Willow ,'The Killer In Me'
Discussion of comics, graphic novels, and more. Except for capes. No capes!
Please use spoiler font for new releases until after the weekend following release.
Also, Judd Winick is a hack. The only character I've actually seen him write consistently well, with a *good* handle on the character's history, is Jason Todd, of all people
He did right by Kyle, too, and his first couple of years with Ollie were great.
Like certain other writers, he does way better when not spread thinly on toast. (I've got this whole Marmite based theory about writing. Err. Don't ask.)
I'm assuming shape-shifter type thing and not actual dead Ollie, because you can only flog a dead horse so much. Also, the most surprising thing to me was the lack of caring I felt. At no point did I think the dead would stick.
Hi All! Thanks, Laga, for the welcome. Found the Buffistas (sheepish grin) through _WIll the Vampire People Please Leave the Lobby_ -- a great read! I've been carrying on (as I will) with the recycling actors line of questioning over at slayalive.com, and it's been interesting. Thanks for the phrasing "coming at the Whedonverse assbackwards"! Yes, I watched Firefly later (grumble grumble darn Fox for not advertising Firefly and for screwing it all up.....etc), after Buffy and Angel ended. I certainly don't posit nefarious schemes a-dancing in Whedon's head by doing this, but I find it interesting how watching a character in one role can affect the reading of other roles.... especially in a particular genre and sub-genre (is Whedon a sub-genre??). Starting to blabber now....
BTW, I was surprised at the length of the list of recycled actors once you get going at figuring out who has been recycled....
Buffy # 7 this week according to my Newbury Comics email newsletter.

New Comic and Pie Day!
Buffy #7, Supernatural Origins #5 and Cream Cheese Pumpkin Pie.
I think that Faith is going to be able to pull this off. But she's going to be tempted. Bonding with another slayer who wants to kill Buffy. Tough choices are ahead. I also think they're dragging Giant!Dawn's story out too long. It's getting annoying.
Dresden Files graphic novels.
Cashmere, I hope you are right that Faith can pull this off. Because I'd hate for her to have worked so hard towards her redemption only to give in to the dark side again. I suspect those thoughts about her meeting, bonding and falling out with Buffy are foreshadowing on how things are going to play with...I've spaced on English!Psycho!Slayer's name.
