Buffy the Vampire Slayer

By Brad Curran So, yeah, I'm out of the Whedon Fan Club. I'll send for my things, Bill. At least we'll always have Firefly. (By the way, did everyone catch the Firefly reference on Castle this week? If not, you make me sad, not watching Castle like that. Go hit that up online, yo!)

By Greg Burgas Dark Horse: DC: Image: That Buffy cover reminds me of a question I've always had about comics licensed from TV shows: given that the ... This isn't to say Alyson Hannigan or Buffy are necessarily someplace I'd expect this, givent he show's attitudes and ...

By Brad Curran Paragraphs and complete sentences; these things are unnecessary when reviewing comics. All I need is sentence fragments and pop culture references. Okay, there will be footnotes for the slow members of the class. Wedensday Comics #11- Eh. Later.****

By Bill Reed Once again, thanks to the Discount Comic Book Service for being such nice chaps. Buffy the Vampire Slayer #26 by Jane Espenson, Georges Jeanty, Andy Owens, Michelle Madsen, and Jimmy Betancourt (Dark Horse) Anyway, the comic. Oz is back. Yay, Oz! Now can we get more racist Dracula?

By Greg Burgas Buffy is their highest seller by far, with many readers moving from the Dark Horse title onto other Whedon works, such as Runaways and Astonishing X-Men. Dark and New Avengers are the second and third highest sellers respectively, with Wolverine close behind, followed by X-Force and Dea...

By Bill Reed Buffy the Vampire Slayer: Tales of the Vampires by Becky Cloonan, Vasilis Lolos, Dave Stewart, and Comicraft’s Jimmy (Dark Horse) So yeah, it’s a good book, probably more akin to Demo than any issue of Buffy, and I hope the usual Buffy audience picks it up and responds well to it.

By Brad Curran Reborn, Reschmorn; I’m Just Here For The Creative Teams- Batman and Robin #2 and Detective Comics #854 Licensed Comics: Buffy Season 8 #26 and Ender’s Game: Recruiting Valentine One Shot Every Comic Book Blogger Is Required By Law To Review This- Captain America Reborn #1

By Brad Curran B&R is exactly what I want out of a Batman comic. It’s by Morrison and Quitely, which really isn’t fair to all of the people in comics who aren’t Morrison and Quitely. Damien as Robin is a blast, and I’m in for this as long as they are, or at least as long as Tony Daniel is not.

By Brian Cronin Today, we have the pick of Skottie Young, the extremely popular artist (I believe he recently made Wizard’s “Top Ten” list) who is currently doing stunning work on The Wonderful Wizard of Oz and a bunch of covers every month. Here’s his website.

By Bill Reed Still, I had fun, at least; it’s probably one of the best comics I read this month. I am very much looking forward to Tony Lee’s ongoing stint at the Doctor comics– but I’m hoping future endeavors are a bit more open and forward-looking. (Also, the paper stock for this book was different from th...

By Brad Curran The only real reason I can think of not to is inertia; I have every issue of this run in one form or another. I’m having the same reaction to Buffy Season 8 these days, too. I really don’t want to be the guy who keeps buying comics for a complete run, even if they’re perfectly good ones like this.

By Greg Hatcher Now, of course, this is something that comics fans go back and forth about all the time. Most of us who grew up on Marvel comics of the ’60s and ’70s have an idea of superhero comics as being action movies on paper, so that means fight scenes are very near and dear to our hearts.

By Brian Cronin Here’s the latest Storytelling Engine from John Seavey. Click here to read John’s description of what a Storytelling Engine IS, anyways. Check out more of them at his blog, Fraggmented. Storytelling Engines: Angel (or “You Knew The Job Was Dangerous When You Took It”) At some point during S...

By Brian Cronin Of course, ‘Buffy the Vampire Slayer’ isn’t on TV anymore, except in reruns. It started out as a movie, then became a TV series (with ancillary books and comics), and now continues on exclusively as a comic book. Why? Why not keep going with the TV show indefinitely? The answer to that questio...

By Bill Reed I think this, the first Ambush Bug comic in, oh, 16 or so years, is final, incontrovertible proof that the blogosphere has conquered comics. I adored this issue, and can’t wait for the next one! Buffy the Vampire Slayer #17, from Master Whedon and his henchman Karl (is Dark Horse related to B...

By Brian Cronin A new X-Files comic book, done Buffy Season 8 style, would be pretty cool. 3. Alias Almost had a comic while it was on the air, really should have a comic now that it is OFF the air. Wasn't there a Quantum Leap comic? 4. Enos. 4. ... Dark Angel. Still, a comic could ...

By Greg Hatcher I did a column a while back jumping off the idea of canceled TV shows that would make interesting original comics series, a la Dark Horse’s Buffy Season 8. Another SF classic that seems like a natural comic-book series to me is Poul Anderson’s Time Patrol.

By Brad Curran Thanks for the review of Wolverine: First Class. I've been enjoying Van Lente's work on MA: Spider-Man, and I'm obviously ... Two of my favorite comics came out this week and I wan to talk about them! Them, and some thing with Skrulls. Buffy the Vampire Slayer Season 8 #13- Last issue, Drew Goddar...

By Brad Curran I just can't see the appeal in a Punisher book set in the MU when we've got Ennis doing a ... I thought I’d take a stab at this timeliness thing, especially because the stars alligned and I got to cover pretty much all of my favorite single issue comics this week. Buffy the Vampire Slayer: Season 8...

By MarkAndrew So. The Buffy the Vampire Slayer TV show is (A) surprisingly close to what you’d figure it would be about from the title. And (B) my favorite TV program ever. P.S. Anybody know? Did the Buffy/X-men sub-plots and main plot structure originate in TV or comics?) Call it Fake Buffy in Fairyland.
