That's why I picked the dragon cover, actually -- the semi-photorealism of the other one was jarring.
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.

You all, I had the exact same reaction when BF brought home the Buffy comic for me on Friday. I too terribly missed Buffy, the verse and everything. (sigh)
Cindy, I'm right there with you regarding comics as a medium. This will take some getting used to. I will do it for Joss. I am not sure I will do it for anyone else. But I'm on board for Serenity and Angel comics by Joss. He might as well just ask me to back up a van of $$.

All the comix stores in KC were out. I am backordered.
And I bought the Fray anthology. Were there only 8 books?

Now tagless for your comfort.
Yes, Erin, there were only 8 in the series. Unfortunately.

I sent Tom out yesterday to fetch the comic for me. SO EXCITED! I devoured it, and then Tom read it, and I think I need to re-read.
This morning, while getting ready for work, I thought to myself "should I bring the Buffy comic in so that I can look at it while reading all the comments on b.org?"

I got my copies today. One of each cover. The comic book store guy was awesome when I walked in like the comics noob that I am. I'd read Cindy's spoilery recap on LJ (which was fab, by the way), and there it was right in front of me - new Buffy.
Mike ('cause we're on a first name basis like that now) said their Wednesday copies sold out immediately, but they'd gotten more in. It looked like they had about ten or so left today. I set up a, well, subscription is how they called it on the form, but pull, I guess. He was very solicitous (in a completely non-annoying way) and carefully explained the deal to the nice, clueless lady; it was kind of adorable.
My favorite parts were the non-linear self pity and the Xander/Buffy banter about the symbol.
Oh. I guess there's no need for whitefont since it's Monday? Well, just in case. Anyway, happy now. Very happy.

You always do this. We get tipsy, and you take advantage of my love of the scientific method.

You are correct.

To understand what happened at the diner, we shall use Mr. Papaya! This is upsetting because he's the friendliest of fruits.
So, we had some friends over the other day, and a friend of a friend came with, whom we'd met before, but didn't know well.
She saw our DVD collection, and asked if we were "Buffy" fans. We replied enthusiastically, and chatted about the show for a moment. Then she asked if we had heard Joss was going to do a "Season 8" in comics, to which I promptly fetched it from the other room.
The delight was palpable, and she promptly spent the next fifteen minutes or so engrossed in it.
It's so nice to see the joy people get seeing their girl again.
