Spike ,'Sleeper'
Discussion of comics, graphic novels, and more. Except for capes. No capes!
Please use spoiler font for new releases until after the weekend following release.
Just read the latest Buffy and...what? Huh? Ooooookay.
Guess the two series are well and truly severed, unless there's another twist coming. Which is OK since I'll probably be dropping Angel entirely now that Willingham's writing it, but completely frells with the series 6 stuff Joss had a hand in.
I went looking for Y: The Last Man in my library today, and it's shelved in Non-Fiction. They have a whole complicated rationale behind it, but it seems to be basically about keeping it away from the kids.
(Note: I obviously haven't read it, so avoiding big spoilers would be nice.)
What other comics do they have shelved there?
I really need to finish that run. I forget where I stopped reading.
A few issues of Spiderman. Some stuff I didn't recognize. Almost all of the X-Men, Justice League, etc. stuff is shelved in the Teen section.

Graphic novels are in the 741.5 section, yeah. Or they're in the Teen Zone.

Booooo! Well, it's Vertigo, I guess, so.
So I watched the trailer for Batman — Under the Red Hood that was on the Justice League DVD. The most traumatic part about it? Seeing what Judd Winnick looks like. The dude is OLD.
Y: The Last Man
I'm just over halfway through this and loving it. My brother and I have discussed how this is a comic that would make a kickass TV series, preferably HBO/Showtime (otherwise it would have to be toned down a lot).
I mean seriously, they showed Judd talking, and I was like, "That's not the guy who was on the Real W--oh. Right..."
In other news, "Serenity: The Shepherd's Tale" will dock in stores this November.
