Gavin, ask yourself this question. What are you more afraid of, a giant murderous demon or me?

move out and draw fire

(goes to get it out of the bag)

All color, but washed out color. Kind of like newsprint. This tpb is 1988.

(puts it back in bag so nothing bad happens to it while I'm not reading it)

I traded Kavalier and Clay, and the first issue of 1602 for it, although he gets to keep K&C.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."

I think you can only get the original b/w from Warrior - the brit mag which kicked off Alan Moore's career with V, and Marvelman (nee, Miracleman).

Recent entry in Peter David's blog, upon his return from DragonCon

For reasons surpassing any claim to sanity, I agreed to co-host "Iron Artist" again. I was teamed with James Leary ("Clem" from "Buffy") who proved to be a talented improv guy, which is what you need when you're trying to keep an audience entertained for close to an hour while you're literally watching paint dry.

I only got to see one panel the entire weekend: A Buffy cast panel. Danny Strong ("Jonathan") is an extremely funny guy. At one point James Marsters was asked if he was anything like "Spike," and Marsters replied, "Yeah. Spike is the part of me that you get if you f*ck with me." And then Strong piped up, "Same with me! When you f*ck with me, you get Jonathan!" This of course got a huge laugh, and Strong continued, "That's right! You get a short, cranky Jew...oh. Wait. That's actually me. Never mind."

So come, my friends, be not afraid/We are so lightly here/It is in love that we are made; In love we disappear

And then Strong piped up, "Same with me! When you f*ck with me, you get Jonathan!" This of course got a huge laugh, and Strong continued, "That's right! You get a short, cranky Jew...oh. Wait. That's actually me. Never mind."

BWAH!!!

Damn. I love him.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

So this is sort of my best guess on the appropriate thread, but I seem to remember some Cowboy Bebop conversation going on in here.

Do I need to have seen or understand the series in order to watch the movie?

Nope. It's kind of a standalone.

No. But when you watch the series, realize the movie fits in around episode 22...

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.

No, but I finally got to play the Buffy RPG.

How was it? I've heard lots of good things about it, but haven't been able to convince myself to spend $40 on a game I'll probably never play. (Most of my gamer friends aren't Buffy fans.)

Seeing the series allows you to catch a couple in-jokes/recurring characters, but much like most of the episodes themselves, it's pretty standalone. Caught a showing of it at a theatre in Chicago with a fellow Browncoat who'd never seen any of the series and she thought it was great.

I received it as a gift...I probably wouldn't have plunked down the money myself.

The Buffy RPG requires a pretty firm hand from the GM, to keep it moving like the show. It's a bit hard on my friends to make with the quippage, but only a couple of them are Buffy fans. I had fun, but I don't think it's going to be a steady diet.
