Uh...

Yes, I'm late to this


The first thing I did when I finished reading this was throw it across my desk. WTF?

Dave seems to think it makes perfect sense so clearly he is more in tune with Joss's brain that me. I just thought it was strange and massively out of character. I dunno why really. I mean I had no issue with Willow getting involved with Tara, and there was masses of subtext in the Buffy/Faith storylines on the show, especially in Season 3. I can't explain why this felt wrong but it just did.

The aftermath was incredibly amusing though, and I loved Andrew being Lois to Willow's Superman *g*

Having read Joss's interview I'm not sure I can last the 40 issues he says he has in mind for this comic. I'm just not enjoying it.

Now I need to buy the next issue of Angel just to make me feel better. At least that comic kicks ass.

I had to go back a while to find this post--because I had to see what you rreaction to it was after I read it yesterday

ZOMG!

and

WTF!

What did they do to my Buffy?? I agree, the whole aftermath of her in bed was funny, but a kinda cheap joke in comparison to them suddenly making buffy hop in bed with someone who
1) female
2) subordinate--Buffy has been pretty clear in not being willing to cross those lines, i feel

Come on--can't the original scoobs get more creative with thier mates of choice than the mini-slayers? Xander, yes his is progressing kind of nicely (he is prob my favorite character in this comic, they've managed to keep him dorky and cool...). I hated the Willow/Kennedy thing--but its old material people. We have our gay powerful person dating a mini-slayer. Ugh.

Angel is definately better, from the 2 I've read. Just more interesting plot line (weird, but interesting).

argh.

Yeah, I've read 3 issues of Angel and it's already streets ahead of Buffy
