Yepp, it's real comic panel!

Jan 21, 2015 20:30

So, that "Spike with the kittens" draft by Megan Levens turned out to be a real panel, yay!

It's most likely Illyria (but she died in the comics, too, so...)

I have a theory!

1) it's a "gotcha" (a dream / hallucination / demon, whatnot)

2) there will be some new convoluted explanation that Illyria's death somehow "freed" Fred's soul.

3) The writers are just flat-out ignoring tv show canon, a la ignoring the fact that Willow killed Warren when they brought him back in S8.

In any case, don't ask - you'll only wind up with a headache.

Or they will just repeat what already was in "Spike: After the Fall": when Illyria is in a bad shape, she uncontrollably turns into Fred.

Looking at this panel I'm amused by Megan's recent assertion that she felt she really "nailed" Spike's likeness. (And that's Anya?) But anything would be better than Jeanty's artwork.

rbfvid January 22 2015, 16:06:00 UTC

Well, to Megan's defense, Rebekkah Isaacs' Anya was unrecognizable as well, so no change here. But Spike - yeah...

red_satin_doll January 22 2015, 20:45:59 UTC

But Spike - yeah...Oh good, it's not just me. She's got some details ok - cheekbones. check. broken eyebrow/scar, check. But the NOSE makes him look comical, if anything ( ... )

Luckily, Willow is a redhead, so at least I have a way to recognize her)
With most of the other female charcters (except Faith, who almost always looks like herself) it's a serious problem.

So far season 10 is definitely better than s9.

Good to know! I may check it out :)

May I ask why you got fed up with it to begin with? Just curious.

I've looked at the preview pages online and i was tempted to order them when they had the sale 99cents and issue for Buffy's birthday; but then I actually start to THINK about what's going on and i have to say "no thanks." This season does have it's charms though - I like that Buffy and Willow are interacting as friends again, and it feels more natural.

I like the story

double_dutchess January 25 2015, 00:17:31 UTC

Spike and kittens, yesss!!!! Definitely the best part of the issue!

rbfvid January 25 2015, 01:20:31 UTC

Yepp! And I feel some serious spangel symbolism here... I mean - Angel saves puppies, Spike saves kittens. That MUST mean something!

double_dutchess January 25 2015, 01:30:57 UTC

I was thinking about that too... Personally I think it's fitting, because Angel has always reminded me more of a dog and Spike of a cat. And obviously it's a case of "anything you can do, I can do better." I mean, cats are clearly superior animals and Spike saved not one but six of them ! (Just kidding; I love dogs too -- just not as much as cats ;-)

rbfvid January 25 2015, 01:48:06 UTC

Cats can purr, that surely makes them superior!
IMO, when it comes to apperances, Angel is a big shaggy dog and Spike is a cat. But character-wise it's the other way around - Angel is a cat and Spike is a hyperactive puppy. Pretty much like it's described
