My discussion of Buffy, Whedon, and comic books (and comments) has provoke the Amazon supercomputer (who knows all and mind-probed my past history as a junior-high D&D player from purchases I made at the age of thirty-five that had, by ordinary standards, nothing to do with the role-playing occult catechism) is now throwing up Whedon comic books I knew nothing about into my commercial sellout bar in the side column. I knew Whedon had done some X-men stuff, but I had no idea about this comic book or some of the related things. Any comments one whether any of them are worth the money and time?
And while I’m talking about this, has anyone heard of the Runaways? Apparently, Joss may be writing for that comic.
Junior high?
Hey! I cut back a lot in Ninth Grade. If I played as a Sophomore I don’t remember and I don’t want you reminding me!
Occult catechims?

Paul, what’s going on? The one bona fide comic book reader of (roughly) my own generation and this is what you give me? 🙂
The occult catechism was entirely tongue in cheek. But I’m glad it provoked your wit.
Still, if you want to make comment on what the post was supposed to be about, feel free.
