In my dearest dreams, I would love for Neil Gaiman and Tim Minear to collaborate on a sequence of episodes for AtS.

It would be even better if Dave McKean joined them to design monsters & sets.

I finally picked up a copy of Drawing on Your Nightmares which introduces the Tales of the Vampires. Comments: Weird. I read that Joss wrote it - nope. Brett Matthews w/ art by Sean Phillips. There are no Jossverse characters at all I'm pretty sure. It looks different than any Buffy/Angel/Fray comic I've ever seen. The story isn't bad - but it's your average "how I got vamped" thing. But again, these ain't our vamps, I'm pretty sure. I've read that the comic will follow Buffyverse vamps - I just don't see them here.

"Don't think of yourself as an organic pain collector racing towards oblivion." Dogbert to Dilbert

Sorry to post this late, but Buffy # 62 came out yesterday, the next-to-last issue of the monthly series.

I found it to be interesting, and it actually had some interestingly disturbing horror visuals - a surprise in this book. Also, the action wasn't as straight-forward as past issues have shown, which is a good thing (but perhaps a tad confusing) in my book. If the monthly had more moments like these, I think it would have been a stronger title. However, they probably had to tone down horror elements for the franchise at 20th Century Fox's behest, and don't have to worry so much now that the book is ending.

Who? moi??

This isn't exactly another media, but does another country count?

The BBC has also commissioned a British-based spin-off of the Buffy show, called The Watcher, which Buffy's creator, Joss Whedon, is writing. Now that Head is back at home with his partner Sarah Fisher and their two daughters, he hopes to divide his time between acting and working with animals that have behavioural problems.

Woe to the fucking wicked.

Hey, all. I'm trying to figure out which Fray(s) I haven't read (my brother currently has mine). How does 7 end?

You always do this. We get tipsy, and you take advantage of my love of the scientific method.

How does 7 end?

Fray gets swallowed by a big snake.

Woe to the fucking wicked.
