I got mine yesterday but haven't had a chance to read it. My friend R who works at the shop was teasing me about my Buffy love.
The only two comics they were sold out of were Captian America and Buffy.
Joyce: Dawn, you be good. Xander: We will. Just gonna play with some matches, run with scissors, take candy from some guy, I don't know his name.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.
OMG I still haven't got my comic. Please don't make me go down to the local comic shop.

What's TFAW saying?

TFAW hasn't emailed me about any problems. Unless that "it'll be late" email was about them specifically. That would suck. Dammit.

Another social casualty...
The message I received from TFAW on 3/7 said the following:
****
Thank you for ordering Buffy Season Eight #1 However, we need like to let you know that shipments for this title will be slightly delayed.
Originally scheduled to ship on March 7th, a problem at the printer has caused a delay in our shipment. With this change, we will begin shipping issue #1 to advance order and subscription customers on March 21st.
We would like to apologize for any inconvenience this may cause you. However, this means that you'll still be able to order any additional copies at our 20% OFF ADVANCE ORDER DISCOUNT until then! We're also still taking orders for a special edition Buffy 8 #1 VARIANT COVER (pictured right), limited to one copy per customer!
We thank you for your patience as you await this much-anticipated title, and look forward to bringing you the next installments of Season Eight.
****
So, I'm still waiting for mine too.

You know, we could experiment and cancel football.
I got the same message from TFAW, but I couldn't wait so I went out and bought the variant cover.

Yep, that was it. I can't figure why this printer delay only affected TFAW. I might go out and buy the variant cover. If it stops snowing.

"...and then Legolas and the Hulk destroy the entire Greek army." - Penny Arcade
lisah, that's right. It was the comment about "access to a weapons lab" that made me think so. Warren's one of the few characters who's more hardware-oriented than mystical.
Although, hm. Adam also fits that description, and at least he didn't wind up incinerated.

Frankenbuddha, that was my other guess!
