However, page 3 of this issue WINS.
Doesn't it, though?
I think
Amy strikes me as a bit too powerful. Working up an assault that a castle full of Slayers can't fight off, holding her own in a magical duel with Willow, setting that magical boobytrap and being up to gloat about it after being stepped on... This sort of stuff I'd buy if it were Jasmine or one of the Senior Partners doing it, but the scale seems too big for Amy. I'd have preferred it if they limited her to what she did to Buffy and one sneaky tactic that takes Willow by surprise for the win.
I haven't read #3 yet, but that doesn't stop me from having a theory about Amy: She's
not Amy, she's Amy's Mom.
Oh, that's an interesting theory. And really,
Willow kind of suggests it
in a roundabout way.
So, did everyone notice the picture
of Joss
on the page that has all the images from all of Buffy's dreams? That made me laugh and laugh and laugh. And then I sniffled when I saw Joyce lying on the couch. And then almost snerked up a lung at
Buffy & Angel 4Ever,
because even though it's from an episode, it's still going to
piss off the rabid Spikefen.
And finally, in the panel where
Andrew is all flamingly not interested in the Slayers playing strip poker right behind him,
did y'all notice that
one of the Slayers was reading Fray?
Again, it made me laugh and laugh.
I must be the inverse of Pete, because I loved this issue (I almost said "episode") more than the first 2. The dialogue just kicked ass. And the final panel made me jump. (In a surprised way, not a "for joy" way.)
NOT ENOUGH AT ONCE!
Enjoyed. For the ten minutes it took to read. Dammit.
Hey, look at that. I'm Sean.
I do have to go back and look carefully for the things Steph points out, because I kind of flew through.
I also
continue to fail to recognize Andrew from the artwork. Hmph.
Loved page 3. Loved seeing
Ethan again,
though I'm not quite sure I get how
he ended up in Buffy's dreamland, or whatever.
I have to re-read that.
I thought the bit about
Kennedy being dead... oh, only for a month was hilarious, because I picture Joss picturing fans going, "Yay! Oh."
Is page 3 the
threesome?
(Yes, my comic is in the other room, and I'm too frelling lazy to get up and go look.) Because that made me roll my eyes at first, but then laugh like a drain as I took in all the details (i.e., the
volcano, train, cupid-y cherubs, nurse's uniform,
etc.)
Yes, that's page three in all its glory.
I figured that
Ethan was astrally-projecting.
