Lovely review. I've been stalking LJ, skimming people's thoughts on this issue, and I still struggle to find anything to redeem it. I'm debating with myself whether to keep reading to be honest - s8 is turning out to be yet another example of why creative people shouldn't be allowed to do whatever they want (the major example being George Lucas and his prequels of course).
The plot about vampy kittens vaguely resemble Lynch's Shadow Puppets, but in Lynch' story little monsters are stuffed and they don't get into human bodies. They're reasonably creepy - evil but not repugnant. I found the whole kitty thing ridiculous - not the vampy kitten idea, which could be neat, except it just went completely haywire. 'Repugnant' is a good word. (Whereas Lynch's ninja puppets were just adorable and deadly. *pets them*)
Well, I guess we'll see if my masochistic curiosity gets the better of me when the next issue comes out. For now I'm very busy finishing the next chapter of my WIP...
