I stood around in Comic Relief yesterday reading Alice in Sunderland - it was amazing and completely absorbing.
Oh, yes! That review I linked to upthread made it look fascinating.
We killed a homeless man on this bench. Me and Dru. Those were good times. You know, he begged for mercy, and you know, that only made her bite harder.

So, this is where we talk about the SPN Origins comic? Because the CW has a preview on their website here: [link]
Should I whitefont this? I guess I should.
I don't think I'm competent to comment on the art, but the character stuff is interesting. Sam is very young in this--six years old, right?--but still very ignorant, and it's interesting that Dean's hiding from him the facts of Mary's death. Telling Sam his mother died in a car accident, while simultaneously not hiding from him the other supernatural facts of life, is a little odd.
OTOH, I thought John's dialogue was spot-on, and sounded just like JDM, even if the art looked nothing like him. Dean was a bit too woobie-ish, I feel, but also just 10-11, so I guess it works.

The preview's the extra story, as I recall. Separate from the main one. Hester's art works for me and Johns does a good job with The Young and the Angsty. Which, of course, he's honed on TT. I have deeper thoughts, but I'm inarticulate today.

The lost sheep grow teeth, forsake their lambs, and lie with the lions.
Does anyone know how I'd find out if SPN: Origins is being distributed in the U.K.? A 'cross-the-pond friend of mine has just become hooked on the show (mainlined all of S1 and S2 in the space of a month), and I want to let her know if she can get hold of issues there.

Art Crawl!!!
The comic is published by Wildstorm which is an imprint of DC - if DC is as major a comic book publisher in the UK as it is here. . . she should probably be able to find it.

Anne, it's available at Forbidden Planet, so it should be available everywhere. [link]

We won’t stop until everyone is gay.
OMG, the Buffy #6 cover. There just might be major squee happening over here.
Looking forward to the SPN stuff, too.
