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.
Zoe: Nobody's saying that, sir. Wash: Yeah, we're pretty much just giving each other significant glances and laughing incessantly.

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.

You should know I'm a big deal in the Resistance.

Never fall in love with somebody you actually love.
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.

To understand what happened at the diner, we shall use Mr. Papaya! This is upsetting because he's the friendliest of fruits.
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).

Not sure where to discuss this, but ... My friend Bill, a Rocky Horror person in SoCal, tells me that there's a "Rocky"-style cast in L.A. doing "Repo! The Genetic Opera" (The cast of which includes Anthony Stewart Head.)
writes Bill:
I went to their second show last night to bring them one of Byron's spotlights. A few of the Nuart cast are involved, but a lot of the cast is made up of new folks from outside the usual Rocky communities. They put on quite a good show!
A few of the creators and stars from the movie were scheduled last night, but then Anthony Stewart Head put in a surprise appearance!!
Here are a couple of pics from my Myspace:
I didn't get a pic with him, but I did get to shake his hand. He was very friendly, considering how much he was mobbed... :-)
The Repo shadowcast, "Addicted to the Knife", performs once-a-month at the Lammle Sunset 5 in L.A. Here is their MySpace page:
Figured I'd pass it along.
