Interview with Paul Lee about the Buffy standalone.
I didn't find it spoilery.
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.

Well, I'm pretty sure that there are supposed to be new FF/Serenity comics. They just haven't happened yet.
Yeah, they're still on the cards. Last I heard was November for first ish.
It's set pre-Serenity, post Firefly.
I went ahead and ordered the Buffy Omnibus to scratch that completist itch in the easiest possible way and Volume 1 came today. It's all new to me (this volume, that is), which is nice, and apparently in chronological order rather than published.
New Comic and Pie Day consists of: Runaways #27, Supernatural Origins #3, Serenity: Those Left Behind TPB and a Happy Feet Cine-Manga for Owen.
The pie is cherry and pecan.
Ooh, I have a Runaways to pick up with my Supernatural!
Excellent.
Pfft. Black Canary #1 (DON'T MARRY HIM, DINAH, HE'S AN UNREPENTANT HORNDOG!), Nightwing #::mumblesomething::, and...that might be all.
Oh, I might have a Nightwing too.
Perhaps I'll look into Black Canary.
SPN #3:
Things I liked:
Surprisingly, I liked that Dean was going to leave, in order to get John to pay more attention to Sammy. Also loved that we got to Harvelle's so early, and the "wretched hive of scum and villany... just kidding" line. I love the Unknown Hunter telling John that he needs to turn his fear into anger and use it to face his foes. The telling moment of John putting down the shapeshifter. Poor little Dean, seeing his father become a killer.
Things I didn't like:
I know that Dean's only four or five at the time, but... he really doesn't remember Ellen, or the roadhouse, or any of it? Especially if John's going to be "like family"? (Which is a show line, not a comic line.) Also, I was going to say that I don't like that we're saying that Dean doesn't know anything about what his father does, but then I did the math, and he was 12 at the time. So, it doesn't bug me so much. (And it's all extra-canon, so I guess I shouldn't let it bother me at all.)
When is the next issue of Buffy season 8 coming out?
