I finally got this month's Buffy. Was the repetitive use of the word spike a great big hint or a great big red herring?
Also how awesome was the letter from "Raki"?
Time for some thrilling heroics.

"Fuck Western ideologically-motivated gender identification!" Sulu gasped, and came.
Aw, cheers, Plei. I'm, er, amusing myself by writing a ::cough::J2::cough:: variation on Notting Hill; but I'm making the bookshop into a comic shop, so the comic stuff is liable to crop up throughout. But if you don't mind, I'll sling it over to you when I'm done.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
So, in Archie 600 he's marrying Veronica in a six issue event. Which I'm assuming gets back to the status quo by #606.

Oh, Archie. How COULD you?
This event has spurred many collectors to *destroy their collections*, apparently. It was on local news on Monday.

Destroying their collections?
That's what the news said. "Many" may be an exaggeration. SEVERAL I would believe.
I did find 3 auctions on Ebay of entire Archie comic collections. Irked collectors ditching the entire franchise.
I think it's a bit goofy. But then, I am not a comic collector. I'm a fan of Neil Gaiman (specifically), Frank Miller (specifically), and anything where the Joker gets good lines. That's *it*.
