"...and then Legolas and the Hulk destroy the entire Greek army." - Penny Arcade

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?

Also *wf* Warren? *wf*

"We are the Goon Squad and we're coming to town...Beep! Beep!" - David Bowie, "Fashion"

Read the first Buffy Season 8, and what everyone else said on missing her something fierce. This may motivate a serious re-watch.

Does anyone else think we're going to have a little...

I'm going with a big "yea" on that, given the Nick Fury banter, which I adored.

Chrismg, on your whitefont, I'm not sure what you're referencing - please to explain.

I think Amy's boyfriend was in the other cell that the General was recoiling from. Hoping it's NOT Oz, but I'd love to see him show up at some point (maybe at the Sunnydale Canyon with a "Huh." as we always wanted.

Where the frell is Willow? It sounds like they've lost contact with her (as opposed to Giles, though I'm curious what's up there as well). Other folks I want APBs on: Faith, Principal McHottie (besides being busy as President of the United States). Hopefully MIA: Kennedy.

As for the Fakeout maybe it's Riley?

runs away

That's the pain / That cuts a straight line down through the heart / We call it love

I teared up when I opened up Buffy.

Oh, me too, or near enough. It was a very emotional moment!

My friend who runs the local comic book store told me that Buffy outsold every other comic that week (at least in his store), including a major event with Captain America (not sure if I need to be vague about that...). Me, gazing down at Buffy holding the axe: "That's my girl."

I thought the major Captain America event was last week.

What is even happening?

I just read reports that it's highly likely Veronica Mars will be cancelled (or at least radically altered). But my Buffy was sitting on the desk, right next to my mouse hand, and she's got her scythe, and her courage, and she told me she'd always be my girl.

Um.

Unusually and exceedingly peculiar and altogether quite impossible to describe

she told me she'd always be my girl.

She just needed a little bit of a break.

she told me she'd always be my girl.

oh that totally made me tear up

chrismg, you are thinking Warren is who they were referrring to as Amy's "boyfriend"? That's what a number of people in my group were guessing as well.

Art Crawl!!!

Ooh, that's a very interesting idea. . . but wasn't he flayed????? Indicating that he's been dead a year? Or do you think that she magicked him back into existence ?

Punishingly Intricate

Well, if he's still flayed he would be horrifying, like the army dudes thought he was. But, yes, the people betting that it was Warren figured Amy had magicked him back to life.

I hope it's not him though because it would cheapen the impact of Willow having murdered, you know?

I seriously need to rewatch seasons 6 & 7. I'm forgetting what all happened.
