Buffy in 2D
So, this just proves that I can’t start talking about Buffy the Vampire Slayer and not keep on babbling. The show ended in 2003 but the story lives on. In comic books. I’ve read that the Buffy season 8 comics actually caused a spike (no pun intended) in the rate of females reading comics. Geek converts! I haven’t bought anything from the past 22 issues but I am keeping myself up to date, through the Internet of course. I’m not even sure if these are available locally, but like an emergency light in the dark, kind-hearted fans are always willing to scan and share stuff so I get to take a peek.
The comics serve as the canonical continuation of the TV series, but somehow I don’t really accept that (Dawn’s a giant, then a centaur? Warren is alive, but no Anya, no Tara?). Not even if Joss Whedon says so. Ok, I guess I don’t really have a say in that but the covers are pretty awesome, especially those illustrated by Jo Chen (I mean, really, really awesome!).
these would make a great set of Buffy-themed collectible cards
you know, I enjoyed watching Buffy on TV before, and before (or after) that was Angel. I’ve been planning to buy the DVDs to watch it all, but it kept on slipping my mind. And now, Buffy is in comics? I am sooo late.
@onyxx, in time I might even start to collect those trade cards. I can be such a fan. If I start with Buffy, then I’ll do it for X-Files, too.
@mordsith, I’m about to start watching Angel. Not sure if I’ll like it as much as Buffy; I’ve read it’s supposed to be darker but I’m kinda not excited about the idea that they do heroics there for a pay, he he.
