I teared up when I opened up Buffy. Sitting at the stoplight waiting for it to turn green. Just seeing her again. Fuck, have I missed her.
Giles: I jump out of the circle, jump back in, and, and, shake my gourd. Buffy: Hey, I think I know this ritual. The ancient shamans were next called upon to do the Hokey-Pokey and to turn themselves around.

I picked up two copies, one with each cover, because I couldn't decide. My store has a ton if anyone needs me to send them one.

I forgot to ask about alternate covers. I think I'll have to go back tomorrow and see if they've got any of the dragon covers left (I got the Buffy cover, which is fine, but I like the thought of a dragon.)

Unusually and exceedingly peculiar and altogether quite impossible to describe
Sail, the dragon cover isn't photo-realistic(ish), like the Buffy-alone one is. It's much more a "drawn" cover. FYI.

Oh, that's fine with me. It all depends on my mood anytime I get a comic as to which one I prefer. I alternated back and forth a lot with the old Buffy comics as to which one I bought.

Remember, remember/the fifth of November/the Gunpowder Treason and Plot/I see no reason/Why Gunpowder Treason/Should ever be forgot.
So the overprint was blown through, faster than they expected, and they are doing a new cover from the reprint. Or altered cover, or something.

You mean a third cover?

You know, we could experiment and cancel football.
Jon B, it will be the Chen cover without the left side and bottom frame. The art will cover the entire cover.

Slightly more coherent now--
I liked it. My criterion for media-based books and comics is, "Can I hear the actors saying the lines?" And with this, especially Xander's lines, I definitely could.
Although -- People all over the world are acquiring superpowers at a young age. The comic follows a group of these people and their hangers-on, as they find and train them, either to handle their powers and return to a normal life, or join one of the many teams of senior heroes and fight bad guys. Also, the main team leader has a history of significant others who turn evil, come back from the dead, or both.
Wait -- what was I talking about again?
