Even while Astonishing is more big panels and sparse, I still got a bit let down by Buffy 8.01 at first. I wanted it to be dialogue heavy with banter between the characters and all that. And sure, it was, but not as much as I had hoped. During the last week, I've come to terms with the fact that Joss comic-voice is a lot more visual than his usual radio-on-TV.

Never fall in love with somebody you actually love.
Radio-on-TV is something I think Joss vowed Buffy wouldn't be. But, because it's TV, it often was.

Was this linked in here yesterday?
VATICAN CITY - Today the Roman Curia announced that the beatification of Neil Gaiman had been completed, putting the writer one step closer to the official recognition of his sainthood. These steps were carried out despite the fact that Gaiman himself has repeatedly denied being a saint, pointing out that he was not Catholic, not really religious and, most importantly, not dead.
"Really, I'm not dead," said Gaiman when reached at his home. "Not even the slightest little bit. This whole sainthood thing has become something of a bother, with little old women with rosaries joining the usual contingent of Goth girls holding vigils on the west lawn. If you happen to run into Pope Benedict XVI, please tell him that the whole thing is quite silly and somewhat inconvenient."

Only six. I'm saying only - I've no idea if Runaways is any good.

Runaways has been really good so far.
I didn't mean radio-on-tv in the bad way -- like Saturday Night Live for instance where they have to say everything that happens instead of showing it.
I mean in that characters and dialogue was more important than outrageous action and special effects. His comics are pretty much special effects bonanza.
