Lorne: Snakes? Uh-huh. And they came out of your what? Okay. Okay, well, did they get up there themselves or is this part of a, you know, a thing? No, I'm not judging...Do we fight snakes? Angel: Only if they're giant. Or demons. Or giant demons. Are they giant demon snakes? Lorne: Well, unless this guy's 30 feet tall, I'm thinking they're of the garden variety.

A turkey in every toilet -- only in America!

Thanks. How many issues is Joss doing?

Never fall in love with somebody you actually love.

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

"Either it's murder, or this library has a very strict overdue policy."

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.

I have Buffy S8, #2 in my hands. Envy ME!

I decided to give Runaways a pass for now (I bet there'll be a TPB), as I don't know any of the characters or the backstories.

Now tagless for your comfort.

If I don't get a call from my comic store TODAY, there will be trouble.

What is even happening?

I know. I haven't gotten my e-mail, yet.

I just picked it up, along with Book 3 of The Dark Tower.

I am currently made of flail. That's Spike, right? In the dream? Right?! Also, if Amy's boyfriend turns out to be Adam I think I might weep with annoyance. For the record, I'm totally over Giant!Dawn. Or any Dawn, really.

I should note that the lovely guys in my local shop told me they only received half of the copies they ordered. They...aren't looking forward to tonight.

Yeah, I got into my nearest Newbury Comics right after noon, when they bring out the new comics, and they had two small stacks of each cover. There were more of the one Runaways issue than there was of both covers of Buffy. Methinks if I'd waited until the afternoon, I would have been SOL.

Art Crawl!!!

I have mine -- oh and I love it. I laughed outloud at Xander's comment when Dawn splashed him. I'm still not recognizing Amy w/o prompting. And it was lovely to see Giles and Willow. Also - it's Sleeping Beauty Buffy !!

Me, too, but I'm trying to figure out why it's not bothering anyone that Xander's basically watching Dawn bathe, and apparently thinks nothing of it. I mean, it's Xander. Just me?
