Simon: I'm trying to put this as delicately as I can... How do I know you won't kill me in my sleep? Mal: You don't know me, son. So let me explain this to you once: If I ever kill you, you'll be awake, you'll be facing me, and you'll be armed.

"Don't think of yourself as an organic pain collector racing towards oblivion." Dogbert to Dilbert

Did you all see that Michael Chabon is doing an actual comic of "The Escapist," the comic within the novel of The Amazing Adventures of Kavalier and Clay? I'm incoherent with psychedness.

He is also writing a 16 page back-up tale on the Golden Age Mr. Terrific from the JSA (Justice Society of America, the original DC super-team) in November. It will be JSA All Stars # 7, and it is supposed to be written in the "Golden Age Style" that Chabon depicted in Kavelier and Klay.

Remember, remember/the fifth of November/the Gunpowder Treason and Plot/I see no reason/Why Gunpowder Treason/Should ever be forgot.

True Anne. The second point you made, Marvel reps have been careful to repeat that every chance they have had on several retailer/business forums I am on.

S to the A -- using they/them pronouns!

Yup. I, even, managed to find that out about 1602. Still cool tho.

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.

Number?

Hey, my first!:)

There's been talk of this but Dark Horse's site confirms that Tales of the Vampires "with stories written exclusively by Joss and writers from his shows" will come out in December and be a 5 issue run.

No new Buffy comics after #63 but it does say that they expect more comic series with Joss aside from the TotV and a possible future Fray series. (Go Faith! Choose Faith!)

Has someone mentioned here as well that due to fan demands they (not Dark Horse obviously, but whoever makes them) are going to continue making Buffy and Angel action figures.

move out and draw fire

How many issues of 1602 are planned? Do we know?

Got and read #2 today. The last panel actually made me feel sorry for the character in it. I've been flashing on it all day, thinking "Poor dear!"

Some nice art, esp. the light blue eyes of the Grand Inquisitor in the shadow of his hood. I'm not thrilled with the outfits worn by Javier's students, but maybe the anachronistic stuff is part and parcel of Gaiman's whole idea.

So I picked up Angel Season 2 while I was out today. Came home to find my Fray 1 through 8 and 1602 #1 that I'd bought off Ebay had arrived (as well as a Suncoast coupon I could have used when I bought the Angel DVDs. Argh!). Looks like I have a long weekend of sloth ahead of me.:) And then I'll finally be able to contribute to/understand the Fray and 1602 discussions. Whee!:)

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

Annotations for 1602.2 are now up.

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

Hmmph. I have two nits to pick with the commentary:

  • Beast is now "blue-furred and brutish-looking" -- he wasn't always -- he used to look like he does here
  • my ASS that's not Snowbird ... I know there's supposed to be a cutoff point, but ... didn't Snowbird do that?
