maggie2Needless to say (!) I'm really happy about the preview pages. It could get me to revert to being a Spuffy.
But aside from wanting (like crazy) to speculate about Buffy's smile and Spike's not-made bed, here are three things that Dark Horse has delivered us about Spike:
1. It's now text that Spike has a more sizeable package than the other vampire. Proof? You don't boast to your ex about your package when she's in a position to make a direct comparison with your rival unless you think that comparison works for you.
2. Spike went to college. OK, this was pretty much a given -- but now it's unmistakeable.
3. He's got some sophisticated tastes underneath that bad rude exterior.
How many ways can I possibly say how happy I am that he's back at DH and being written by folks who know that there's more to Spike that womanizing and brawls?
Allie deserves a shout out on this. So here's me, shouting out.
Finally: does that scene not reek of "Trust is for old marrieds, Buffy"? I'll take it over space boinking and bestest day ever shenanigans any day of the week.

Yes, yes, "trust is for old marrieds, Buffy." ♥

Considering what DH has done to Angel, I'm not at all ready to shout out. Yes it's nice to see Spike in character, but it's only since Lynch left that IDW went downhill.

Date: 2010-09-20 06:57 pm (UTC)I don't think Lynch's Spike drinks Madeira, or could kick back with Buffy like that. He was better than what's happened since, but you and I part company on how much we like (or really don't like) Lynch's characterization of Spike.
But we'll take agreement where we can get it -- I'm big heart about the old married bit.
Did you notice that Spike's bed is tucked into a corner the way Angel's was in Surprise?

Date: 2010-09-20 07:12 pm (UTC)I hate how we now have to read Lynch's SPIKE series in order to get the backstory. And I don't expect Joss will be looking over Lynch's shoulder editing it. Seems to me DH handed over an outline of what points to hit, but when it comes the psychology of Spike and how he views himself in comparison to others, we're going to be getting Lynch's Spike when I want Whedon's.
