Fair enough. I never thought he was dead, though. But I forgot how invulnerable.
Travers: Perhaps you'll favor us with a demonstration while we're here. Buffy: You mean, like, right now? 'Cause, already had my recommended daily dose of fights tonight.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

Quesada talks about the upshot of House of M.
Hrrm. I just can't shake my skepticism. The idea of the "deep dark secret" that Professor X has been hiding for years makes me get a bit @@. Also -- there will be retconning of something:
in preparing for he story, he went back and found several moments that were never really explained when they occurred, and as a result, a "whole second story" can be laid alongside what was known to have happened.
Also:
there is now a mandate that no new mutants can be created wholesale - only five or six new mutant-based characters that were already in the pipeline will be seen. And that the ones going away won’t be coming back...
I wonder if that will affect anyone I actually like...

Covers for Angel #4:
Also a synopsis of the upcoming Spike vs. Dracula mini:
Presenting the first chapter of a five-part Spike saga spanning centuries! A hundred and twenty years ago, a tribe of gypsies inflicted a terrible curse upon the vampire known as Angelus... a curse that brought a terrible vengeance upon the tribe in the form of Angelus's family: Darla, Drusilla, and most notably, William the Bloody, a.k.a. "Spike." But the gypsy clan has a dark and powerful supporter: Count Dracula. Outraged over the slaughter of the gypsies, Dracula seeks revenge upon the three vampires... and thus begins a rivalry between Spike and Dracula that will cover decades. A rivalry steeped in blood... honor... and eleven quid. Corroney will also provide covers for all five issues, as will variant cover artists Zach Howard, Sean Murphy, and Eric Wight.
The covers:
I think I like the second one the best.

Okay, 'a curse that brought a terrible vengeance upon the tribe in the form of Angelus's family: Darla, Drusilla, and most notably, William the Bloody, a.k.a. "Spike."' is more than a little revisionist. I know it's his comic, and all, but please.

I know. It's kind of a major change to make in the story.

See? I gave everybody here an opportunity to tell me what a bad person I am and nobody did, because I fuckin' rule.
I like the little sepia picture of Jilli on the first cover.

Aaaand I just realized I need (NEED, I tell you!) someone much more skilled with Photoshop than I to crop the little sepia image and turn it into an LJ icon for me. Because that would be even funnier.

Jill - I cropped if for you -- but I can't do anything fancy with it.
(And I sent it to your profile address.)
