It’s been a while since my final review of a Buffy season eight comedian, and since soon after there’s been other developments in the TV-on-comics front (we should have a category for that). Rather than dedicate separate posts to that news, I’ll round everything up here, at least that moment around….

Hopefully the gelt you received that past holiday season hasn’t been all used up on paying your credit card bills for the gifts you gave that holiday season. That’s considering there are a number of books about television that you could be using that free money towards. There are books about TV …

I’m a bit late for both of these issues, but better late than never, right? Thankfully, for me, I was still able to get the first printing of both issues. For most folks that doesn’t mean squat, but I’m anal that way about the very few comics I buy these days.

Anyway, let’s start with the first i…

This issue starts out with the longest - and perhaps first - foray into flashback territory for that “season.” I guess I could have gone through my well overplayed DVDs and checked the referred-to episode for accuracy, but it seemed pretty dead-on to me.

Y’know, I love Giles and all, and I partic…

So let’s say you had an additional $900 lying around and you really loved science fiction shows. What DVDs would you buy?

Amazon is making your decision a little bit easier for you. They have a special bundle for sale, nine different FOX/MGM shows at 49% off. OK, it’s still a little pricey at $90…

Even though that isse wasn’t written by Joss, the capable hands of Brian K. Vaughan pulled off what I think feels very true to the Buffyverse. Faith was always one of my favorite characters from Buffy and Angel, and it’s great to see her back again. And scenes with Giles? Even better.

It seems the readers have spoken … written … voted, and I will continue to review the “episodes” of Buffy season 8. I agree with some of the sentiments left in the comments, though. While that is meant to be a canonical continuation of the TV series, it’s not a TV series. that is a comic,…

Some of you may not know that already, but the latest issue of the Buffy the Vampire Slayer season 8 comic hit stores last week, when originally it was slated to come out, I believe, that week. As I was picking up my copy, I got to wondering whether the TV Squad readers even cared to have me c…

Who’s the King of Comic-Con? Kevin Smith or Joss Whedon? Kevin may have pulled ahead with that afternoon’s Heroes announcement, but Joss’ fans come bearing gifts. Seriously. At least half the citizens asking questions had gifts to lay at the master’s feet. Fortunately for us, Joss came equip…

I’ll have a full report later, but good news for Buffy fans. Joss is currently in talks with the BBC and Mr. Anthony Stewart Head. Plans are nearly a go for RIPPER! Ripper is the long-rumored story of Giles pre-Buffy. Who knows what the plot will actually be, but Whedon reported here at Comic-Co…

And thus ends the first arc of the new season of Buffy. that issue was a bit all by the place. Some sections seemed to jump a bit too much, particularly in the first half of the book, though you could nearly get the feeling that it wouldn’t be done much differently had that been actually on t…
