It looked to me like Urkonn REALLY didn't want to kill Mel, to the point that when they fell through the floor of Gunther's tank, he pulled her to safety. I might have been reading it wrong, though. But I like the idea that Urkonn developed Giles-y protect-his-Slayer impulses .
You're right. He's evil. But you should see him naked. I mean really!

an overblown libretto and a sumptuous score/ could never contain the contradictions I adore

So ... a question from the uninitiated. Say I wanted to get my hands on the Fray series, and I have no idea where they're sold in the real world (which is to say, I don't know of any comic book stores; maybe they're in book stores? I dunno). Is going on e-bay (yeah, I know it's the real world, too -- just not one I've visited) or some such a good plan? There's an auction for for all 8 starting at $20 + about $6 S&H. Is that reasonable (well, depending if others bid, obviously)? Seems like it to me, but what do I know of these things? Nada.
Thanks for any advice ...

They cost about three dollars each in stores, so yeah, that's a good price.

Thanks, Holli. I think I go bid now. Sometimes I just need a little external validation.

If you can wait until the end of November, there's a trade paperback coming out, that collects all the issues, with a retail price of $20.

Oh ... hmmm. OK, that sounds good, too. I'll have to think about that. Everything in one volume is appealing ... could even go on the ol' Christmas list. I wonder if I can wait? Huh. Maybe I'll try to, as an experiment. It'll be fun.
eta: Thanks!

Personally, I like having the comics, but if the bidding gets too high, you've got another option.

Yeah, I'm just not good with keeping things all pretty and nice, and, uh, not lost. It's probably better for me to have it in one volume. It'll be comic book-sized pages and all, yes?

I got my Fray's from milehighcomics.com and from Things from Another World, tfaw.com. TfAW has four issues in stock for the regular price, mile high NSM.
ION, I think the new TPB for Y:The Last Man came out this week but haven't been to the comic book shop to check and vertigo's site is on the blink - anybody know?
