'Harm's Way'
Discussion of Buffy and Angel comics, books, and more. Please don't get into spoilery details in the first week of release.
I enjoyed the longer Tales of the Slayer book, but this one didn't impress me.
The connection between the stories was thin. Also, it just seemed too short. There was no character development and not much plot. I also couldn't figure out why the Djinn went back in the bottle. It felt like the issue was missing pages or something.
I liked the story, although it did seem like they edited out a lot. Loved the Gene Colan artwork.
There was one thing about it that had me going, "Huh?" The episode is set in S2, right? Would S2 Willow have been able to cast a spell that opened that time portal? I always thought that the resouling spell was the first she ever cast of that magnitude.
It was a oneshot?
Huh - -why bother numbering it then?
I agree that it certainly didn't read like one.
I think they plan to do other Tales of the Slayer issues on a semi-random schedule...
Wondering how that differs from their regular schedule.
Almost forgot to mention it, but I saw Buffy #50 at my local store today. I didn't pick it up, but YLobdellToleranceMV.
Hrm, missed it at mine.
Sadly, it was in my comic shop file at lunch today despite my taking it off the request list two months ago. I skimmed through the issue, but it didn't stick in my brain enough to give a summary.
My shop didn't get the issue. They seem to have a lot of problems with Diamond filling their orders.
[Edit - I was going to ask if it was any good, but I realize I already know the answer. As soon as I get the issue, though, I'll work up a reiview of the 4-part run.]
[Oh, and I went back and pulled out "The Origin" series of the Buffy comics, and Pike has a very small role in those books. Nothing that could imply he would even care about Buffy seven years later.]
My copy of the Scriptbook, Season 2, #3 came yesterday.
Classic!
