Is anyone still reading the Buffy comic, or did everyone bail after the cosmic fucking?

I came really close to calling it quits after Buffy's continued sex daydream in the middle of Spike explaining something the seed. But I'm going to gut it out until the end. I just don't get it, though. Maybe it will come to me before it's over.

If they're going for a season 9, I'll buy it. Because I keep hoping.

I think I'd probably have dropped it if I didn't have the a half dozen issues already. I'll read through to the end of the "season" at this point, but the shine of "New Buffy!" has definitely worn off and I'm starting to feel Joss' vision of Buffy and comicbooks aren't very mixy things. I know I gave up on the Angel Season 6 comics pretty quickly. Do those explain Spike's bug-crewed UFO thingy?

Oooh, AV Club has a series where people go back and review classic series, ep by ep on DVD.

If you haven't seen their Buffy reviews, it's quite fun to see an unspoiled person going through the series. I know some of you folks are rewatching so it might be fun to check in with them.

But they just announced some new shows added to their classic reviews including Batman: The Animated Series. Cool beans!

(They're also doing Undeclared.)

Thanks for the head's up, Hec. I just read through the first season, and that was great. I love reading the fresh, relatively unspoiled perspective.

Young Justice: The pilot was a little too testosteroney, but it looks like they're addressing that in the regular series. I hope that Connor isn't this broody all the time. I'm really liking Aqualad, though.

Agreed on all counts. Still wish we were getting a true Young Justice cartoon, but I think I'm going to enjoy this one.

ETA: I haven't read any of the Damien Wayne stuff, so maybe that's where they got it from, but this seemed like a new take on Robin: cackling from the shadows/hacking everything in sight/expecting the rest of the team to keep up rather than coordinating things (other than the bit at the end).

Don't want to edit again. Did we know Alan Tudyk was voicing Green Arrow?

Different voice director (Jamie Thomason?), though, so Andrea Romano isn't any closer to completing here FF voice-actor set.

Speaking of voices, I didn't realize Aqualad was voiced by the same guy who did Cyborg until someone pointed it out elsewhere. (I knew he sounded familiar, but I couldn't place it.)

I think I stuck around through two issues of the cosmic fucking, mostly out of WTF-induced shock. But then the end of an issue was a huge glamour shot of Undead Fonzie and that gave me the strength to drop the series in disgust.

Anyone else been watching Avengers? Wasp cracks me up. Thor and Wasp fighting MODOK and going on and on about his giant head amused me to no end.

Spider-Man: I thought everyone already knew Spider-Man’s identity… but I suddenly can’t remember it and Googling just isn’t workin for me. Can anyone remember?

LOVE this one:

Galactus: A bathroom attendant living in Queens, apparently. Pretty predictable really.
