Hey, if it means I don't have to read any more, woo and, might I add, a big hoo.

Buffy and Angel 1: BUFFYNANGLE4EVA!!!!!1!
Is it better the second time around? Or the third? Or tenth? This is the place to come when you have a burning desire to talk about an old episode that was just re-run.

Ann, that's a ferret.

Wait, is this real-world child support, where the money goes to buy food for the kids, or MRA fantasyland child support where the women just buy Ferraris and cocaine? -Jessica
Warren Ellis' Bad Signal contained this nugget this morning:
Anyway: you know the hardcore Buffistas will get a charge from that first Season 8 comic.
For some reason, this crawls right up my back and sinks its teeth in my spine. Why?

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!
Because he's using the term "Buffistas" to encompass all Buffy fans, not specifically members of this board?

Also, even leaving aside the term "buffista" is the implication that if you don't get a charge from the comic, or have no interest in it, you weren't really a Buffy fan.
Also, presciptive vs. descriptive, and that never ends well around here.

And then there's this:

Which is disturbing the fuck out of me as well. Just visceral. But it angers me, deeply, as cover art for a Spike comic.

Ew. What the?

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

You weren't really a hardcore Buffy fan. I think there's a difference.

OTOH, maybe you're more hardcore if you don't like the comics, because you stay true to the original vision :)

Or maybe you're less, because you're rejecting Joss-approved works in the universe.
And the original vision may just be the movie.
