Gwen: Demon, OK? The whole nine—cloven feet and horns and teeth. He wasn't wearing lamé though. Lorne: Yeah, the evil ones can't pull it off. It gets camp.

Matt, we're on Spring Break here and my comic shop had TONS. If you can't find one let me know -- I'll pick one up for you.

Thanks! Hopefully I can get one in Memphis by the weekend, but I can't recall ever actually receiving a comic I attempted to re-order through the Jonesboro shop.

What is even happening?

I went to my comic shop, asked for it, and the man said it was sold out. I said, "But you were holding two for me."

He said, "Cynthia?"

I said, "Yes." He took out a little brown bag that already had my name on it, showed me it contained two copies. I said, "Good thing, because I really didn't want to come back down here with a wooden stake."

He laughed. "This is series. Do you want me to reserve two copies for you, each time?"

"Yes. Do I officially have a 'pull', now?"

"What?"

"A pull. Do I now have a pull?"

He laughed. "Yes."

And now I'm home with my preciousssssssssssssssssssssss.

Excuse me while I go lick the bestest retcon in the world, right here in the second panel on page 3.

Oh, I read too fast.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.

I haven't gotten the comic yet, but I've read page 3. Bestest retcon in the whole world ever. Actually made me jump up and down, and I don't do that.

I already knew about it, Zen. I'm pretty sure that's what made me order two issues instead of one. One to save, one to lick. *

Oh, I have a nit to pick with Joss. I'm so glad to have a nit to pick with Joss, that I might even lick it.

Buffy is talking to herself, right after she says, "I miss my home." She then says, "I miss my mom. I miss the gang. And churros. And sex. Great muppety Odin, I miss that sex."

"Great muppety Odin," is a great line to come out of Xander's mouth. Out of Buffy's? Not so much.

But it's okay, because it is here, and it is mine.

sumi, I'm wondering who Amy's boyfriend is, too. The cheese line cracked me up. Hasn't the military learned they're no match for Buffy Summers?

Does anyone know what a thricewise is? I mean, is it a term common to some mythology, or something? I'm curious as to who/what did the deed with Dawn.

Great muppety Odin makes no sense at all. Funny though.

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?

makes no sense at all. Funny though.

Correct, and therefore Cindy is quite right.

Art Crawl!!!

I have no idea what a thricewise is - - want to know. Want to know now. Want issue 2 NOW.

Unusually and exceedingly peculiar and altogether quite impossible to describe

I was assuming that a thricewise is some sort of witch/warlock/mage/mega-spell-casting dude.

LOVE almost all of it. The Buffy narration/dialogue was spot-on, and the Xander narration/dialogue was spot-on. I want to know where Giles (and here is some spoiler space so that people can't guess by the length what name is there) is, though.

I got the dragon cover!
