Elder ,'Power Play'
Discussion of Buffy and Angel comics, books, and more. Please don't get into spoilery details in the first week of release.
Has there been any word on Vol. Two of the short stories version of Tales of the Slayer?
It is out. I am still reading it, but of the stories I've read, there's been a story about a medieval Japanese Slayer that I thought was decent, and I enjoyed the story about the pirate Slayer (althugh some of the dialogue was cringe-worthy), but I don't think these stories are as good as the ones from the first collection. These Tales don't seem to be as dark as the first ones.
Mmm. Still probably worth picking up, yeah?
I thought so. I still have four or five stories left. I will say that two "current" (meaning stories about Buffy) are included in this collection, which is another break from the past volume.
Has anybody else read the collection? I tend to buy most things Buffy, so my objectivity isn't the greatest. I will go on record to say that I have not liked most of the tie-in novels (I found The Book of Fours an egregious waste of paper, for example). YBMV.
Fray #8 is written and almost completely penciled.
(from joss) Thank god.
I've finished Vol. 2 of the Tales, and I have to say that everyone should at least read the final story, written by Jane Espenson. It concerns the core Scoobies and is set in Sunnydale. I won't say anything more for fear of spoilage. Go to your local store and read it there, if you have to.
Later, I'll try to put out a review of both volumes here.
That's a book-book, not a comic-book, right? (i.e. no pictures?).
Yes, Jon. No pictures at all, not even the cover.

I am buying this RIGHT NOW. AIFG!
And - upthread folks mentioned Y The Last Man. I just finished the 1-5 TPB and I loved it - am waiting for a friend of a friend to loan me the rest. (Though I just read that 6-11 TPB comes out August 13). I am relatively new to comics and was just blown away by this.
And Hi - by the way - I delurked in Buffy a while back but have never posted in any other thread.
My wife & I read the 1-5 tpb of Y: The Last Man just last night. We both dug it lots.
New Buffy one-shot out today.
Will comment on it on Friday
