"There are few hours in life more agreeable than the hour dedicated to the ceremony known as afternoon tea."

I actually signed up for a box at the comic book store today. It's just for Runaways and Buffy right now.

Buffy 3: It looks to me like Amy is somehow using Ethan's power (supplemented by Warren's tech, somehow, or the Initiatives, or both), which is how he got into Buffy's dream, through a backdoor from Amy's dreamspace. That "more of an ancient Roman than a Dane", some kind of Shakespearean reference?

GS: If you had to choose between kicking evil in the head or the behind, which would you choose, and why? Minsc: I'm not sure I understand the question. I have two feet, do I not? You do not take a small plate when the feast of evil welcomes seconds.

I enjoyed Buffy #3, but it felt very disjointed to me. I kept thinking I was missing pages because they kept having stuff happen "off-screen" like Whoever kissed Buffy and Willow and Buffy's conversation before Xander showed up and then having characters react to it. Very annoying.

"There are few hours in life more agreeable than the hour dedicated to the ceremony known as afternoon tea."

-t I just googled that line, because it sounded familiar to me too, and Horatio says it in Hamlet while attempting to drink poisoned wine so he can die with Hamlet.

Art Crawl!!!

-t, do you think that Ethan is still imprisoned by the initiative and that's why he is undermining their scheme ?

Interesting, sj. I don't know what it means, if it means anything, but it's something to think about.

I hadn't fleshed it out that much, sumi, but I like it.

Can anyone recommend a catch up to Runaways? (Board, blog, website, yada)

I have Runaways #25 and #26, a burning oost to read, very little willpower and zero backstory.

Should I just jump straight in, or do I need some stinkin' context?

What is even happening?

Bring your own context. Or wait, is that subtext? Never mind. I just wanted to talk to Julie. And now I have.

Kalshane is me. Scenes kept jumping around too much.
