My 'Spike: Asylum' comic book just arrived! *does the Numfar Dance of Joy*

Now I just need absolute peace and quiet for reading...

ETA: It is just as wonderful as people have been saying! *is very happy and loves Spike*


Oh and just to add some actual content to this post, let me pimp this excellent post by liz_marcs: The Perfect (LJ) Storm. Go read, even if you've been trying to avoid stuff - it addresses all sorts of things like fandom, the new copy-right law and what might be done about it!

ETA: Awesome post here about why fandom is brilliant! :)

Was pretty sure you would.
Was pretty sure I would too and my expectations were high. Impossibly pleased that they were met and more! :)

And yes, I ordered mine from Amazon - surprised that it arrived so soon, since I don't think it's actually offically published until the 29th or something... And I need a comic!Spike icon I think. Might do some scans later and then bribe kathyh once she gets back! *g*

You can snag this one if you like, though I'm sorry to say I don't know who originally made it. Possibly lilaeth

Thank you, but I have my heart set on a very specific image I'm afraid... (It's one of the alternative covers and it's quite possibly the best painting of Spike I've ever seen!)

[shapinglight]

Do you mean one of the alternative covers for Asylum? Do they reproduce them in the graphic novel?

[elisi]

Yes and yes. There's also quite a few pages where the writer goes through the comic page by page and points out background stuff and in-jokes! *is still on could 9*

Yeah, I'm looking forward to having all that gathered in one place. Brian's been posting them issue by issue on the IDW board (and probably Whedonesque as well, though I don't tend to hang around there much and didn't see them).

It's all very shiny! :)
