Four different covers; takes place after the show's finale. - Supernatural: Origins #1 (Wildstorm)

Wow ... Dark Horse certainly is pushing the Buffy, but why not? When I went to my local comic store five days after it came out, it had already sold out, so I've reserved a copy for the March 28 reprint
I think our local comic shop is lagging in business...I didn't pick mine up until a week later, and they still had some on the shelf!
Haven't had a second to sit down and read it, but I'm planning on it today.
Jim, I think Supernatural is an ongoing series, but it may be a mini. Either way I know it's not just a one-shot. I love the show, but don't know if I'll be getting the comic or not.
If you do, let me know how it is.
The show looked intriguing, but I had already reached my TV upper limit of shows this season and had to pass...
