Yeah, there's a certain thing about the Angel comic that I wish I'd never heard about.
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.
I've managed to avoid the Angel comics but I am loving Buffy Season 8. I can hear the voices of the characters in my head while I read.
The Season 8 comic has had very heavy Joss supervision. The Angel season 6... not so much.
P-C,
can you white font that? I want to know what you found distressing.
Apparently, Gunn's a vampire??? I don't know, maybe it works. It's put me off wanting to read the series, though.
I feel awkward getting into the "Angel" and "Buffy" comics in this forum with folks who may want to remain unspoiled, save to say that the "Buffy" comic has been awesome, and the "Angel" comic, while weaker, is still pretty good, although the art sucks. I like how the first big arc pulled out.
I think the art sucks on the Buffy comic! Is it worse in Angel ? Damn.
I've not been enjoying either series much, to tell the truth. Joss may be closely supervising Season 8, but like Season 7 most of the ideas he's greenlighting strike me as either poorly executed or ill-advised to start with.
Angel season 6: Gunn as a vampire was planned for the DVD projects. I remember Amy spilling the beans at a convention years ago. It actually works, I think.
I've liked both a lot (Angel more once things started getting clearer where they were going). I think the art for Angel sucks, but I haven't had a problem with the art for Buffy apart from the Fray diversion, mainly due to getting used to a different artist's renderings. The more cartoonish stuff doesn't bother me - it reminds me of the really cartoony moments from the Teen Titans cartoon show (i.e. mainly comic distress or euphoria).
