I seem to be getting into the habit of making foolish Buffy the Vampire Slayer purchases. The latest, a lot of 9 comics for 18 dollars, isn’t so financially crippling, but…
There are some excellent Buffy comics in existence – the very entertaining Season Eight comics, written by Joss Wheadon (and official cannon) are definitely worth picking up. The older Dark Horse comics, circa season four are also fairly good, and very well drawn. “Spike: Asylum” is a great graphic novel.
Of course, there are also the Dark Horse high school years. I ordered these things by mistake (thinking that they were the college years series), and I cannot believe how awful they are. The drawings are hideous. The plots are moronic. The dialogue is insipid. The characters…well, I wouldn’t be surprised if the Andi Watson (the writer) had never watched an episode before. Only one thing makes them at all worth while, and it’s an unintentional hilarity. Watson, for some reason, seems to be under the impression that Xander is gay.
( I happen to be very bitable, pal )
