Hilarious WTF.

Normally, I don't post reviews on here, but I just had to have a giggle at BuffyverseComics's latest reviews. Buffy #33 got a perfect 10 out of 10, and Buffy #34 got an 8/10? Really? Really? And Willingham's Angel #32 gets a 2 out of 10? Seriously? I have not enjoyed Willingham's series at all, but I would say that my dissatisfaction is either less or on par with my dissatisfaction with the Buffy comics. I'm sorry, but I can't find the Sex-in-Space issue compelling or interesting just a pathetic excuse for a comic that needed so much exposition to try and fix some loopholes that the only thing they could manage to punch it up was to fill up the panels with bland sex.

Dear Mr. Jeanty,
Learn to draw a vagina and just fill up the pages with those. Call it avant-garde, call it Danger Mouse, call it whatever you choose. Just stay the hell off my Kool-Aid.
No Love,
Fender

Appreciated your comment on the issue reviews over there.

I find it laughable that people are swallowing this drivel. This is not what would have been on the show had they gotten an eighth season! This is Joss conducting other people to write fanfic, and if this were actual fanfic, it would have blown all other badfic tropes out of the water. There's a part of me that seriously wants to post the dialogue at badfic_quotes because that's the caliber of plotting we're seeing. If we take away all issues with the comics writers opening their mouths and ineserting their feet on a regular basis, take away all feminist criticism of how the women are being drawn, and take away all personal ship bias, it's still bad. Maybe I just don't know comics, but this is so recognizable as badness that we don't need all the external reasons to be outraged. Seriously, if this is Joss' big master plan, all our faith in him has been wasted.

At least in five days we'll find out if they've been just doing some light weed on the side, or if there is a more serious crack addiction involved in the Whedonverse.

As an avid comic reader, this is a bad series- it's poorly paced, badly drawn, and the dialogue is on par with the "When I kiss you, I want to die" line Buffy said to Angel in S2. Actually, I'm going to relate Buffy #34 to the worst comic of all time- Tarot: Curse of the Black Rose #53, which you can read about here: http://www.the-isb.com/?p=980

Haunted vaginas versus space fucking? I'm not sure which is worse. XD
