Yes, Y is actually considered a hit for the Vertigo imprint. The last direct market sales figures (for April sales) pegged them at around 25,000 copies. 15,000 seems to be the danger level where DC starts to seriously consider cancellation, at least for newer series. Lucifer, for instance, sold just under 14,000 copies to the direct market in April, but its trade paperback sales have been established enough that DC can carry the monthly at that level. I also think that Mike Carrey has a definitive end for the series, so the company will want to keep the issues going to fill out the trade collection.
It's just an object. It doesn't mean what you think.

an overblown libretto and a sumptuous score/ could never contain the contradictions I adore
Bil, I don't really have a comic shop-- the Bethesda one is the one I go to most often, but that's still not very often.
And I didn't know about the one in Rockville. Have to remember to look for that one.

I saw the book Chosen at the bookstore today on my lunch hour. It appears to be a summary of the entire 7th season.

I just read some of the reviews, and I don't know if I could stand all the typos and such!

Amazon keeps putting Blood and Fog on my opening page. I like the title but the books tend to be so disappointing.

I know! One person said they stopped counting after 50 pages because there were so many. I read the ending and it is reallllly schmoopy.

Tons of typos and much of the funniest scenes are skimmed over or summarized so that you don't get the dialogue.

Amazon recommended Monster Island an Angel novel involving Doyle's father.
Also, have you read the synopses for Seven Crows? It's a Buffy/Angel cross-over with Mr. & Mrs. Finn.

It took me a minute to realize you'd white-fonted there, Sumi. Warning: not for the faint-hearted.
t edit And you left the white font tag open, but I fixed it. :)
