Well, I think you should at least get the last one in comic form -- so you have Joss' letter page.
Ah, OK. Thanks. See, I knew this was the right place to come.
Gunn: You ready? Fred: Is no an acceptable answer?

S to the A -- using they/them pronouns!
Tina, the slang was similar to Firefly, which makes the whole thing that much more interesting to me.

You always do this. We get tipsy, and you take advantage of my love of the scientific method.
I tell you, Fray has really cost me a lot of my disposable income. I hadn't been reading comic books, except for an occasional trade paperback, until Fray arrived.
Same with me, although with me it was after about a ten year hiatus from buying comics. Fortunately, it's tapered off quite a bit, because I just haven't found much stuff that keeps my interest the way Fray did.

See now, that just makes me so sad. I hate that I missed Firefly with a fiery passion (my life was a big ball of crazy when it was on and I had no VCR - it was awful!). It's like having several volumes missing from my Jossverse encyclopedia set. Grrr. Want DVDs now.

Unusually and exceedingly peculiar and altogether quite impossible to describe
Hmmm. Must check out "1602."

an overblown libretto and a sumptuous score/ could never contain the contradictions I adore
I'm walking up to the comic book store at lunch for 1602. Anything else I should get?

I've very excited because I get to go to the comic book store tomorrow. It's not that it's especially far away (by car), it's more that I have no way to get there.
When I have a car, I'll go every week! Or something.

I work directly next to two comic book stores. And three used CD places. It is daily.fricking.torture. I already have three things to buy today! No more!
The reason I mail-ordered my Frays though is that I was too scared to go into the comic shops for a long time. There is nothing to be scared of - and as I have said in Bitches - it actually makes me feel especially pretty usually when I go in now because they are not so used to seeing the women folk there.

I think I may walk up the road and have my first comic book store experience during lunch today. Oh, the things that Buffistadom brings into one's life. Whee!

One thing that cracks me up about the setting back of the timeline is that some characters' origins actually go back that far. For example, if they want to use the same origin story for Dr. Strange, his mentor was about 200 at the turn of the 17th century. And if they didn't want to change things for tone, Thor would be available at an earlier point in the life of the present-day Marvel character.
