes! And it was pretty fun, actually. A little cracktastic (and it continues the annoying plot point from last week about vampire awareness), but enjoyable. I read through it fast, but it's one I want to read again slower.

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.
Berke Breathed's Bloom County, one of the signature comic strips of the 1980s, will be republished in its entirety by IDW Publishing.

Yay Bloom County!
This month's Buffy didn't really stand out for me. It felt more like an episode of Doctor Who. Half an episode even.
I also picked up Obama/Spider-Man. Major disappointment. It's not a whole issue, more like 4 pages. I guess I'm glad I have it. It is cool to have the image of Obama and Spidey doing the terrorist fist bump.

Ha, that's true. Maybe that's why I liked it.

Powers series!
FX just said goodbye to one badass detective, but it's in the market for another one.
Comics author Brian Michael Bendis said at last week's New York Comic-Con that he's finished a pilot script based on his and Michael Avon Oeming's series Powers. That the project "is in active development" at the cable channel, Bendis tells MTV's Splash Page blog.
ETA: Contains a big SPOILER if you're not caught up on the comic. (Thanks Jess.)

Ooh!
I still need to catch up on that series. The trades are expensive.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset
AWESOME.
Pretty huge spoiler in there for anyone who hasn't read the books yet, btw.

I wonder what this is referring to:
Bendis sounds optimistic about the prospects for a series, though. He tells Splash Page that he's waiting for notes from FX, but "as long as they don't involve sock puppets and some sort of orgy scene that I'm not interested in, then hopefully it will go in the right direction."
To me it sounds like Farscape, but that didn't begin as a graphic novel so maybe not.

Yeah, I was all what the hell about that. Luckily, that's the last storyline I read.
