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.

makes no sense at all. Funny though.

Correct, and therefore Cindy is quite right.

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

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!

And it's a great line to come out of Joss's mouth. If I were inclined to write RPF (which I'm not), I would definitely have the Joss character say that.

I miss the nits almost as much as the UST, HSQ, and the word-smithing, though. *pets nit*

The cover art is beautiful. I didn't see one with a dragon. Both of mine are of Buffy, alone, holding the scythe.

Joss had me from, "Hello." The first words are, * The thing about changing the world... Once you do it, the world's all different. I love that.

Buffy says there are 1,800 slayers that they've identified, and that 500 are working with them. Those 1,300 leave open a lot of p*tential for interesting stories.

I nearly cried, when I realized Xander was her Watcher. He's been in training all these years, hasn't he? I don't even know if it clicked that that was the story I was being told, until I saw sumi's post, above.

Joss is expressing his feelings about religion and the U.S. military in pure Jossian style. I love how the General describes Buffy as, "Charismatic, uncompromising, and completely destructive."

There's the pit that used to be Sunnydale. Oh, pit. Hi. Is it Amy that is down there? I found that part confusing. I mean, I know it's her at the end, but is that what came up behind the soldier in the pit, too?

"Xander's so stupid when he's right." Oh hi, Buff.

oh, good grief. I haven't even got the comic yet, and suddenly I realize how much I miss Buffy.

I shall get my comic tomorrow, thanks to my adorable, geeky, too-damn-bad-he's-gay co-worker. He passes by his comic store on a regular basis, and he's offered to add a second issue to his pull so he can pick both of ours up at once.

I cannot wait.

Cindy, I took from the comic that is was Amy in the pit who came up behind the soldier.

So, is her boyfriend the glowy ball she's holding in the last panel? Made me think of Dawn's origins.

Probably, Jon. Either that or * a cheese ball. *
