How much did that SFX special cost?

$9.95 at Borders (never would have spent that if I hadn't had a gift cert.) In the mag. rack next to the sci-fi cult fan stuff.

I don't see what the worth of including the comics and the novels in such a timeline, since there are clear violations of canon throughout them.

What's nice is that everything is labelled as far as where it came from, so if one wanted to, one could take a medium point Sharpie and cross out all the entries that pertain to book and non-Joss/ME writer written comics. When one does that, one should be sure to let said marks dry as one does not want smudges all over their shiny new magazine thing.

A lot of the info for the timeline comes from the Tales of the Slayers series. Which I think of as "show" canon since it is written by the ME writing staff for the most part.

For some reason, all of this interests me. It's like a puzzle that needs solving.

Same here. You should get it. It's got a pretty well-written ranked episode guide to boot. But the interviews, especially the one w/Joss, are all BTDT. Not a lot to learn from them.

Oh and since it's a British pub there is endless fun in going "hey! that's not how you spell 'realize'!"

tina, did you buy this recently? we thought we had missed it. (we= amyth +me)

smonster - I bought it Monday of this week and there were a bunch. If you can't find it - lemme know and I can pick one up for you if they still have it.

Hey, smonster, please pass my hi to Amyth!

How weird is it that both the most recent Buffy comic and this week's Angel have scenes where other folks run across Angel nekkid and saluting? Particularly odd for a comic book, which I can't recall ever being quite that blasé about such a topic before. Not, mind you, that I'm complaining if this is a sign of a developing trend...

thanks, tina!

hayden, will do.

Matt, I figure that since the regular monthly Buffy series is coming to an end, editor Scott Allie is allowing writer Fabian Nicieza have been given freer reign than has been typical of the comic. I thought this last issue had some stonger horror visuals than usual.

It kind of bothers me that the source material (the TV series) was more mature than the comics. I guess the folks at Fox think that comics are for kids only.

Anyone know when the new 1602 comes out? Is it today or next week?

According to The New Comic Book Releases site, 1602 will be out on the 12th.

Thanks. For both the info and the link.
