I really do think, to be fair to Joss, before I rant about Season 8, I should make myself clear about Joss and comic writing.

I have enjoyed a few Joss penned comics, Fray, Tales of The Slayers and Tales of The Vampires. I know that Tales of the Slayers, and Tales of The Vampires are an ensemble pieces, but they had some great stories.

I didn't enjoy "Those Left Behind", but have had real problems getting into Firefly. I have never been a fan of X-Men, so haven't read them, or any others by Joss, only the Buffy!Verse ones. But I Did Enjoy Them!

Which is why I am even more annoyed that I am not enjoying the Buffy Season Eight Series. I went into it fully expecting to love it. Hence the expectations of a rant, and my real expectaions that I will not be there for the end (50 issues, yuck).

So how does everyone else feel about Joss and Comics?

I've read Firefly and X-men. Firefly wasn't IMO up to par with the series, and while I enjoyed X-men I got bored with it. I also felt that the characters were off. I think he does his best comic work when he does short pieces, like the TOTS story he did.

I recently acquired a Buff comic; I'm not quite sure which one but it has Buff, Will & Xander (<3) being held by [probably] a vampire.


it's pretty good.
I'd like to read the one(s) you talk about, though. :)

Yes, I also like Fray and as a result was really jazzed about S8. I did enjoy it up until this latest issue, but I'm giving it through the end of the year. I don't usually read comics though, which may affect my approach to them.
