I enjoyed it very much.
Graham Crackers says "yes" to Astounishing too. (I was delighted and surprised to discover that we're getting Astounishing today.)
Zoe: I thought you wanted to spend more time off-ship this visit. Wash: Out there is seems like it's all fancy parties. I like our party better. The dress code is easier and I know all the steps.

Also, anyone who's read Serenity #1, how was it (whitefont if necessary)?
I thought it was a good transition to the comic-book form - too short to get the feel of an entire episode (I think all 3 issues will add up to that), but played up to the strenghts of the form (especially the ending). More action in it than I anticipated.

You always do this. We get tipsy, and you take advantage of my love of the scientific method.
ETA - hmm, Diamond Comics says yes on Astounishing #11, but the link here that ita put in to a different page doesn't have it. Is either more reliable than the other?
I think the other link misspelled "Astonishing" as "stonishing," so it's not in its usual place on the Marvel list.

Aha. Mystery solved. Silly list - "Astounishing" is the OT Misspelling.

I asked the GF about the Buffy thing. She said it's basically just screen caps from the ep (I thought it would be an anime style recreation). But she said it does have some extras in it, like the shooting script. Could be cool...

The lost sheep grow teeth, forsake their lambs, and lie with the lions.

That would be interesting. There are a number of things in "Buffy" that parallel things I see in shoujo manga.

Whee. Got my copy of Astounishing and snagged the last issue of Serenity they had (Jayne cover).

GS: If you had to choose between kicking evil in the head or the behind, which would you choose, and why?
Minsc: I'm not sure I understand the question. I have two feet, do I not? You do not take a small plate when the feast of evil welcomes seconds.
Astonishing was pretty good.
The latest issue of Ult. Spidey rocked like a rocking thing, though. I think Bendis realized there was a serious snark-shortage in the previous arc and decided to make up for lost time.
