I enjoyed Buffy #3, but it felt very disjointed to me.
Kalshane is me. Scenes kept jumping around too much.
Xander: Look who's got a bad case of Dark Prince envy. Dracula: Leave us. Xander: No, we're not going to "Leabbb you." And where'd you get that accent, Sesame Street? "One, Two, Three - three victims! Maw ha ha!"

Slate has a fantastic picture-laden article about the darkened turn of Spiderman: [link]
Really reccomend it.

To understand what happened at the diner, we shall use Mr. Papaya! This is upsetting because he's the friendliest of fruits.
I actually signed up for a box at the comic book store today. It's just for Runaways and Buffy right now.
Yes, but they are canny at TE. Soon, they will throw a third title you'll like at you. (I swear, they have a "sixth comic book sense" or something there.)
Can anyone recommend a catch up to Runaways? (Board, blog, website, yada)
I just used the The Wikipedia entry.

Julie, I think the Ruaways Saga that brenda talks about a couple posts back is a catch-up for Runaways. I think.

They were already trying, but I didn't have time to stick around.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
I agree that some of the scene changes in Buffy were jarring this issue. Thought it was user error on my part, but probably not y'all's.

"There are few hours in life more agreeable than the hour dedicated to the ceremony known as afternoon tea."
I have actually thought that the scene changes were jarring from the first issue.

Now tagless for your comfort.

Yes, it is. Although it's in the form of a diary of an 11 year old girl so some of the context is lost. I bought it and enjoyed it. I have some vague idea of what's happened before but I also am researching characters a bit more online, too.

This is kind of "inside comics" but I've been giggling about it since Monday and it's only getting funnier now.
My favorite part lately is this bit from Harlan Ellison
if–like Ms. MacDonald–anyone chooses (sanely) to stay out of the way of this schoolyard brawl between Groth and me…to be evenhanded and as objective as one can be–like Ms. McDonald–when the combatants are two schmucks–as am me and Groth–but he more than I, of course, whaddaya think, I’m gonna be as fair as Ms. MacDonald, wakeup fer chrissakes, I’m SUING the guy

vanguard of the socialist Hollywood liberal homosexualist agenda
So despite attempts to draw it out, I've caught up to Buffy. Man, I've missed these guys. SO MUCH. I don't have a lot more coherent than that, though I agree that Andrew wasn't very recognizable . (not sure if that needs whitefont...)
Supernatural is taunting me, but I am resisting. Gotta string it out, make it last.
Man, I can't be addicted to comics already, can I?1?
