note: "following" does not imply purchase of a product that may or may not enrage me. I haven't purchased an issue of Season 8, and I'm damn pleased with myself that I didn't
I only started purchasing when Spike showed up in #36 after ascertaining from LJ reaction posts that the Buffy/Spike interactions were passably good (and I'm really glad I own a hard copy of Buffy's Spuffy daydreams- those panels are so gorgeous). I haven't decided yet what I'll do about S9. On the one hand, I'm invested enough to want to know the whole story now, as opposed to just the Buffy/Spike bits, but OTOH, I'm opposed to buying the comics on moral grounds b/c of what Joss has done to the verse.
because the responsible person would also post Bangel stuff and . . . I'm not that responsible.
*nods* I'd feel the same way.
I see both sides of it - how unsatisfying the Spuffy of season 8 was, and how promising season 9 is at this point.
That's a great way to describe it. I'm definitely trying to keep an open mind about S9 and am looking forward to it, but I am dreading the fandom backlash.
