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.
Tara: What's so bad about them coming here? Aren't they good guys? I mean, Watchers, that's just like whole other Gileses, right? Buffy: Yes! They're scary and horrible!

Other Media 2: It's Astounishing!

We are Buffistas. This isn't our first apocalypse. -- Pix
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.

So come, my friends, be not afraid/We are so lightly here/It is in love that we are made; In love we disappear
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.

And Supernatural Origins #1.
Which is why Tomorrow, I Go Pick Up My Pulls.
Hey! By then, I'll even be mostly caught up in some titles!
