You need to catch all the way up in BoP, mostly because I just want to squee about the Secret Six.

Can't do that until I go to the store, sadly.

I'm caught up in terms of what I already owned and hadn't read, though.

Tony Millionaire has done a Drinky Crow pilot for Adult Swim.

I'm thinking it won't catch on, but it is an accurate translation of the comic into cartoon.

The pilot will debut May 13th.

Buffy: Whoo hoo! Ethan!!!! Did anyone think THAT was who that booted flying guy was ? And at the end: Warren! Yucky.

Those are my deepest thoughts about the new Buffy. I will reread and possibly post more.

SPN: The curvy knife! Right? That's the one that Sam has in the pilot and is NEVER USED. Also, really liked Missouri. But then I like Missouri.

I also picked up Astounishing and Runaways but haven't read them yet.

I haven't headed out to pick up my copy of #3 yet, but sumi's first bit of white font just made me cheer out loud. YAY!

DH just IMed me to say he's on his way to Midtown to pick it up for me. He's the bestest DH ever!

sumi's woohoo is my woohoo. And it makes me wonder if someone has been lurking here and wishes they'd thought of victor's theory for what was up with Giles in season 7.

Also, I continue to not recognize Andrew from the artwork, and this time his behavior didn't really tip me off that it was him either. I do hope him and Warren get a lovely reunion time (waits for Matt to chime in on what the reunion should entail).

I hope they aren't going to be coy about what Willow was up to all year (as in, not ever tell us).

Now on to Astounishing...

Buffy #3 fell a little flat for me. It was entertaining 'n' all but my expectations of Joss are higher. However, page 3 of this issue WINS.

The final issue of 52, while not brilliant, at least gave the series more substance than a long preamble to 'Black Adam has a planet-wide tizzy laughably labled WWIII'.

In Previews (and ita) news - HOLY SHIT! - a new Martha Washington one-off by Miller & Gibbons called 'Martha Washington Dies'. Bloody hell. I hope Miller doesn't bugger up the Martha Washington saga like he did Dark Knight...

However, page 3 of this issue WINS.

Doesn't it, though?

I think Amy strikes me as a bit too powerful. Working up an assault that a castle full of Slayers can't fight off, holding her own in a magical duel with Willow, setting that magical boobytrap and being up to gloat about it after being stepped on... This sort of stuff I'd buy if it were Jasmine or one of the Senior Partners doing it, but the scale seems too big for Amy. I'd have preferred it if they limited her to what she did to Buffy and one sneaky tactic that takes Willow by surprise for the win.

I haven't read #3 yet, but that doesn't stop me from having a theory about Amy: She's not Amy, she's Amy's Mom.

Oh, that's an interesting theory. And really, Willow kind of suggests it in a roundabout way.
