Spike vs Dracula 3

Had a very nice lunch at Tate Modern today with my friend M. We were so busy chatting and eating that we didn't have time to see whether the Tate Modern's recent reorganisation had made the layout of the art any more comprehensible. I suspect not ( Read more... )

I enjoyed it very much too. Wish they'd been a bit more sensitive about the cover images, though.

Oh, weren't they awful. I nearly groaned out loud when I saw them so the content was a very pleasant surprise.

The guy in my comic shop has me completely figured out. I was telling him to hold the next Spike comic for me and he just said "I'll keep anything with Spike in the title for you" *g*.

It's nice to have a friendly local comic shop. Comic Shop Boy at mine just bungs all the IDW Angel/Spike stuff in my folder (I've been going there long enough to have one) and lets me pick out which covers I want. I have to buy three copies of all the Spike ones because I'm getting them for 2 friends as well as myself.

That horrible salute cover is the one I gave back to him. The others weren't that good either but that one was by far the worst.

That was the one I ended up having to have. I wasn't pleased, but the comic shop guy is so friendly I couldn't really say anything. It does look as if next issues are better (or at least the subject matter is).

I thought the story was fine. I had no problems with it, especially since it dovetailed into an episode of the show rather neatly. IDW shouldn't have allowed that particular cover, though. It was up to them to tell the artist it wouldn't do and they didn't.

I doubt they'll make a similar mistake again, though.
