I had no problem
with Willow asking Satsu for details. She used to ask Buffy for details about all her "smoochies" when she was dating in high school. Willow has a bit of a voyeuristic streak. Remember the "everyone's getting spanked except me?" Plus, who could not love her asking Satusu if Buffy squealed the "shoe-sale noise?" I laughed until I cried.
Angel #5 has me confused, too. How could
Connor know Angel was his dad without it being him remembering it that way? I got the impression, too, that Home brought that all back for him.
I hope with get further explanation of that.
Sumi,
Considering the
"Scythe"
was one of the main components of the
"make every potential a Slayer" spell
it makes sense it could also be used to
reverse said spell.
I enjoyed Buffy #13 and
Willow
didn't seem out of character to me at all. And I was highly amused by the
"shoe sale squeal".
Didn't realize Angel #6 was out. I only get my pulls every couple weeks and I had #5 in there, but no #6. Really, I'm not enjoying the series too much so far, but I can't cancel the pull until my gf catches up on them and decides if she wants to keep reading. I think there's a lot of good ideas, but the execution leaves a lot to be desired. Plus, as others have said, the art leaves a lot to be desired.
But when my favorite character is a psychic fish we only see for a couple pages, that doesn't say a lot for the people involved.
To my way of thinking,
it's reasonable that magic wielding vampires with the focus/talisman of Willow's big spell from "Chosen" in hand would be able to reverse it piecemeal. I don't think that Buffy or Faith would be vulnerable to such measures though, as they were already called individually before that spell was cast
.
I'm thinking the exact same thing, Matt. Though, the
head vamp did mention taking things "Global" and I couldn't tell very well for the art, but it looked like they might have had a giant red-thingy like the one the poor dead ex-Slayer picked up right before she got zapped into normal-dom. So they might be trying to unempower all the Slayers (except Buffy and Faith) en masse.
Which will be disappointing if they succeed, because I think the
army of Slayers angle has plenty of story possibilities yet.
Dark Horse is going to release their MySpace only comics in book form - this includes "Sugar Shack" and a "lost" chapter of the Umbrella Academy.
I forgot to say thanks for the recs. Fray is indeed a great book. It reminded me a bit of something I read, I think in Heavy Metal years ago about a boy and his demon pal.
I watched Spectacular Spider-man today.
MJ showed up.
I was underwhelmed.
So what's the general consensus on Season 8 so far and any guesses on who the big bad is? My vote is for Caleb, any other hypotheses?
