Just wanted to drop in to mention that a new Tales of the Slayers: Broken Bottle of Djinn one-shot should be in the stores today. I think it features two stories, one about a Slayer in 1930s New York, and one about Buffy. The authors of the stories are Jane Espenson and Doug Petrie, so we should get relief from the craptacular Scott Lobdell for a while. I'm off to the store now to pick it up.

That's a regular comic, right Jeff?

Yes, it is a regular comic (although it is priced at $3.50). I found it to be too short, which is a good thing.

Doesn't it say part one of two or three on it?

Yes, it was part one - - very short. Do we know if Jane Espenson is writing all of them?

How'd you like them, Jeff? As good as the other Tales

I liked it, especially compared to the regular comic at this time. I don't think it was as good as the best from the first Tales, but it was fine. I'm pretty sure the issue was a one-shot. (goes to web) Yep, according to this from the Dark Horse site, it is just a one-shot. Therefore, it is too short.
[Edit: I want to add that this is basically one connected story with two parts, rather than two separate Tales.

And it doesn't make sense (that description) - - the 1990s part of the story is only a beginning framing device.

You know - - it's Tales of the Slayer #1 - - so it's the beginning of a new series.
