I rationalized that he had his back to her. But I'd have to look at those panels more carefully.

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.

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!

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.

Comic book boyfriend got me mine. I'm to meet him tomorrow to get it. Yay!

Buffy: EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE! *wf* Dream sequence! Sparkly Willow! *wf*

Runwaways(I'm not buying, just tachiyomi and waiting for the trades.) *wf* Kingpin! Punisher! *wf* Woo!

Oh, and I finally got the second issue of Jeff Smith's Shazam!, etc. WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!

The last page of the second Buffy issue is pretty awesome. Also, the rest of the Buffy issue.

Buffy was having sex dreams about Xander? Was that based in reality?

I thought it was. . .
