Jeanty Comic Signings In Southeast US
by Howard Russell (12 October 2007)

Hello Everybody!

“Buffy Season Eight” artist, Georges Jeanty, is doing an autograph tour of the southeast.

A Comic Shop (That's the name, honest!) in Winter Park, FL (next to Orlando) is hosting Mr. Jeanty on Friday, 26 October 2007, from 2pm – 7pm. They're also raffling off a lithograph of the first issue’s Jo Chen cover signed by the artist AND Joss Whedon, as well as several pieces of Jeanty art. But you do have to sign up for the raffles in person, in the store. For Florida fans, it’s worth the trip.

On Saturday, 10 November 2007, Criminal Records, a comic and record store in Atlanta, GA, will be hosting Mr. Jeanty, also from 2pm – 7pm. If you live anywhere in the Atlanta area, you should go get an autograph and buy some “Buffy” music too.

Just so you know which covers are the Jeanty ones, the “Buffy Season Eight” page has been updated with the latest pictures. Also, I've added in the original artwork images so you can enjoy the pictures without the clutter. If you've got a better picture, please send it to me and I'll put it up.

“Buffy” is getting e-press again. Damian Holbrook, TV Guide’s Hot List/Senior Writer, has blogged about Buffy. (He’s saving “Angel” for the end of the month.) I feel justified for still being a fan. Give it a read.

Wacky Broadway Nightmare!
by Howard Russell (26 August 2007)

Hello Everybody!

The “Buffy” music page for season one is up!

Painstakingly researched, this list is as absolutely correct as I can make it. Possibly the only properly researched list on the Internet. Each song has been cross-referenced and verified through multiple sources, with emphasis on the artists’ pages or former band member pages, current or archived. The songs listed were each audibly verified against the episodes.

There are a few cases where the songs/albums are no longer or were never available for sale. Fortunately, the artists themselves usually noticed this lack and made the tracks publicly available in downloadable formats. So I made links to those pages for you. Sorry, no direct links provided here; you’ll have to visit the artists’ pages and download them yourself. They usually have other tracks available as well, so it is to your benefit to visit them.

I also provided links to homepages wherever possible, which may or may not contain any music downloads, as well as links to MySpace pages, which may or may not have the “Buffy” tracks in their MySpace players. I make no promises.

Region 1 Angel Collector’s Set Art Revealed!
by Howard Russell (26 August 2007)

Hello Everybody!

The box art for the Region 1 release of the “Angel” Collector’s Set has been revealed. Larger images of the front and the profile are available for your viewing pleasure.

It’s official! The Region 1 version will be out on 30 Oct 2007 and now we know what it will look like. I must say, I think it’s superior to the UK box art.

Just a friendly reminder, if you pre-order through Amazon, you save 30%. That’s $41.99 off! And they’ll still ship it for free!

And Amazon.com still doesn't have a picture up!

Season Eight Up!
by Howard Russell (23 August 2007)

Hello Everybody!

The “Buffy” season eight page is up!

Just to be clear, “Buffy the Vampire Slayer: Season Eight” is a comic book series being produced by Joss Whedon. He is writing several issues and backing up all of them as canon. That’s right, these are every bit as “real” a part of the Buffy-verse as any televised episode. That’s why they’re being included on this site.

Oh, and you might notice a new, non-functional “After The Fall” heading on the “Angel” menu. There is a new series of canon “Angel” comics coming soon. These will take place between “Not Fade Away” and the new “Buffy” season eight comics. And they will be included on this site once they start coming out.

Next project: Music pages for each series. The music information commonly available is incomplete and contradictory, so I am forced to heavily research, episode by episode. It took about twenty hours of research to do “Buffy” season one alone. It’ll be a while. But it will be complete and verifiably correct.

“Angel” Special Collector's Set
by Howard Russell (10 August 2007)

Hello Everybody!

Many of you have noticed the picture I’ve used of the big “Angel” box set that matches the “Buffy the Vampire Slayer” Chosen Collection. I’d told you that there was a rumor that it was coming out this year. Well, it's now official; it will be released on 30 October 2007.

Amazon.com now has the box set available for preorder. Apparently, there are no extra disks, just the thirty disks from the original season sets. But there is a bonus booklet and personal letter from Joss Whedon.

Funny thing is, this site has the picture before Amazon!

Angel Screen Captures Back Up
For Real This Time!
by Howard Russell (07 August 2007)

Hello Everybody!

“Angel” screen captures are now all available. I did all that uploading and forgot to activate the links. Sorry for misleading you.

Major revamp of the underlying code to this site. Now it should be much more accessible to visitors using phones and text browsers. Further revisions to make this site even better for phone users to come. As previously stated, I am commited to the Any Browser Campaign and want this site to work well on every browser . . . especially yours.

New Clips Added
by Howard Russell (05 August 2007)

Hello Everybody!

I’ve added the Unaired Pilot to the “Buffy” Season One page. Since it’s not available officially—and Joss has said it never will be—it’s now available here. Enjoy!

I’ve added the UPN Season Six Promos to the “Buffy” Season Six page. They’re not commercials in the normal sense. Since the actors stay in character the entire time, there’s some question as to whether these clips are canon or not. You watch; you decide.

“Angel” screen captures are now all uploaded. 144,876 files! Over seven-hundred megs!! Almost a full day of uploading. Crikey!

Something Ripper This Way Comes!
by Howard Russell (02 August 2007)

Hello Everybody!

Joss is in talks once more (with feeling) to get Ripper produced as a 90-minute, made-for-TV movie. Home Media Magazine published an article covering the announcement he made at the 2007 San Diego Comic-Con International.

He also announced that he knows how season eight will end and that there will be a season nine. If this continues, Buffy and Willow could keep on going well into little old ladyhood. You know: cheating at bingo together and forgetting to take their pills.

“Buffy” screen captures are now all up. 83,896 files uploaded! Almost six-hundred megs!! And oddly, the first few seasons don’t have enough pictures in my opinion. Maybe someday. . . .
