New Buffy AND Astounishing this week. Coooool.
I didn't create the troll. I didn't date the troll. In fact I hate the troll. I helped deflate the troll-- All done.
Willow ,'Potential'

Discussion of comics, graphic novels, and more. Except for capes. No capes!

No comments on the new Buffy? All I can say is poor Faith. I thought you'd gotten past all this stuff at the end of season 7.
Anyone else wonder if the voice she's hearing in her head isn't really her? I certainly got that impression when she told it to shut up.

Well, I am too broke to pick up comics this week - so I'll be getting mine next Thursday - i.e., payday.

Now tagless for your comfort.
I found a new comic book shop in my new home and the dude totally knew his stuff. When I was giving him my titles for a pull and I mentioned Buffy, he asked me if I wanted to add Angel: After the Fall to the list.
And when I told him I wanted Mice Templar, he asked if I wanted Mouse Guard, too.
I think I'm going to get good service here.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
That's wonderful, Cashmere.
I just started picking up Mouse Guard, myself (thank you, Unshelved). Is Mice Templar similar?
Haven't gotten Buffy #8 yet.

Mice Templar is a bit darker--I described it upthread as a cross between Excalibur and The Secret of NIMH. I'm enjoying both stories. I'm going to spring for hard cover Fall 1152 of Mouse Guard.

Oh! Glad I checked b.org before running errands. Am adding Blue Hen to the list.

Well, here's my attempt at an Anya for Buffy 8.8:
Previously on Buffy Faith Buffy the Vampire Slayer
Faith: This is my flashback episode, and it's still all about Buffy.
Gigi: I'm going to kill Queen Elizabeth and RULE a world of trashy schoolgirl outfits!
Faith: Didn't we settle the "Elizabeth" thing last issue?
Giles: Faith! Faith, can you hear me? If you haven't dropped your earpiece into a glass of champagne, just listen! We're coming to--
Gimlet, son of Groin: Not with this thing we're not. No hammer time for you.
Faith: Trust me Gigi, older men are pigs.
Gigi: I had noticed.
Faith: They always do stuff like make you have important, emotional conversations while lounging around in the nude. Hand me that loofah, willya?
Buffy: Hi, Willow! What've you got on tap?
Willow: Hey, Buff-Buff. For today, I've got exposition on a background plot-thread, with a moral dilemma chaser.
Buffy:POOF
Willow:...with a side order of comical dismay.
Buffy: You better watch it, buster, or I'll vomit on your shoes again!
Roden: There's a joke here about catspaws and catfighting, but let's just jump to the action, shall we?
Gigi & Buffy: (Insert Christophe Beck action music here)
Faith(tackles): HEY! Nobody steals my fighting-Buffy music!
Buffy: Faith? Y'know, you'd look great covered in jumping-to-conclusions sauce!
Faith: I dreamed about killing you.
Buffy: Glub blub Leon gluggle blubub Noel
Captions: Do it. DO IT. DOOOOOOOOOOOO IIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIT.....
Faith: SHUT UP CAPTIONS I WANT MY THOUGHT BALLOONS BACK!
Buffy: What? Wait, lets talk about this like sensible people.
Faith: ....I wish you'd disappear.
Buffy:POOF
Faith: .....
Faith: I WISH I HAD A BAZILLION GOLD PIECES!
Willow: And for dessert, a mis-timed rescue!
Buffy: After I finish horking my guts up I am so taking Giles out behind the woodshed.
Faith: I'm so tired, I could just lay down and....
Gigi: MY MASCARA YOU BITCH.
ETA:Spelling
Edited by DX to white-font spoilers until after the weekend.
