Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

I don't consider that detailed at all. It's just a general thing which people have brought up about previous issues, that I never felt so much. Until now.

"Don't think of yourself as an organic pain collector racing towards oblivion." Dogbert to Dilbert

I didn't mean to imply that your comment was detailed, ita. Sorry about that. It's just that I was about to go into a detailed discussion of what I thought about the issue, and then reminded myself to wait. I decided to post my reply in case others felt the same way.

Off to sleep now.

Remember, remember/the fifth of November/the Gunpowder Treason and Plot/I see no reason/Why Gunpowder Treason/Should ever be forgot.

SA, no other ToS one-shots are currently on the release schedule, but supposedly there is another anthology in the works.

S to the A -- using they/them pronouns!

The reason they labeled the Rachel O'Connor issue (with the fabulous Gene Colan art) is that Dark Horse may issue more one-shots, but it won't be on any kind of regular schedule.

Ah. Thanks. That kind of sucks.

Tales of the Vampires, yes?

I've been on the Y: The Last Man bandwagon since the beginning. I decided to give it a shot on the first issue and was really impressed with it. I hope it gets a good, long run.

Me too, Jeff! (The latest one - #10 - [the last page literally made me jump ] !!!) Pia was a smart and funny Bronzer, so I'm not surprised to see that come through in her work.

I've been very late coming to Comic Books. Chris Golden tried to teach me how to read them. (Well okay, I wasn't completely at the "then which panel?" stage, but I definitely had to be trained in getting something out of them.) But it wasn't really until Fray that I could differentiate why one might tell a story in a graphic novel, rather than say regular fiction. And then Joss' four shot Angel showed me why a comic book can be superior to the television.

Speaking of Golden, I'm getting a kick out of Ghosts of Albion (If there's some reason I shouldn't be, I'll stay right here on the ignorant side of the fence, thanks :)

Okay, see, I saw the premise and just *laughed.* I almost bought one, but then decided not to induldge in the male fantasy.

And you cannot imagine how thrilled I am that I do actually understand more of what is talked about in here.

That's the same reason why I didn't pick up the first issue of Y, but the premise is taken far more seriously, and I've been brought around on it.

The way the book has been written is decidedly not the male fantasy.

Diablo Robotico Up.

What are the chances, if any, that Buffy/Angel would ever make the Rubicon float over to the silver screen? Just a thought.

And if there ever were to be a Buffy: The Movie, what kind of activity do you all think would take place that can't make it on network tv? More gory fight scenes could be a possibility, more visceral shots of vamps feeding, I guess.

And of course I'm not counting the Kristy Swanson movie in my thinking here.
