Definitely impressed

Just finished reading Buffy the Vampire Slayer: Panel to Panel and it was an excellent read. Yes, the artwork is very well reproduced and the book is of a very high quality but what was really fascinating to me was Chis Ryall's commentary on all the issues of the comics. The insights he gives into how stories came about and why some artists disappeared mid-run was great. The little bit of Fray in there warmed my heart.

Seriously, a good purchase, even if you don't like much of the artwork in the early comics.

New Joss book

Faith and Choice in the Works of Joss Whedon is the title of a new book, due out Spring/Summer 2008. Sounds fascinating - and I love this section already:
examining the unconventional family dynamic in Whedon's comic book miniseries Fray and television series Firefly. Finally, some critical analysis of Fray - there is just so little around that anything is a bonus, even if I disagree with it, at least it's a starting point!

I'll definitely be ordering this as soon as I can!
