2. Vaughan/Jeanty/Whedon, Buffy the Vampire Slayer: No Future For You (graphic novel).
The sparkle and wit of BtVS doesn't translate so well without the actors to carry them. But it's entertaining, nonetheless.

Night and Memory lie
entwined in the halls of Aeolus.
Sleeping, the wind-god dreams
of earthen wombs,
caves of eros,
smothering while he slumbers.

ii) "Death of an Octopus"
Soft-slime-skinned,
pseudopods curled in
octopodian snarls,
on the rock-shore below
the lighthouse with
salt and ice on the wind,
ice and salt on your lips,
you stood witness
to a silent sin:
let the ink-stained waves
reclaim their kith and kin.
...I did say I didn't promise "good" or "likeable".
Yeah, after an hour in the gym (mile in eleven minutes, mile point five in nineteen, and that kind of sucks) I think that's all I've got. I'm going to go slog away at some more of the thesis in a couple of minutes. And maybe see what revenant remnants of food still live in the kitchen...
