Just picked up my Buffy comic at lunch. I totally agree that we need some movement on the Dawn story -- and for her to actually TELL somebody what happened. She seems to be indicating that it wasn't the Thricewise's fault. I also hope that Faith is successful but seriously, was the plan really for Faith to kill the slayer with a stake? In the receiving line ? Why didn't Giles tell her it was a suicide mission !
It's possible that he's in the land of perpetual Wednesday, or the crazy melty land, or you know, the world without shrimp.

You should know I'm a big deal in the Resistance.
It looked like a pretty nasty knife she had hidden in her hair to me. But yeah I think she was just supposed to bash her way out of there and I assume there was some sort of high speed transport at the rendesvous point. It does seem pretty naive of Giles to think Faith would stick to the plan.

Well, that and it really seemed more like an Angel sort of plan rather than a Giles plan.

Now tagless for your comfort.
Oh, great. Now I'm thinking that since Faith was trying to get a passport, that Giles is thinking she needs to be "retired" permanently. Henceforth, the suicide mission. We know he's capable of this kind of decision making, afterall. Does the yellow submarine sweater indicate going evil the way that Angel's leather pants do?

As far as I can tell Giles has never worried too much about whether his actions were squarely on the side of good. It did occur to me that he wouldn't mind too much if Faith got killed and that was probably a factor in why she was chosen for this particular mission.

There are certainly better candidates for Eliza Doolitttling than Faith, that's for sure.

Buffy #7: I'm glad to see the Mystery Symbol making a reappearance. I can't tell if the baddies we have met so far is working for Gigi or if she's getting her strings pulled.

OK, comics ninjas, I'm searching for a specific issue of a relatively recent Superman comic. It's part of a series wherein Supes is infected by something and getting sicker, Lois has been acting bitchy until it's revealed she's an imposter of some sort and the real Lois has been missing for ages. Superman goes to the best detective he can think of: Batman.
It's a terrific issue, with Superman getting pissy about why Batman doesn't show any emotion, until Batman quietly tells him about some of the things he's seen and how he doesn't dare get emotional, and Batman is thinking about how often searches for missing people end up badly.
I think I own it in one of the myriad comics boxes, but I'm looking it up for someone online.
