I must confess, I have "No Future For You" parts 3 and 4, but have not read them. It almost feels like, in Buffy Season 8, if there is something I would HATE to see, that is what happens. I just don't want to read them in case I really do dispise what they do to Faith. I have not read spoilers for them either. I know Bad Buffy Fan, but it is almost as if they are stripping them of everything that I love about the character development, that Geogres Jeanty has drawn them as years younger than they are, and they have made them into malajusted teenagers again. That they have not grown from where they left them, and instead have regressed.

With Faith, if they take away her redemption, and fight to continue it, I may start a bonfire with all the comics in protest! I wish she was with Angel, as that is more of a theme in A:ts.

The past couple of days I have been on a Supernatural kick, watching all of Season One again, even rewatching favourite episodes. Really enjoyed that, but the Wincest is not happening for me at all. I can see the RPS, BIG style, when I see the two actors together, just not the Wincest. Then maybe that is my hang-up!

Been re-reading some favourite fanfic as well. I am word perfect on them, but still keep going back. As it is Christmas, I think I will go and read some more of lilithbint's Christmas stories at The Crypt The Link Is Here.

ETA Read them now, may do a review later, after I get some sleep.

I think you should read the issues. I can't promise you'll love them but I found them fine. Not great but you know, not too bad. Honestly give them a try.

I loved the 1st Supernatural season. I thought the second was ok, but I'm pretty much in love with the 3rd. I don't want to spoil you in case you haven't seen it yet but my love has a lot to do with a certain girl called Bela. And I think that the storyline is very good.
In some episodes I seriously wish they weren't brothers. But it might be the chemistry between the actors! God, they just beg to be slashed!!

And thank you plenty for the link :)

*hugs*

I know, just if they do a retro on Faith, and where she was in Season 7, I will be so angry!

Season 1 of Supernatural is a great intoduction Season to a show. I love crossovers with them, just cannot read the Wincest, so I feel kind of out of it for reading fanfic! Might find a het pairing I like I guess!

But when it comes to RPS, I can so get into it!

My pleasure, hope you find some stories you like!

Read them. It gets better, I promise :)

[http://users.livejournal.com/woman_of_/]

I have them, so I really should read them I guess. Just a bit frighted to, in case I hate the story! Will not know until I read them :-)

I was really impressed with it, especially the last one

[http://users.livejournal.com/woman_of_/]

Guess I should sit down an read them. I am probably imagining it is worse than it is. I just really like Faith.

I guess you wouldn't know how you feel about the last two issues unless you read them. :)

Personally, I loved them. No Future For You is much better than The Long Way Home, that's for sure.

that Geogres Jeanty has drawn them as years younger than they are

I think GJ got them right for their age. They're 24, anyway. That's pretty young.

[http://users.livejournal.com/woman_of_/]

I have got them, so I guess I really should read them! Just gearing myself up for it, with the matches ready!

They are too young. 24 should look adult, and at here prime of young adult hood, with everything in proportion, including the head. Which should be defined, not childish.

To say the truth, I'm not that impressed with the art in both BtVS and AtS. BtVS tends to be a bit too cartoonish. AtS has the characters without expressions (something BtVS' art is better than AtS' at) as well as drawing the body angle of women's bodies (like the way Nina was drawn as she talked to Angel and the way Illyria's body looked while holding Angel). Thankfully, though, art isn't why I'm reading these comics. :)

I think face wise, the characters in BtVS comics look really good. Willow looks exactly like Willow IMO, especially S6 Willow. Xander actually looks more adult than Nicholas Brendon (face wise), Nick has boyish features, Xander in the comics doesn't. Except in #10 because the artist is different. Dawn and Giles look really good in Jeanty's art, Jeanty is the only artist that got Giles right. Buffy is the only one IMO who looks younger, but then again, she gained some weight, her face is fuller, that got to make her look youngish. Moreover, they're all young. It's not like they're 60 *wink*

I've seen lots of 24 year olds who look really like kids. All the BtVS actors in S1 were in their 20s, except Sarah who was 19. And look at how young they looked. Nicholas Brendon was 26 in S1 and he successfully passed for 16.

The one which really gets me is Buffy, it is not that she looks young, with how he has drawn the head, she looks childish. The problem with Buffy being the biggest grip is she is the main character. Jo Chen's covers are fantastic, and have captured her image, which means that the oversize head inside by Jeanty is even worse.

Xander does look good, and Giles is not bad, again when Jo Chen is doing them. I know her covers allow her more time to capture a good likeness rather than doing a lot of panels as well.

I got used to Urru's work via Asylum and Shadow Puppets, so I like it. I also prefer the darker tones to Angel: After the Fall as well. Then I did perfer that with the series as well.

*snuggles you*
I haven't read any of the Buffy comics, got zero interest in anything that doesn't include Angel and Spike (we will not talk about stupid dream)

Read them, go on I double dog dare you.

*Snuggles you back*

I have read them now, not as bad as I feared, BUT....will do a review later, if you want to read it. Instead of hating it, I now want to know more about what happens to other characters than Buffy. Then maybe that is my problem, I might not be that big of a Buffy fan, and the stories are about her. She is after all the star of the show.

*My* problem is that Buffy might be the star, but we don't have a clue what's happened to her. I can't relate to her at *all*, and since she was always my emotional connection to the show (as well as Spike of course), I'm all lost now and just don't care!

Look, here's a pretty villain to distract us... Mmmm. Have you seen the Torchwood trailer?

[http://users.livejournal.com/woman_of_/]

Yes, they do need to fill in what has happened to them in the 18 months since 'Chosen'. Without background to say how they got from A to B, the comic seems detacted from the TV series, especially as none of the characters seem to be a follow on from where we left them. Not for me at least.

Will give it a bit longer before making a decision.

Sorry, yes I have seen the Torchwood trailer, and Captain John is looking good, something to look forward to next year. The 16th cannot come soon enough!
