'War Stories'
Discussion of Buffy and Angel comics, books, and more. Please don't get into spoilery details in the first week of release.
Retro Girl was a bit more experimentation after the gateway comics.
Ah, see, Powers was my gateway comic, and since my pusher was a Bendis whore, he also got me on Daredevil (and I made him cry for liking the Kevin Smith arc more than Frank Miller's The Man with No Fear) and Alias (now The Pulse). 100 Bullets, Fables, and Ultimates for good measure, along with some diversions like The Killing Joke and Dark Knight Returns. He gave me Watchmen for graduation.
Yes, I do plan to skip around some.
Oh, good. Because, really, I was worried.
So, this probably should be in lit, but the novelization of No Man's Land is really kind of excellent. Much better than a comic adaptation has any right to be. I was expecting the exposition to be clunky, but it wasn't. For those without the time to pick up the comics to get all the backstory, it's a damn good starting point.
Because, really, I was worried.
No no. I'm a fan of continuity but a) I realize that comic universes rarely have that and b) I know better than to injure myself for it.
For example - I've read all of the Essential X-Men books, but I'm not about to run out and read every X-related book since the 1980s just to be ready for Joss's.
Powers rawks.
Powers rawks.
It's cool to find other people who know it. I'm still waiting to find out what the hell "KAOTIC CHIC" actually means.
Question for the Bats fans: is the GCPD that is coming out the beginning of a new arc?
I mean, would it be one to start off with?
I found out when I went to read my comics this weekend that I accidentally bought Robin: Year one 2 of 4 instead of the whole thing. which frustrated me to no end and I forgot to take WW to the beach.
However I had plenty of time to linger over and reread what I had with me. And now I have questions.
But I need to about spoiler space? Do I need to use any?
askye -- I accidentally bought Robin: Year One book 1. So glad I'm not the only one to make that sort of error.
But then I went out and bought the TPB.
Yes, GCPD is starting up a new arc this wednesday...
