Now Buffy must revisit the place where love was indiscriminate, the Scoobies [...]

This week sees the release of the Angel : Immortality for Dummies hardcover collection, which includes issues #28-32 of IDW’s ongoing Angel title.

Catching up a bit, last week Comics Continuum posted details about IDW comics due in September. What’s interesting is that they included specific shipping dates, which is unusual for IDW; we’ll see if these turn out to be accurate! September 1st: Angel : Barbary Coast trade paperback. Based on earlier info from Amazon, this wasn’t [...]

Later this year, Dark Horse will be offering a number of #1 reprints for the low, low price of $1. On September 8th, this “One for One” promotion will include Buffy the Vampire Slayer #1, the first issue of the original Buffy ongoing series. Buffy Summers is not like other girls.

One miniseries concludes while another begins this week. Angel : Barbary Coast #3 Earthquakes. Dragons. Angel. Everything comes to a shattering conclusion as Angel’s attempt to “cure” his newfound soul comes crashing down along with the rest of San Francisco. Plus, an old enemy shows just how long they’ve been watching him. Did we mention [...]

I’ve been meaning to write up a section for “About Buffy comics” ever since I started this site. Maybe once I get around to it I can finally remove the “beta” label from around here. When I do, one point I’d like to address is, “what is a sensible reading order for all these comics?” [...]

IDW’s August 2010 solicitation info was posted a couple of weeks ago, and includes the latest Angel issue as well as the third part of Spike: The Devil You Know. Angel #36 When L.A. went to hell, everyone thought things couldn’t get any worse. Well, they were dead wrong. Especially now that the new Big [...]

Better late than never, here’s a reminder that last week saw the release of Angel #33. This kicks off a new arc in writer Bill Willingham’s run, and he’s now joined by artist Elena Casagrande. If Amazon is to be believed about the title of the hardcover that eventually collects these issues, it’s called The [...]
