Read for Book Roast's Magical Readathon: NEWTs Exams. Subject: Care of Magical Creatures, E Level. (Less than 160 pages)
Okay, you know what, maybe humans are hard to draw. Sure, Eliza Dushku is the most beautiful woman anywhere in the entire gorram galaxy, but maybe your pencil slipped. A lot.
And you know, Mercedes McNab has cheekbones for days and was even in Playboy so you definitely know the shape of her human personage, but drawing her could be intensely difficult because you lost your glasses and all of your light bulbs burned out at once.
But how the ever loving goat humping fuck can you screw up Clem?!
HE'S ALL WRINKLES WITH SOME EYEBALLS IN THERE. HOW DO YOU SCREW THIS UP?!
I can't even think about plot, the last volume totally screwed everything in my brain up. Give me a second, I need to take a walk.
::slams down tea cup::
Okay, I'm back.
So, I am not up to date on the Buffy comic 'verse. So, there were....events I was not aware of before I started this. Dead-like events. And without context, I am really unhappy about it.
But Angel's back on a redemptive arc, and Faith is his trusty sidekick. While also trying to deal with slayerettes who are losing their minds a little.
We get a nice call back to season 1 of Angel, with the Morha blood. But we also get an appearance of Whistler, complete with his most iconic line, which feels...really stupid? And forced? Like, bringing him back is cool and all (even though he's helping the bad guys? Which makes literally no sense?), but I'm pretty sure someone reading this comic can figure out who he is without being hit over the head with a sledgehammer.
Have I mentioned how supremely unhappy I am about this artwork? It's best I forget this ever happened.
But I am invested in reading WTF happened in season 8, because whtthfck.

I am a bit ambivalent of this one, it is not near as fun to read as the Buffy series, but I am still hooked and interested in how the story unfolds.

I haven't read the season eight properly so I felt like I missed a lot. but I love Faith and I liked how she was drawn in this comic. Angel looked pretty boring and didn't feel like he's supposed to be. But I liked Faith and the other characters.

It has been a while since I've read Buffy so I was a bit slow to catch up with Twilight issues. I might even have to reread the whole arc :/
The artwork was better than expected. The characters seemed slightly off from what I remember.
It was an interesting approach and will have to read more of these soon.

Exciting as it was to buy a bunch of e comics, I didn't factor how to read them comfortably. Borrow g an ipad was my solution. Though it made me miss a physical book far more than even ordinary ebooks do. The comic itself was interesting but I feel a bit lost and need to catch up on some history of what I've missed between end of tv seasons and this comic book. Still, it had some interesting themes and took Faith in a definitely interesting new direction. Will return when I've caught up some more.

Fun, and much better than Buffy Season 8. The series is back to smaller scale problems and focuses on the people and their interactions.

I really don't need to see Phil Noto try to draw Whedon characters ever again, nor do I care at all what happens to Harmony, but I do appreciate bringing Angel back to the real storyline. Pairing with Faith makes good sense to me, too. I look forward to more of this series.
