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.

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.

You are such a weasel.
I bought two copies of the comic today (got the drawn covers too).

Hec, do you normally get the art covers, or the photo covers? I always get the art covers. For me, buying the art covers makes it seem more that I"m buying an independent artistic work, rather than a promotional tie-in. I don't know why.
