Angel ,'Conviction (1)'
Discussion of Buffy and Angel comics, books, and more. Please don't get into spoilery details in the first week of release.
I have now read BoP, GK and IC.
Why were Huntress and Dinah at that party/meeting? Were they just supposed to beat up henchmen? I may have to reread when I am less tired.
I also loved everyone's reaction to the fucked upness of Bats' plan.
Is this the first issue of IC where Batman has been active?
I wonder if Batman's plan included Darla's death. You'd think Innocent Child Dying at School would set off his alarms before All the Lights Go Out.
I don't think that his plan could be that specific -- I think that Darla's death is part of the way in which the plan didn't work because Spoiler didn't know that Matches Malone IS Batman.
Anyone else read Ultimate Nightmare? Not much happened. I also find it odd that there's this big global psychic threat and Xavier only sends 3 X-men?
Also, what was up with the art? Wolverine looks like he's 14.
I agree with you, Kalshane. The entire issue seemed to be to assure us that the winged guy whose name I forget is cool, and to get both Shield and the Xes to the same place.
Art was very weird. Jean's looked like a million different things, but I had to just assume that was her.
I was reading this TCJ column on Understanding Comics, and I have to say, when it comes to being cool, they're icy.
Just so you know, The Comics Journal itself merely liked Understanding Comics and totally reamed the follow-up Reinventing Comics.
That thread more than merely liked UC -- they either quite liked, or quite disliked. Which is why I was surprised there was so little reaction (of any sort) to the author.
TCJ message board is not a very nice place.
Apparently, many underground cartoonists aren't particularly mature or professional. Who'd have thought?

Well, Kim and Gary aren't very nice guys either. That probably helps set the tone.

I was kind of surprised how many of them came from broken homes and had massive issues with their absent dads. But yeah, it's a business that attracts a lot of dysfunctional, not-very-socialized people.
I'm just glad when I hear about the odd bit of nice behavior from comics professionals, like the first time George Perez and Phil Jiminez met.
