Hee. I just got mine yesterday, so that was perfect timing. For me.
We have to see the chimp playing hockey! That's hilarious! The ice is so slippery, and, and monkeys are all irrational. We have to see this!

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

Grrrr, Arrrgh! For the second time, the latest ANGEL: AtF was sold out at the Newbury Comics closest to work half an hour after they hit the shelves. All the other comics stores are a pain get to (at least when I'm hobbled as I currently am).

Wow, those are amazing.
Also, I would like to start an X-men plush collection. Apparently.

On the Spiderman thing--how old was he before it all went down? Did they de-age him too? One of the places I was reading said that he was now a loser because he was pretty old and living at home, and I wonder how old he was in the original timeline when he moved out.

I thought it was more a matter of sticking around to help care for an older-than-God aunt that was always in some sort of health crisis than just living at home because he couldn't hold a steady job?

Does Newbury comics do subscriptions, Frank? I think they used to, but I haven't checked for years.

Every (angry) reaction I've read has picked out him being twenty-something or in his late twenties and living at home as a slacker thing. He's also unemployed and supported by her, IIRC.

They do, but I don't know whether there's a minimum or something, and this is the first comic it's been an issue for. I ended up going to the comic store in Salem as a detour on my way home and picked it up.
On that note, per the final revelation in the new Angel, all I can say is on Oz-like "Huh." I do wonder why Illyria is so pissed at Angel considering she fought by his side during season 5 and I won't be surprised if Fred comes back in some form given the timeslips that were going on during the fight. I think the story is getting more intriguing issue by issue, but the artwork still sucks. I hope the artist they got to replace this one is (a) better and (b) doesn't delay the schedule too long.
