Garth Ennis’ ‘Hitman’ Missing, Not Forgotten
So I was reading Rich Johnston's Lying In The Gutters column over at Comic Book Resources and I was struck by a very, very good point that he made.

Joss Whedon Returns For Buffy Season 8
For me, the biggest disappointment in comics last week wasn't Marvel's offing of Captain America (that was #1 on my "disgust" list and #2 on my "disappointing" list). No, I was way more disappointed that Buffy The Vampire Slayer #1 got pushed back to this week...
