Spike: Into The Light by Derlis Santacruz, James Marsters
3.0
So I didn't know this existed until I received it for my birthday. A Spike book written by James Marsters...yes please!
This selection takes place towards the beginning of season 7 of Buffy - right after Spike gets his soul back but before he appears back in Sunnydale. Spike finds himself in a small California town dealing with all of his new feelings and trying to figure out where he goes from here.
The story itself was good. It definitely had Spike's charm which I attribute to Marsters knowing the character inside and out. Spike has always been one of my favorite characters from the show and I wish we had more stories about him from what we didn't see on TV.
But I had some issues and I think this is because I'm such a Buffy nerd that I couldn't help but notice all of the inconsistencies. The main being when we see Spike for the first time in season 7, he's a little crazy. I mean, he just got his soul back and it's bringing all of his evil deeds into light. And this comic shows none of that. Yeah, Spike mentions a couple times that he has a soul now, but it's nowhere near the level that we see on the show. So what changed?
Also, excuse me, but who are you Dylan? I find it hard to believe that Spike would find it so easy to move on from Buffy when he did all of this for her. But, that's also my Spike/Buffy heart talking.
Overall, it was entertaining but I wish it didn't mention a time frame so I wouldn't nitpick it apart.
