Sadly, I'm going to have to wait 'til Monday due to extreme lack of funds.

Discussion of Buffy and Angel comics, books, and more. Please don't get into spoilery details in the first week of release.
I was just coming in here to ask.
I still haven't reread 1602.1 with the commentary. I need to do that.
Kalshane...I agree, I haven't finished it yet, not because it's hard but due to lack of time. I still play the first one, but this one will hit the shelf and stay there once it's complete I think. You're right, Faith handled fairly similarly to Buffy, but she was more entertaining at least.
I'm not sure what happened with The Collective, but I sure wish they stuck around. Everything was just of a higher quality. I have stupid nitpicks, but one of the things that bothers me to no end is how the characters can "walk" over things that are above them, there's no kind of climbing effort and it seems very fake. The other one was so close to reality I felt like I was actually playing an episode.
Also the return of Sid was kind of pointless and I got my butt kicked playing him until I figured out how to do his one and only move (where he claws at the enemy with both hands). I still do like it, but I had an endless list of frustrations between the two. The game itself was not at all bad, but it felt like going backwards in quality.
1602 and Supreme Power (JMS's new title) were released today.
I've seen people here talking about 1602 here, and you've probably explained what it is, but I'm a skipper so I probably missed it.
Would someone be able to give me a quick summary of what it is?
Megan, a comic book.
(ducking and running)
1602 is Neil Gaiman's reimagining of the Marvel Universe in 1602 Elizabethian England. The X-Men are condemned as witches, Captain America is a Native American and Doctor Strange reimagined as John Dee as examples.
haha! s(f)marty pants.
Thanks CaBil... I may have to check that out.
Could someone grab me a copy of 1602 #2? I don't know where the comic book store is in Lancaster, nor how to get there, and I'm afraid it'll be sold out by the time I figure it out. I'll pay you back, and shipping, of course.
Holli, when are you going to back in the DC area?
