So... "Season 8" #12. I’m torn. It’s an issue with fun, snappy dialogue, one huge ”Oh my god” moment (and for once, it actually is a pretty big one) that could very well set up some important future storylines, and a – so far – pretty boring A-plot with holes big enough for a bat to fly through. A really large bat. I’m guessing most of the debate around it – certainly most of what’s come so far – will surround THAT scene, so we’ll start there...

And the comics continue to pick up; after the occasionally bewildering but mostly good #10, we now get #11 - in which Joss graciously gives us a little bit of backstory on where people are at, pick up one or two of the threads left dangling earlier in the comics, and then of course there's the reveal...

( SPOILERS! )

Well, for once, it's a comic issue that I can actually be bothered to write my own review of. So my review of "Season 8" 8.10, Anywhere But Here, AKA How Do You Afford Your Rock'n'Roll Lifestyle, is under the cut. As usual, stormwreath, shapinglight and aycheb have also written reviews worth reading here, here and here.
