I liked the Spike'n Dru in Prague story in "Tales of the Vampires" -- do we know when the next book comes out?

test confimed!
You saw two new, I take it?
Yes. In Angel quotables too.
One of my favorite Christmas presents was a gimongous coffee table book about the Marvel universe. It is written with much fanboy love. I had NO IDEA that Howard the Duck was a Marvel comic character!
Actual Jossverse content:
I bought Tales of the Vampires #1 this weekend. I liked it...the second Joss story (the last in the book) was good - it got lots of bonus points because of the LotR-related geekery, though.
UltimateDrew's Spike and Dru story had some really beautiful language but - for being such a HUGE part of the Spike/Dru story - (what happened in Prague right before they came to Sunnydale) it didn't really hold up for me.
Has anyone else read 1602 #5? I fee the need to squee over the tiny cartoon Neil on the first page.
And the story was pretty good, too.
Feel free to squee, Holli. It's been out for a while now.

I finally started taking all my old comics out of my sister's attic when I was home for Christmas. Among the boxes was my complete original set of Howard the Duck. Great book. The movie was a terrible injustice.
The movie was a terrible injustice.
One of the great things about this book is that it goes through EVERY single incarnation of the main Marvel characters with absolute detail - every bad TV show, unreleased movies and episodes. It leaves nothing out as far as that stuff is concerned. There are many a snarky comment about the HtD movie - but it doesn't keep them from mapping out what happened to the character in the movie. I've learned a lot and I've only really carefully read the Spidey chapter.
it didn't really hold up for me.
I am interested to hear why it didn't hold up for you. I really loved the Spike and Dru story.
