First? by Z 008	Jan 4th, 2008 12:24:45 AM
but I finally finished the show New Years Eve so now I'm hyped to finally read these. Glad it synced up with a stand alone and not the middle of an arc.
This cover makes me laugh. by AnnoyYou	Jan 4th, 2008 12:52:38 AM
Whedon's re-imagining of his "alter ego" (formerly pudgy and nerdy) Xander as a gorgeous, macho, eye-patch-wearing romance novel hero is just hilarious. Way to rewrite history, Joss.
Worth it?? by jrlamps	Jan 4th, 2008 12:57:58 AM
Are these any good?? Im a huge fan of the show, actually started to re-watch the entire series this week.
Yeah AnnoyYou, by raw_bean	Jan 4th, 2008 01:32:30 AM
because obviously Whedon is such a Renaissance Man that he draws the covers as well as doing the writing. Oh boy...

Fat Xander is indeed no more.
I liked Puffy!Xander by buffywrestling	Jan 4th, 2008 02:49:12 AM
But eye-patchy Xander is nice too. jrlamps: I'm not much into comics anymore and I was really hesitant to buy the comics indivdually (I liked the actors performing their lines just as much as I liked the story) but I gave in and bought the first five issues in the book above (which has a nice quote from Herc on the back, btw) and was pleasantly surprised. Most of the art was decent and the stories were comparably structrued to the TV show (BtVS had some of the best "Go to Black" endings ever).
a comic is not a season! by newc0253	Jan 4th, 2008 04:45:21 AM

it's easy once you know how.
Great cover art... by Abin Sur	Jan 4th, 2008 06:49:58 AM
And hopefully the return of Kennedy signals more lesbo action. Ah, what a chauvinist pig I am...
Got the first few issues... by Yeti	Jan 4th, 2008 07:38:55 AM
Love love. love.
worth it? by Gatsbys West Egg Omlet	Jan 4th, 2008 08:13:19 AM
yeh, it is. for the die hard Buffy nerd, these are gold.
This season... by DanielKurland	Jan 4th, 2008 09:59:53 AM
I had high hopes, and it's nice, I suppose. But it seems like they've taken all of the worst elements of season seven, and focused on those. In my opinion, the Angel comic has been a lot more satisfying.
Herc doesn't talk about the Angel comic by CarmillaVonDoom	Jan 4th, 2008 10:42:20 AM
Why is that?
CarmillaVonDoom... by tonagan	Jan 4th, 2008 02:39:13 PM
Probably because the Buffy comic would pale in comparison, much like the way Angel (the TV series) wiped the floor with Buffy as the seasons progressed (that's all personal opinion, of course.)
re; Angel Comic - I would think by buffywrestling	Jan 4th, 2008 07:24:34 PM
that it's because Joss is not involved and it's not published as "season six"? Maybe?
Isn't it a little disingeneous to think... by AnnoyYou	Jan 4th, 2008 11:42:48 PM
...that Whedon had no input about how the characters were drawn? That he didn't sign off on the cover? Please. He probably had a checklist: "Please make Xander 50 pounds lighter than in the TV series, and make him a thousand times prettier and more sexy than that pesky Spike. Thank you."
Joss is involved with Angel... by tonagan	Jan 5th, 2008 06:31:02 AM
He gets a "plotted by" credit, though it is true that they're not calling it "season six". There was a talkback for the first issue, most of it centered around the horrible artwork, as I recall.
I guess no one is reading this comic anymore... by tonagan	Jan 7th, 2008 10:18:25 AM
if the lack of response in this talkback is any indication. Or maybe newc0253 just beat everybody to the punch.
