Yes, I do plan to skip around some.
Oh, good. Because, really, I was worried.
Buffy: He ran away, right? Giles: Sort of, more. turned and swept out majestically, I suppose. Said I didn't concern him. Buffy: So a mythic triumph over a completely indifferent foe? Giles: Well, I'm not dead or unconscious, so I say bravo for me.

So, this probably should be in lit, but the novelization of No Man's Land is really kind of excellent. Much better than a comic adaptation has any right to be. I was expecting the exposition to be clunky, but it wasn't. For those without the time to pick up the comics to get all the backstory, it's a damn good starting point.

I may have to seize the cat.
Because, really, I was worried.
No no. I'm a fan of continuity but a) I realize that comic universes rarely have that and b) I know better than to injure myself for it.
For example - I've read all of the Essential X-Men books, but I'm not about to run out and read every X-related book since the 1980s just to be ready for Joss's.

It's cool to find other people who know it. I'm still waiting to find out what the hell "KAOTIC CHIC" actually means.

Question for the Bats fans: is the GCPD that is coming out the beginning of a new arc?
I mean, would it be one to start off with?

Thrive to spite them
I found out when I went to read my comics this weekend that I accidentally bought Robin: Year one 2 of 4 instead of the whole thing. which frustrated me to no end and I forgot to take WW to the beach.
However I had plenty of time to linger over and reread what I had with me. And now I have questions.
But I need to about spoiler space? Do I need to use any?

askye -- I accidentally bought Robin: Year One book 1. So glad I'm not the only one to make that sort of error.
But then I went out and bought the TPB.

Oy.
This is gonna be an expensive week. I think half the stuff I read is coming out with new issues.
