I just had a look at a link Cameron posted for Dark Horse, so I was looking about on there and came across the Buffy page. I'm not a big comic reader but I loved the wallpaper of Buffy (well only the first one) but how about the comics are they any good? I'm becoming more and more of a buffy fanboy and wondered if the comics were worth getting into.

I'm guessing you can get them in London right?

On another note, where were the decent comic shops in London? I remember asking before but I never went.....

Being a Buffy fanatic I eagerly devoured the first few issues of the comic and then promptly spit them up.
They are so not on par with the quality of the show.

I even went back not long ago and tried to read a couple of the collections and new issues, and they're still quite bad. Joss Whedon's own title, "Fray" is quite excellent, as is his take on "Angel", but the Buffy titles leave me cold.

They do TPBs of the series, which even high street bookstores stock. As well as your local Android's Dungeon, of course.

And in London, you could do much worse than Gosh! on Great Russell Street (opposite the British Museum). Good range of stuff, decent layout, friendly staff, and not too many scary customers. Open seven days a week, too. And no, I'm not on commission...

Yeah, I have always wanted to buy one but... I don't know. Doesn't really grab me. I will be picking up the Willow mini coming out this summer.

Willow mini? Tell me more. Does she dress up in that great-looking leather outfit?

Anyone read the Willow and Tara TPB written by Amber Benson? Worth picking up?
