weird words

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! ( Spoilers for episode 1 )
