I almost picked up a copy of Spike Asylum and a very glossy Spike TPB--but it was very spendy and I wasn't sure about the quality of the writing.
I was under the impression that I was your big comfy blanky.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.
Also, Joss Whedon's co-writing/'directing' an Angel season 6 post-NFA series, it appears.
Seriously? Seriously?!
Guess they really didn't fade away.

Never fall in love with somebody you actually love.
Aye. I'm wondering if Joss will reuse the Spike DVD premiere idea. Amy Acker spilled some of the details about that plot last year, t'was interesting.

Thrive to spite them
I read it! My show! (which is now my comic book!) but oh, how I've missed you. It was just great. The artwork was good too (I have a really hard time getting around crappy art work).
Even though I spoiled myself by reading whitefont I misread some whitefont so I though that Warren was a given rather than speculation.

To understand what happened at the diner, we shall use Mr. Papaya! This is upsetting because he's the friendliest of fruits.
It's funny, so many of the previous Buffy comics have sucked so bad, the fact that it's actively good has been kind of overwhelming.
I mean, Tales of the Slayers and Tales of the Vampires had their points, but really, the only other Buffyverse comic that's knocked it out of the park for me was Fray.
This has been rewarding, and I'm hopeful about it keeping up.

There was also a Jane E. (I think it was Jane) one-off where the Scoobies speculated about what went down season 6 when Buffy went off to let Angel know she was alive that was pretty good, though I think the art was a bit dodgier than this new series.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset
Sail, the dragon cover isn't photo-realistic(ish), like the Buffy-alone one is. It's much more a "drawn" cover. FYI.
That's why I picked the dragon cover, actually -- the semi-photorealism of the other one was jarring.
Squeeeee! It was such a relief to flip through the first few pages and realize yes, it reads like Buffy. The voices, for the first time in years, are right there, sounding like themselves.

Totally. I think I actually squee'ed out loud (which is as dumb as it sounds) whilst reading the first ish because, you know, it's the characters. If that makes sense.

I like the Buffy picture better. I went ahead and got the lizard cover, but it didn't really catch me. Buffy and the Scythe? OTP.
