Yes, it was part one - - very short. Do we know if Jane Espenson is writing all of them?
I'll just jump in my time machine, go back to the twelfth century, and ask the vampires to postpone their ancient prophesy for a few days while you take in dinner and a show.

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.

Sorry, the Tales of Slayer is a one shot, though it certainly doesn't read as one...

If they wrote the segments separately rather than in tandem for the whole book, whoever did the first part must have knocked it out on a coffee break.
