Hey, anyone watching for updates, I was thinking an addition could be added to the Cultural References section. At the end of issue 3, Lorne blatantly sings the theme to Firefly, another Joss Whedon franchise. I recommend writing the text this way:
"When Lorne is seen performing in Las Vegas at the end of issue 3, he is performing the theme to Firefly, a Joss Whedon television show. Joss Whedon is also responsible for creating Angel, the show this comic was spun off from."
or something along these lines. -Nathaniel

[edit] Future -> current, various cleanup
This series is finished and released, so I changed the article to reflect that. I didn't actually do all that much (no issue summaries or anything), but I made enough other changes (regular copy editing) that I figured I'd explain some of the less obvious of them here. As always, please correct my mistakes and poor judgment. All the new info is from the TPB, as I don't have the floppies.
- Changed "Centre" to "Center" even though British spelling is accepted here, because that's the name of the place in the comic. If they actually changed the art in the UK, then I apologize.
- Removed the "variant cover of Asylum #2" image because the page was already kind of image-heavy, and it seemed to interfere with the blockquote formatting.
- Changed the indented quotes to blockquotes. See MoS. They were already formatted to look blockquoted, but I think this syntax is favored, and it's a little more readable in the source (IMO). Also removed the italics and quotes from the blockquotes, as they aren't needed (again, see MoS).
- The Usual Suspects tribute is on the regular cover (at least, according to the cover gallery in the TPB)—the (retailer incentive) variant is the Matt Busch image I removed earlier. :)
- I removed the sizes from the thumbnails. This is a settable preference for readers, so better leave them off unless needed. See MoS.
I think the rest is self-explanatory. Comment if you have questions! --Renophaston 18:03, 23 June 2007 (UTC)

[edit] James Marsters as Brainiac in Smallville ??
I'm not sure Marsters played Brainiac in Smallville - he was an electronic or robotic avatar controlled by Zod, not the Brainiac character. 220.253.44.66 (talk) 13:46, 8 April 2008 (UTC)
