The crater formerly known as the Hellmouth.

I got the Buffy comic today. I’ve decided I’m not good at reading comic books. I have a bad habit of skimming when I read.  Usually if I see dialogue coming up I’ll skip to it, or if there’s a particularly long-winded passage of description I’ll skim over it. It’s not that I’m not interested, it’s just usually that I’m a little overly-excited. I’ve become quite skilled at doing this with books and still keeping track of what’s going on. This is a major problem with comic books because I tend to skip over boxes with no dialogue. And then I’m all distraught thinking “How did they get in there?!” and I look back and there’s a whole box devoted to her kicking in the door that I skipped over without even realizing it because there was no text. I need more practice.

I did really like the Buffy comic, though.  I’m sufficiently hooked on the story, and the cover art is particularly awesome. It made me giddy like a schoolgirl and I love things that do that. I told everyone I thought would care Happy Buffy day. Okay, and a few people who I knew wouldn’t. Because I wanted to. So there.
