Buffy/Angel/Firefly - Joss Whedon

First, I am HUGE fan of Joss Whedon.

It started off when Sarah Michelle Gellar's Buffy the Vampire Slayer hit the airwaves. When was that 1996? I've never looked back. I fell in love with the characters and with the talent that is Joss Whedon.

Today, I still keep up with Buffy and the Scoobies through Comic Books. I am a bit of a snob and haven't read all the Buffy comics that are out there. Only the ones written under Joss or his direction.

I've also read the first Angel Comic for Season 6, I'm holding out until I read more before I pass judgment.

But the Buffy Season 8 comics, are a godsend. I've read up to the 9th issue and waiting for the 10th to be delivered.

I watch Bones, but to me David Boreanaz is Angel. Everytime Booth does something like smile, I think of Angel smiling and it gives me a goofy grin. to this day I cannot watch that episode of Angel on a date in that club (thinking of dancing) and not LMFAO. Or whenever he sang Mandy for Loren.

I'm ending my post, because I could literally go on forever here.

I get my comics from there too. I stumbled on an ad while I was doing some trivia on Facebook. It's a good thing because there is no where remotely close to here that I can buy comics.

I think the Buffy Season 8 comics are great...my only thing is I still can't figure out who kissed her. They say the answer is in the strip...but I'm still left wondering. I'm leaning strongly towards Xander though. What do you think?

I'm looking forward to reading issue 10, the whole Faith and Buffy thing has always made things interesting. This may sound sick but I'm looking forward to seeing some more sparks between Faith and Giles.

I felt the Angel first issue was a confused mess. I couldn't follow it. I'm hoping that the next issues things will become more clear.

My five favorite Buffy episodes???? Jeesh, you're not asking for much. LOL

For obvious reasons the top 2 are the same as yours.

Hush and Once More with Feeling

Earshot was very good as well.

(now I'm just stealing from you. I'll try to have an original thought now.)

Innocence - has to come in here somewhere, as that was a turning point in so many of the character's lives.

I can't remember the title...maybe it was in Once More with Feeling...I can't remember. You know the after Willow brings back Buffy (I think it is a few episodes later) and she tells Spike that she was in Heaven. That episode really ripped me apart.

I may as well tell you that I am a sucky huge fan...I don't know the episode titles...so you'll see me say "You know the one...." a lot. Sorry.

ur talking about Afterlife, when she tells Spike the truth. =)

and YES i ALSO thought the angel comic was a confused MESS...i have the 2nd one here and i havnt even read it yet.....meh

I'm also leaning towards Xander kissing Buffy....they show the close up of him right there, i think its him!

Comic 10 was somewhat confusing for me too.....the willow/buffy stuff is odd....let me know after u read it though! I'd like to know your take on it!

I have a long wait..TFAW hasn't shipped it yet...with Christmas and all that I let my Credit Card max out. I have to make a payment before they will ship it. The average time for shipping has been about a month.

I've been wondering about the Spike comics? Are they from the series?

There are Spike comics? haha I dont really pay attention unless Joss says they're "canon". So I wait for the good ol' "c" word, then I'm all about it.

Not sure about the Spike stuff though.

Favorite Firefly episodes:
Out of Gas
Ariel
Trash

=)

I don't think the Spike comics are written under Joss Whedon. Just like the other Buffy comics. I think. maybe I'm confused and there isn't a Spike series. LOL I'm tired.

Have you read the other comic books that they talk about in the letters from fans at the end of the issues?

I'll get back to you on my favorite episodes of firefly. I can't think right now.
