angeria, and petzipellingo - I was able to read the three page Buffy comic by Joss Whedon and Joan Chen.
You can too - if you go here: http://www.darkhorse.com/Features/eComics/1087/Dark-Horse-Presents-No-24?part_num=1&page=2
Sort of wish they'd made it part of one of the trades - because I wouldn't mind owning the thing for the artwork alone - which made me happy. Joan Chen is quite good. Particularly that last frame with a bone-weary sleep-deprived Buffy, staring at her cereal bowl, while a cartoonish Xander pops in with his usual quirky humor. I looked at that frame four or five times, with complete admiration. If you know anything about painting - you'll realize how hard that was to do, movement, stillness, and two styles, along with light. Whoa.
The story? What to say that hasn't been said better elsewhere? I wasn't surprised by it, just mildly disappointed. Is it just me or does Whedon have a serious bone up his ass regarding paternalism and sexism? ( cut for spoilers for those who care )
