Mar. 7th, 2008 09:41 pmonly very mild spoilers throughout
Buffy Season 8 continues interesting. Joss and the other writers have really managed to capture the 'voice' of the characters, and the artwork, despite not being actual likenesses of the actors necessarily, also tends towards good (although there is odd panel where I am like wtf?)( spoilers )
The Boys, Garth Ennis's anti-cape title, ( spoilers ) I enjoy this, although it is shockingly gratuitous at times. Apparently there is a film option on this. If Watchmen does well, I expect this will be greenlighted.
Watchmen costumes have been posted. They look more or less what they said they would look like.
The Twelve has got to issue #3 (of 12, natch). We are seeing how the various characters are adjusting to life in 2008.( spoilers ) Chris Weston, the artist for this, is doing a signing at Orbital Comics later this month. I may go.
I have been reading back issues of X-Men, with the intention of reading all of up to the present day. I am up to #161, ( spoilers for x-men from early 1980s ) i got Essential X-Men vol 4 yesterday, which will take me up to #179. so then that'll just be 294 issues of that series left then (and 100 or so of the other one)
I have also been reading present issues. not much to say, except eek, I bought a Cable solo book! oh, and eek, I bought a Wolverine solo book! Oh, and X-Men: First Class #9 is utterly squee. Wouldn't Wanda and Jean make a nice couple!
