Buffy comics and Torchwood.
Just for a change, I thought I'd post about fandom stuff again. Not that I've got much to say....
Yesterday we walked to the comic book shop (and a lot further, but that's a different story) and I managed to get hold of my reserved Buffy comics. Today I sorted them, made a little list of what's missing and which covers I've got. Oh, and I read most of them, too. (I left 23 to 25 and the Tales of the Vampires for another day or possibly later today.) The completist in me isn't happy that I don't have #2 and #3 and I'm decidedly peeved that #12 is missing, because that's the most talked about one in which Buffy does something scandalous. For some reason, I've got two of #9, the Georges Jeanty Avengers style cover. Now I only need to find someone who'd like to trade and who just happens to have a spare #12.
I do enjoy the comics, but I know that I just don't know how to read them - I tend to just glance at the panels and focus on the words, which I know is wrong, but I'm just not used to comics.
I've also finally managed to watch the first part of Children of Earth - good stuff! A tad predictable at times and I'll refrain from making comments about John Barrowman's face. Also, I get the plot reasons why they had to do a slightly unusual 'ultrasound' on Gwen, but the use of a regular flatbed scanner threw me a little. I guess that apart from a handful Americans who are waiting for BBC America to broadcast it, I'm the last person around here to have seen it and avoiding spoilers has been difficult. I've got my own ideas as to what has some people so worked up, but please don't tell me anything.
