Buffy S8 06, Supernatural: Origins 2, 3, 4, and The Birthday of the World and Other Stories

[samvara]

Buffy the Vampire Slayer S8 (06) No Future For You, Part 1 written by Brian K. Vaughan, art by Georges Jeanty. Still making me happy with it's characters and plot. I am nervous about Joss only writing the first arc but at this point am choosing to trust.

Supernatural: Origins 2, 3, 4 by Peter Johnson and drawn by Matthew Dow Smith. This is still hurting me in so many ways. I'm becoming accustomed to the visual style (harsh) but the reckless disregard for dates and established canon makes reading them rather painful.

The Birthday of the World and Other Stories by Ursula K. Le Guin. A fascinating selection of short stories focused on gendered behaviour over different worlds. Thoughtful and interesting as well as entertaining reading.

Brian K Vaughn is arguably a much better comics writer than Whedon is. Which isn't to say that Whedon isn't good, it's just that he feels like a TV writer who's being adapted to comics whereas Brian writes comics full time and completely rocks the house with it.

Thanks for the vote of confidence ;-) There wasn't a noticable change in the writing style; new plot elements, darker; well integrated though.
