Still here and Spike-After the Fall #1

Jul 23, 2008 22:37

Hi guys, it's been a while, I'm afraid. All the lab work is eating me up, so I don't get to spend nearly as much time on LJ as I would like. :( Didn't comment very much either in the last few weeks. Sorry for that.
So a short fannish summary of the last few weeks:

Wasn't Dr. Horrible great fun? So adorable and so heartbreaking in the end. All very ( Read more... )

Oh yes, I adored Spike: After the Fall. I am guessing you didn't read Shadow Puppets or any spoiles, so will not say too much

I read Shadow Puppets and Asylum, but it's been a while ago. I loved them, but to me this is even better because it continues the show's plot while the other two could just tie in.
Can't wait for the Spike/Connor scenes!

Hey you! *huggles you* missed you!

I'm so glad you enjoyed the comics!! I loved Spike AFT too, I'm just so curious about his and Illyria/Fred's story, I can't get enough of it! You're right, Brian writes a great Spike.

And I'm also very excited about Fray (and a bit scared too). Looks like Buffy is getting better!

*kisses you* xxx

Missed you too!! *swings a chain in greeting*

The thing about Fredlyria is bound to get interesting and I can't wait to see him meet up with Connor!

Yep, things are looking up with Buffy, there's still a lot of stuff hanging in the air though (Like Warren and Amy)

*kisses*

Am glad you enjoyed it. It was great, wasn't it?

I loved Jeremy. So nice for Spike to have a friend who's a bloke.

It was absolutely wonderful. I like were this is going. Also I think Urru's artwork is getting better and better. You just need to compare his first pictures in AtF of Illyria to the ones in this book.

Jeremy is wonderful (and prove that it's possible to introduce a likable original character within a few pages...), I hope he survives this...The new big bad has not made it's entrance yet.

I'm so happy, that you like it too :)

I can't remember what your feelings are about Spider and the Spikettes. I think you're maybe not as opposed to them as I am.

I'm afraid when I read this, I found myself wishing they didn't have to be in it at all. I find Spike's relationships with this bunch of disparate humans far more interesting.

I think a large part of the blame has be laid on the fact that Spider and co were introduced in A: AtF where, because it's not Spike's book, there wasn't really the time to flesh them out properly and they just seem irritatingly surplus to requirements.

Nah, I'm ok with Spider. Mainly because I thought that there must be more to her, after that weird entry. Why is Spike afraid of her? Why is she so taken with him? I look forward to find out.

If the explanation turns out as shallow as the first impression, I have still time to dislike her.

And I agree, Spike's story is much more fun, now that he has room to develop and we get to know what's going on in his head.
