'Lineage'
Discussion of Buffy and Angel comics, books, and more. Please don't get into spoilery details in the first week of release.
Finally! I have read the comics and the whitefont, and I'm quite the happy camper. Though, really, starting TT34 before IT6 wasn't the brightest move. But I knew exactly at which point (the Kon statue) to go back and read Infinite Crisis. The ending of TT34 was magical, and I know that Steph got a kick out of it, before I even got back here.
I didn't dislike Outsiders as much as the previous issue, and really liked the art this time.
Okay, time to go read my Marvel.
Neal Gaiman, teen idol: [link]
"I'm not sure," Gaiman says. "But I do know that when I got to Singapore to do a reading, there were 600 teenage girls waiting. And when I got to the Philippines, there were 2,000 teenage girls waiting, screaming my name."
Too bad the rest of the article is "Newsflash! Girls Read Comics!!"
I believe it! He's really a very good looking man. With that charming accent.

You know, it's articles like that that make me want to bop people over the head a month's worth of my pulls.
News flash: we also read comics with spandex.
Also, and totally unrelated, Amanda Waller is my new fictional crush object.
What are you reading with The Wall, PMM? I used to love Suicide Squad.

I just read Rucka's OMAC special on the bus. She's The new Black King of Checkmate and in fine form.
Oh, excellent. I didn't think to pick that up--it's worth it?
I thought it was well worth it. It looks like it's probably a set up issue for the coming Checkmate series as well as tying up some loose IC ends.
I'll try and remember that for comic shopping next week. Thanks for the heads up.
I thought there were many insane things about that piece. Citing what happened in Singapore & the Philipines was odd, since comics don't have the same stigma there as in the US. And I sincerely doubt that even in the US, the people Gaiman encounters on a book tour are representative of comic fans in general.
It was like every paragraph was totally unrelated to every other paragraph. I think the actual point was "I had dinner with Neil Gaiman and I would like to deduct the cost as a business expense." Or possibly, "Wired is seriously desperate for content."
