If I remember your review of the first issue correctly you’d already determined to see the comics as a S1 style romp so kudos for consistency.
Yes, I'm trying to stay optimistic by not raising my expectations too high.
However you’ve commented on posts (by myself and stormwreath) which do see greater depths to the series without contesting those points.
I saw enormous potential when I read issue 5. The only issue that made me cry. The only issue that really is on a par with the finest TV episodes, IMHO. Funnily, the majority of fans dimissed it as mediocre. :shrugs:
Or play social worker to her:-)
Good point. :-) - But not in Jossverse. Heroic sci-fi epic is hardly a genre for stories about social work.
I agree that Faith's arc ends as a story about psychology and character. But it ends as social drama while in the beginning there was strong tragic potential in the arc. I hoped for a bigger-scale conflict and more heartwrenching resolution.
So I don’t think it’s a misunderstanding keeping them apart but an all too clear understanding.
Interesting interpretation. I hope Buffy-Giles conflict will be addressed in the next issue. Because, frankly, what I see on the page doesn't convince me that Buffy understands the situation as you describe it. I only see her hurt and feeling betrayed. Maybe SMG could play a wide range of emotions here, but a drawing can't convey it.
