New to Me Comics
I'm reading Ultimate Spiderman vol. 14 ("Silver Sable") because it's the one where Kitty and Peter start dating (should I have spoiler-cut that?), and I find myself getting frustrated with all the plot getting in the way of beautiful tortured love triangle of Kitty, Peter, and MJ.
Yeah, I really need to get that Spiderman <3's Mary-Jane hardcover.

I picked up the Volume 1 omnibus of old Dark Horse Buffy comics, including The Origin, Slayer Interrupted (written in part by Fabian Nicieza of Cable & Deadpool fame), and a couple of other titles I can't be bothered to remember--and I'm sort of surprised at the level of squee it's producing in me. But while Whedon's season 8 run is taking the Buffyverse into a whole new direction, these stories act as the sort of je me souviens I love fanfic for being. I mean, political hijinks at the Council involving Giles, Wesley, Quentin Travers, and Gwendolyn Post! (Young) Dawn being Dawn--you have to admit, she's been sort of one-note in season 8 so far. Hank Summers as the family begins to fall apart! (Not much father/daughter UST that I could detect, though, even with my 'cest goggles on.) Plus a lot more of really incredible awesomeness.
