Micole, I think we bullshit consensed that this is Comicsverse, inclusive of all media -- print, TeeVee, movies, etc.

Yeah, I probably do. Btw, Virgin Megastore in NOLA had Robin Year One on sale for 75% off. If you're near a Megastore you might want to swoop through their graphic novels section and see if you can find some bargains. I probably should've picked it up for the Buffista Comics Library.

Heh. Closest one is in Canada.

Not sure where to put this, but here is a letter I received. My appolgies if this has already been said. --------------- Hi again,

TV Guide has as its cover story this week "The 25 Top Cult TV Shows". _Buffy_ weighs in at #4.

Some interesting news about the next TV season from Ain't It Cool News:

To (mostly) recap, here's where the former Buffyverse writers have landed

so far:

Jeff Bell (Joss Whedon's co-writer on the spectacular just-aired "Angel"

series finale) is headed to "Alias."

Liz Craft & Sarah Fain (they scripted Hamilton's introduction in the

five-star "Underneath") have been asked to join "The Shield."

Steve DeKnight (he co-scripted the hilarious Italy-set "Angel" that aired

two weeks ago) is headed to "Smallville."

Jane Espenson ("Earshot," "The Replacement," "I Was Made To Love You"),

who worked on both "The O.C." and "Gilmore Girls" last year, is joining

"Tru Calling."

Drew Goddard (DeKnight's co-writer on "The Girl in Question") is headed to

"Alias."

Drew Z. Greenberg ("Him," "The Killer in Me," "Empty Places"), who was

scripting "Smallville" last season, is joining "The O.C."

Rebecca Rand Kirshner ("Help," "Touched"), a "Freaks & Geeks" vet who was

on "Las Vegas" this season, is joining "Gilmore Girls."

Doug Petrie ("As You Were," "End of Days"), who worked on both "Tru

Calling" and an aborted "Lost in Space" series for the WB this season, is

said to be taking the year off from TV next season to work on movie

projects (Petrie, some will recall, wrote "Harriet the Spy" and drafted an

early screenplay for "The Fantastic Four").

Buffyverse mastermind Joss Whedon, who wrote more "Angel" teleplays this

season than ever before, is directing the big-screen "Firefly" movie,

"Serenity."

Jane Espenson's joining "Tru Calling" is a good sign, methinks...

And finally, a tidbit which might indicate that the Buffy animated series may indeed live after all:

In the Thurs. May 20th edition of the Atlanta Journal Constitution, in the

"Peach Buzz" section where they talk about local celebrities, they

interviewed Alyson Hannigan's (she's originally from Atlanta) mother Emile

Posner, about an accident that happened in the audience during her

performance of "When Harry Met Sally"

As a side note at the end it reads:

'Hannigan's many "Buffy the Vampire Slayer" fans, take note: According to

Posner, who recently visited her daughterin London, the actress is

reprising her role of Willow. While Posner was in town, Hannigan was

recording some voice work for an upcoming "Buffy" animated series.'

Jane Espenson's joining "Tru Calling" is a good sign, methinks...

Possibly. Doug Petrie's episodes weren't any better than usual.

Rebecca Rand Kirshner ("Help," "Touched"), a "Freaks & Geeks" vet who was on "Las Vegas" this season, is joining "Gilmore Girls."

That's pretty cool. As I was going through my DVDs, I remembered liking most of her episodes and wondering why she wasn't as popular as some of the other writers.

I checked IMDb to see which episodes she wrote, and oh. Not a bunch of great ones, but she did do "Tabula Rasa."

---

joss mentioned the animated series in the EW interview too.

---

I've only got No Man's Land 1 so far, though the rest is inevitable I expect.

Heh. When I get home, I really ought to post the updated list of all my trades and graphic novels so everyone here understands what it means when you think, "Oh, I'll just pick up one."

It's like eating a potato chip laced with HEROIN.

Heh. When I get home, I really ought to post the updated list of all my trades and graphic novels so everyone here understands what it means when you think, "Oh, I'll just pick up one."

Yeah, me too.

I was explaining to a friend last night that the huge shelf in front of him? Was all since December, save for a core few.

---

Ple I really missed seeing you at the F2F. I had a Nightwing question for you.

---

E me the q.

Or ask here. Other people will have issues at hand.

---

I can't remember which issues it was in, but there are a duo of criminals and one has on what looks like a neck brace and his head is on backwards.

What's up with that?
