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.

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

ACK ACK ACK!!!!
Sorry about that.

You always do this. We get tipsy, and you take advantage of my love of the scientific method.
No problem. Fortunately, you were clear enough in the first sentence about what it was, so I managed to avoid being spoiled myself while I was whiting it out.
