A ghost? What's the deal? Is every frat on this campus haunted? And if so, why do people keep coming to these parties, cause it's not the snacks.

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

Any bets on who would be hackish or arrogant enough to take that on?

Willingham? Mark Waid?

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!

Ooh, I found Brad Meltzer's first Buffy issue rather enjoyable. It was fun and cute, and the dig at Joss's love of Kitty Pryde was amusing. And while I wasn't really on board with Buffy having fucking superpowers, the scenes were entertaining, and the fact that she's gaining power from dead Slayers is pretty cool and interesting.

Also, while I almost always prefer Jo Chen's painted covers, the variant cover is awesome.

Oooh, nice bit of iconography.

And Buffy's earned that comparison.

Yeah, I usually go for the Chen covers but there are a few where I just had to go for the alternate (the Harmony issue comes to mind of the top of my head).

GS: If you had to choose between kicking evil in the head or the behind, which would you choose, and why? Minsc: I'm not sure I understand the question. I have two feet, do I not? You do not take a small plate when the feast of evil welcomes seconds.

Posting here as I'm not sure where we actually discuss webcomics.

I'm ridiculously tempted to tag the opening line of today's Sluggy Freelance: [link]

but I haven't actually seen Avatar yet.

That was a good one as well.

Aw. I used to read Sluggy, but then I fell behind. Haven't read it in years. Nice to see it's still going. Hey, Torg! How ya doin'?

Loved the Tick reference. And Dawn and Amy both having the same belated realization of what Buffy and Xander were doing. And Dawn's repeated cries of "Monkey's Paw!"

To understand what happened at the diner, we shall use Mr. Papaya! This is upsetting because he's the friendliest of fruits.

For those who might have missed this month's issue of "Mighty Avengers":

Moonstone: "I've been 'reality-punched'? That's the stupidest @#%* thing I've ever heard of."

Victor - I don't follow that comic but that's one of the funniest @#%* things I've read is a while.
