And there are absolutely no nuances in the comics. Admittedly, I've never been a big fan of comics, but I thought I'd give these a try. A part of the problem may be in the art, too. In reading the first few Buffy comics, I honestly could not recognize the same characters from pannel to pannel, which made following the story even more difficult. It took stormwreath's annotated recaps and summaries for me to even understand the plot. With so many extraneous potentials slayers murking things up, I rarely recognized Buffy in the mix, as she was drawn differently in each pannel, (as were each of the other characters.) Thank goodness Xander has an eyepatch and Giles has glasses and Willow wears Rennaissance Faire dresses and flies, or I'd really be lost! This is a problem in the type of story they are attempting to tell. So, my lack of appreciation for Jeanty's art may be a factor. But the story itself doesn't seem to be really interesting, either. So, I'm with you in that I'm not anxious to have Spike show up.
