Ma...I have to agree with the most recent commenter. Maybe it's because I'm a comic book (ahem, graphic novel?) virgin, but I had a really hard time distinguishing between many of the characters. The only way I knew it was Giles before the VERY end was how Xander reacted to him. Up until then I couldn't really understand why Faith would have let Andrew take the scythe! I really need to take another look, now that I know who is who in each panel. I really haven't absorbed everything yet.GlendaQhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17046789452284260070noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6561869413186077787.post-35973160476889155282010-12-05T05:18:48.202-05:002010-12-05T05:18:48.202-05:00I really hate that Jeanty is the artist.

When Giles was killed, I couldn't tell if it was him, Andrew, or someone else who died.Martinnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6561869413186077787.post-25454083365482679272010-12-03T22:57:05.191-05:002010-12-03T22:57:05.191-05:00*Finally* got # 39 tonight.

I need to digest, re-read (a little confused/confusing) and think about it before I decide how I really feel.Kaarenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05794597879840006165noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6561869413186077787.post-9649723589033763382010-12-02T23:50:51.685-05:002010-12-02T23:50:51.685-05:00Wonderful review -
Thank you for all your effort...Wonderful review - <br /><br />Thank you for all your efforts and bringing us all the interviews with the Dark Horse writers and your own commentary.<br /><br />Losing Giles is just like losing her father - and there is no coming back from that. It like you state, there will simply never ever be more Giles in Buffy's life or the life of all his children. <br />How more devastating can it be to know that the very same hands that killed Jenny in this brutal way have now killed Giles. Their last moments together are now not only extremely poignant, but just think what it would be like for Buffy to remember his last words of love and praise and support with the knowledge that her own choices played such a huge part in bring them all to this place. There will forever more be the memory and sorrow from knowing things could have been different. <br /><br />I love your comments about Spike and how he brings in the hope for their future. I just love this character so much and it's because he has such a big heart and capacity to just keep facing life and trying to make it. <br /><br />Again, excellent review.cil_domneyhttp://buffytube.ning.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6561869413186077787.post-26504171954629850062010-12-02T19:59:23.574-05:002010-12-02T19:59:23.574-05:00What is a "Hollywod Spoiler?"

That's why Season 8 wasn't his story, particularly. The lessons that Buffy and Angel had to learn are ones Spike already knows.</i><br /><br />The idea that Angel didn't already know that by the end of <i>AtS</i> S5 is ludicrous. But then, this comic has never particularly cared about maintaining any kind of IC portrayal of Angel as a character.C.G.http://itsinthetrees.tumblr.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6561869413186077787.post-61514354034078404442010-12-02T10:01:12.758-05:002010-12-02T10:01:12.758-05:00"It had a giant vagina monster attacking a le..."It had a giant vagina monster attacking a lesbian witch but, other than that, it was really, really good."<br /><br />My suspicion is that it wasn't attacking her, but was sent to rescue her, courtesy of a certain snaky goddess. Vag = Portal. But I'll have to see the issue before I know if that idea works or not.AndrewCrossettnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6561869413186077787.post-48111079737763550662010-12-02T09:21:23.389-05:002010-12-02T09:21:23.389-05:00Oh, thanks, good review.

I think I want to say he deserved more than his death to be another lesson to Buffy.<br /><br />I hope you'll ask Scott about his (Whedon&writers) opinion on S8 theme, he said a while back he'll answer after #39 is out.ancahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09726255266840425092noreply@blogger.com
