lady_windermereWell a typical with Bank Holiday Weekend, LJ has been quiet, so I have been lurking round the messageboards to see what is being said about the comics. Yes I even fortified myself with a cup of coffee and ventured into the Dark Horse Buffy one.
There is a lot of speculation about Twilight. Such as why is this Big Bad such a mystery, and who is he. I have seen this already, and heard the rumours about Riley, Celeb, but Giles was a new one on me. Not sure I think he is any of them to be honest. I think they are just playing with the readers, cos after all speculation keeps things interesting.
Oh yes, we had Buffy use the same move he did on Celeb when she halved him in to = Celeb, and then there was the itchy neck = Riley, not really sure where Giles comes into it myself.
If we are waiting for the return of some Big Bad from the television series, then neither Riley or Giles make any sense. They were never Big Bads. Quite the opposite in fact. If the Big Bad who returned was indeed Warren (who would only be a Big Bad to Joss in my book), then we do not need to know who he is, or off him already. He could've been observing Buffy and Co for some time, and know her moves that way.
Anyway, I am not sure I really care to be honest, and, yes waiting for each new issue for such a long period of time, especially with arcs which branch off, leaving the main arc unattended for months, doesn't help.
I keep thinking I will stop buying the Buffy comic, but then I continue to do so. Mainly I will keep buying to see the next arc with Fray. I want to know how Buffy and Fray interact. They are now the only two Slayers how have been the chosen one on their own. Even Faith was not a lone Slayer, as Buffy was alive.
So yes, they are still temping me with what I hope will be a good story arc. But I think they are on their last legs as far as I'm concerned if the Fray arc doesn't capture me!
Now off to enjoy the sunshine....WOW another Bank Holiday, with blue skies, Sun and Warm. No rain! Have we moved?
