'Shindig'
Discussion of comics, graphic novels, and more. Except for capes. No capes!
Please use spoiler font for new releases until after the weekend following release.
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?

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
Heh. I've socialized with Heidi MacDonald, Gary Groth and Harlan Ellison.
Harlan is a hoot.
HAPPY FREE COMIC BOOK DAY!!!
Nice guide to FCBD by Doug Wolk: [link]
Oh yeah!
FCBD! Which is also Sale Day at my local store. Gah. EVIL!
Damn it. I just SPENT nine bazillion bucks on my backlog. But... TRADES!
I have Runaways #25 and #26, a burning oost to read, very little willpower and zero backstory.
I have Runaways #26. Did Joss start writing with #25? My comic shop was busy, because of FCBD. The kids got Legion, Spider-Man, and Transformers. Scott bought a Mad Magazine book. I got the free BSG #0, which is a flip book with The Lone Ranger. I finally picked up my BtVS S8 #3, too (and got one of the variant covers -- which is Willow and Xander assembling a giant Buffy puzzle. Now, I'm off for my seven minutes in heaven, with it.
Cindy, he did start with #25.
BtVS S8 #3
Oh, page 3. That's what everyone was talking about. And look at j wee wee in the dream space. Ha!
Ethan Rayne does look right -- looks too young. In a couple of panels, I had to remember he wasn't Xander (the ones where he's quite small).
Giles ! Finally, Giles . I take it that's supposed to be Andrew holding the hand of cards ?
I think that either Xander or Willow kissed her. Probably Xander.
So, that thing was Warren. I am not surprised, but ewwww .
Now I have to go back and read what everyone else said. Mostly, I'm thinking these better start coming out every week, or they'd better start being twice as long, because it's not satisfying. The story is good, but it feels like perpetual teasing, with each issue.
