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 !!
Just keep walking, preacher-man.

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?

Oh, that bothered me. I rationalized that he had his back to her. But I'd have to look at those panels more carefully.
(Aww, Giles singing about Buffy just came up on my itunes.)
I really want to just grab my comic and re-read, right here, at my desk.

I just checked- it is. Still. Yeesh. I mean, I understand that the scene was necessary to show Xander's intrinsic understanding of Dawn's emotional state, but they couldn't have done that anywhere else? The splash punchline was that worth it?

Oh, the other thing I wanted to say is that there is an issue of the Runaways out called "Runaways Saga" that is a catch-up issue. Clearly, Marvel realized that people who don't normally read the Runaways might start with Joss writing it AND they wanted to celebrate/commemorate the completion of Brian K. Vaughn's run on the book - so there's that. It's a normal sized comic and is told by one of the main characters.

See? I gave everybody here an opportunity to tell me what a bad person I am and nobody did, because I fuckin' rule.
Dang! The huge massive comic book mecca in Berkeley is sold out already (Hec just stopped by to check), but, yay, our teeny local shop squeezed in between the greasy diner and the Indian diner on Irving still has a few. Of which they've set aside one of each cover for me to pick up at 5. Woot!

Now tagless for your comfort.
My comic shop had mine! Both issues. And I picked up the Runaways for good measure.
And pie. Since the pies-only bakery is up the street.
Mmm...new comics and pie.

I can't get to the shop until Friday, boo! But in theory there's one of each cover in my box, yay! Can't wait, can't wait. Except, have to.

I can't wait until tomorrow when I can get mine! Which better be in my file.
