Agreed.
Speaking of comic books and Buffy (nice segue!), our favorite slayer
is alive and well in Buffy: Season 8. Joss Whedon himself is writing
the comic and it picks up right where the TV series ended.
Joss is also writing the most excellent Runaways comic series, which
is chock full of humor, violence, and my favorite mutant, 10-year-old
Molly Hayes, who is as strong as The Thing but needs to take a nap
after kicking ass. I cracked up when she tried to appropriate The
Thing's catch phrase and it came out, "It's cobblerin' time!" No, she
did not proceed to mend shoes.
