This was a hard post to comment on mostly because so much stuff was there for me to highlight and "word" on. I'm finally enjoying the comics (I think I'll be posting my definitive take on them tonight, with my entire history with them recounted down to the mean nicknames my roommate and I called posters on Buffyforums during #34's launch), but I'm someone who's been bipolar about the comics from the beginning. Because of that, I have all the sympathy in the world for the people who aren't enjoying them, because I've been there. Like Lauren said above, I've found them entirely self-indulgent and immature, but that hasn't stopped me from enjoying the current outlook now that we know Buffy's OOC behavior is so glaringly bad it has to be a plot point.

It could very well be genius, and even if it isn't, there are people I likely wouldn't have friended if I wasn't curious about them. So I do think the comics have served a good purpose, even if they wind up crashing and burning in the end.
