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.
Anya, the Shopkeepers of America called. They wanted me to tell you that 'please go' just got replaced with 'have a nice day.'

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?

You always do this. We get tipsy, and you take advantage of my love of the scientific method.
I e-mailed to the guy on the second point, and he said that it couldn't possibly be that character because "Gaiman said in interviews that he's not using characters created after 1969, and Snowbird was created after 1969, so Dare can't be Snowbird."
I don't buy that at all. There is no other possiblility, unless it's someone totally new. She sure ain't the Hulk... .
