'Jaynestown'
Discussion of Buffy and Angel comics, books, and more. Please don't get into spoilery details in the first week of release.
Of course, during the Excaliber years they changed her from a somewhat plain techie who still had some shyness issues into a fashion model with a penchant for katanas who more or less took over the leadership role from Captain Britain.
Yikes. Seems like a good thing they did a reset. That sounds like every bad World of Darkness character I've ever seen. Did they have her wearing a black trenchcoat and sunglasses at night, too?
Only alternate timeline evil versions. Though she did wear what amounted to a blue trenchcoat.
(I didn't mind them moving her into a sorta leadership role, by the way. She was clearly written as the smartest person on the team, and had more common sense than either Brian Braddock or Nightcrawler. I just object to every woman in comic books ending up looking like a vogue model.)
No, I meant geeky (I should have used a better word) for teenaged boys to associate themselves with her.
I'd say geeky but it worked. I don't think you'd ever get a teenage boy to say, "Man, I feel JUST like this teenage, mutant science-nerd girl!" But I think that was the effect anyway.

And Matt maps Excalibur!Kitty straight onto Buffy.
Maybe Joss meant that Kitty was an influence on Buffy-the-universe-concept and not Buffy-the-character, although normal-girl-with-powers does seem very Buffy.

For some reason I thought that 1602 and Tales of the Vampires were coming out today. . .they aren't but I went and looked on the website -- looks like Ben Edlund is writing a story and doing the cover for the next TotV.
It looks like 1602 #8 won't be out until March 31, at least according to the Marvel site.
When is the next Tales of the Vampires coming out? I didn't even know #2 was out when I got #3, and that resulted in me running around to several comics shops before I found one that had it in stock. I'd like to be ahead of the game this time.
It's coming out on the 17th.

Thanks for the info.
Help! I'm attending MegaCon this weekend (comic convention in Orlando), and I need someone to convice me that $60.00 for a Fiesta!Giles figure is too much.
In other news, I picked up a Dopplegangland Willow, and got Karl Moline to sign my copy of the Fray trade paperback. Too late to get a sketch from him, though.
The Spike figures I've seen look really bad.
