If every vampire who said he was at the crucifixion was actually there, it would have been like Woodstock.

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.

Just because I looked this up two minutes ago...Brian Bolland cover gallery for the Invisibles.

It's my favorite transgendered shaman!

Now tagless for your comfort.

Thanks, Jon. I nearly had a heart attack until I read the first link.

My comic shop had to re-order their re-order.

Never fall in love with somebody you actually love.

The Buffy comics have certainly helped cement Joss as being able to use comics to tell a story and it be highly profitable. I'm not surprised the run has been extended to 50 issues (4 years!).

Tell you what, that makes me very, very happy. I was hoping for maybe a year's worth of comics. This is just fan-fucking-tastic.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.

Wow. That's fantastic!

Is JW committed to overseeing the entire run, or just the first X issues?

You know, we could experiment and cancel football.

I can't imagine he would let it out of his control now.
