SNEAK PEEK: Angel and Faith #4
Dark Horse Comics released a sneak peek of Angel and Faith #4 that arrives in stores this week.
REVIEW: Buffy The Vampire Slayer – Season 8 #39
Or – “In Joss Whedon’s World, Season Finale = Body Count.”
It’s time for the battle with the Big Bad, as characters live, characters die, and some worlds are changed forever. Beloved fan-faves are about to take the dirt-nap, folks, and I imagine that the fan backlash has already begun…
Comic Book Haiku
For quite some time I have been meaning to combine my interests in comic book heroes, ancient Japanese poetry and strawberry milkshakes. I really couldn’t work the last one in but if you and I are ever at Sonic together remind me to pick some up.
Anyway, here’s some stuff I wrote while I was supposed to be paying attention to a presentation during my day job:
Dueling Review: Buffy the Vampire Slayer #33
ROBOT OVERLORD: Nothing creeps out robots like those freakin’ vampires. Only the Robots should live forever and be allowed to suck dry the joy that is human life… That’s probably why I, Your Robot Overlord, probably enjoy Buffy the Vampire Slayer so much.   I have been made aware that many humans also enjoy the Joss Whedon approved series, so I’ve been kind to Matthew and Stephen this week, and asked them to spill the beans. I’ve even allowed them to skip a day so they could prepare for the awesome sauce that is Buffy.

Angel Returns
Think of this as Angel: Season Six. IDW Publishing is following the lead of Dark Horse Comics and releasing an all new Angel series that picks up right after Season Five ended.
The first issue in this maxi-series looks at who lived after that climactic battle, who died, and what happened to all of Los Angeles in its wake.
Best of all, Joss Whedon hand picked the creative team of Brian Lynch and Franco Urru to tell the tales, it’s just too bad this is a maxi-series instead of an ongoing. Then again, if fans pick up this series in droves, it could prompt a much longer run, or even a season seven follow up.
Electric Tiki Sneak Peek
Electric Tiki Design has posted a sneak peek of statues on display at this year’s San Diego Comic-con. New statues on the way include “Tooned-Up” Buffy the Vampire Slayer, Mandrake the Magician, Prince Valiant, and Mighty Mouse II.

Joss Whedon Wants to Take You to Dinner
Well it isn’t really that cut and dried…Dark Horse, Joss Whedon, and eBay have teamed up to offer fans an opportunity to have dinner with the Buffy the Vampire Slayer creator at this year’s San Diego Comic-Con.
Funds raised from the charity auction will benefit Equality Now, an organization founded in 1992 to work for the protection and promotion of the human rights of women around the world. Working with national human rights organizations and individual activists, Equality Now documents violence and discrimination against women and mobilizes international action to support their efforts to stop these human rights abuses.
Sounds like a great cause, and you Buffy fans might get lucky. The dinner will be open for bidding on July 2 on eBay (ebay.com/josswhedon).
