Buffy Season 8 and Angel: ATF -- LOVING IT!

[Shawn DePasquale]

SPOILERS!!!

I gotta say I love these two series. As a huge Buffy/ Angel fan I've been waiting for Joss to continue these stories since they left TV.

I think the things he's doing with all the characters are fantastic and I'm excited to read more.

Some of my favorite character turns so far are:

Spoilers:

1. Gunn is a vampire! 2. Angel is HUMAN?!?! 3. Xander IS nick fury! 4. FRAY is returning! 5. DRACULA! 6. GIANT DAWN?!?! holy crap that's an awesome, unique idea

What about you guys? What are your likes and dislikes in this series?

Spoilers:

First off, all of L.A. has been transported to Hell by Wolfram & Heart. This happened durring that big fight we didn't get to see at the end of the Angel series. It started to look like Angel and his team were going to win the battle...so Wolfram & Heart moved L.A. to Hell so that there was no way Angel could win. Then as the ultimate fuck you to Angel, they made him Human.

Or something like that. Oh and

I've been loving Buffy but the Angel series has been ehhhh to me.

Pretty much the same way I felt about the actual TV shows.

I'm in the same boat.

I always liked Buffy better than Angel, and the Buffy comic is much more interesting. The Angel comic seems like it has too much going on.

I've become meh on both.

Angle ATF is just so far removed from the show it doesn't feel right to me. Angel riding on a dragon is pretty fucking far off the original show premise of a noir vampire detective.
Too far for me at any rate.

The same with Buffy, if somewhat less so.

I really, really like Buffy Season 8, but I haven't really warmed up to Angel AtF yet. I think part of it is just that Angel had such a great ending, my favorite ever, and I wish they kind of left it at that.
