Apparently in this storyline, they all just finished college.

Poor Jughead! He looks so heartbroken.

This is kind of fun: Eco-comics, a blog about the economics of comic books.

A company of hundreds spends millions of dollars to create a new series of weapons only to have the company CEO steal it all and fly around new york wearing a Halloween costume. In this economic downturn, it seems truly tragic for a company to nearly go bankrupt because their fourth-quarter profits were spent "trying to kill Spider-Man."

A UK publisher is going to do a series of Angel/Buffy magazines each focusing on a specific character that come with a painted lead figurine of that character. For more info check out here. It looks like they will be only available in comic shops.

Where would I go for the demolition of the New Buffy Movie rumours?

It's been discussed in Buffy & Angel as well as Movies. I think at this point it's still in the "could be" stage.

edit: It's also been discussed in Jossverse even though Joss wouldn't be involved.

I had a very meh pair of pickups at the comic shop this week.

Anyone else pickup the Season 8 "Tales of the Vampires" issue? I didn't care for it.

Also pretty disappointed in Ultimate Spider-man 133. Part of the appeal of the Ultimate universe for me was not having to pick up 5 different titles every week just to know what the heck was going on. But then they decided to pull this "Ultimatum" nonsense and I've been trying to just keep up via Ult. Spidey, but I find myself not caring very much. And now it looks like they may have killed off Ultimate Peter Parker, which is just WTF!?! Apparently they're planning on relaunching the book or something. I don't know if I'm going to even bother keeping up with it. My pull list may be down to just Buffy.

Yeah, it wasn't that great.

I finally own all the Powers trades, so I'm re-reading and catching up. I forgot how funny this book is.

I JUST got into Fables, holy crap how awesome is that. I'm at the 7th TPB arabian nights (and days) and I'm hooked. I feel like a junky looking for another hit.

Heh. Yeah, it's a pretty good series. Although I've recently considered giving it up, I don't know. I'm not sure how long Willingham really wants to keep it up. I am curious about how The Great Fables Crossover is going to end, though. Maybe that will give some indication of whether he has a long-term plan past the point where he could/should have effectively ended the series.

Not quite there yet. I like crossovers in general though so I'm looking forward to getting there though. Have to admit though I'm more into the snow/bigby storyline than anything else and have felt a bit deprived at this point.
