Comic stores in the US got it today, it'll start showing up in bookstores over the next week or so. Nice, nice looking package. Not much on the extras -- I was hoping for a copy of the script, or Joss' notes, or sketches, or anything -- but there's an intro by Nathan.

I preordered my copy last week from Amazon. I can't wait to get it! I enjoyed your review. It made me even more excited. Hopefully it will be waiting on my doorstep when I get home today.


Wacky fun!

So - I noticed this board gets dough if people order the DVD through Amazon. How about the trade paperback?

Although, I would need it to be Amazon.ca since I live in Canada.

If ordering through FFF.NET, you can use this link.

I hate to say it, but why would I want another copy of these? I read them once and only once. They didn't do anything for me. They were way too short. There was next to no real content. They didn't even explain much about what happened between the series and the movie. They make me not even want to get the buffy comics that are supposed to be coming out.

In that case you might prefer the TPB, because the stories run together just about make one good episode with three acts (which is how I think of it). Reading it all at once really improves the flow of the events.

I've gotten to where I read a lot of my comics in arcs or collections instead of one by one as they come out. Easier to read, easier to store, and you get the whole story at once. It tests my patience at times, and there is the occasional cheating... :)

I sorta already did that. I didn't read them as they came out. I waited until I had all three. Mainly because I got the first one out of order because of how hard it was to track down. It still left me feeling like it wasn't worth the hassle.

Fair enough.
