Yeah, I read that on your journal before I bought it.
I own quite a few graphic novels actually and trust me when I say this falls in the middle range, not necessarily mediocre, but certainly no where near the level of Frank Miller, Neil Giamen's artist (who can't remember off-hand), Jae Lee, Alex Cross (I think that's his name, he did Kingdom Come), Alan Moore's artists on Killing Joke. Being a bit of a fan of the graphic novel, I am pickier than most. Also, have a little bit of a fine arts background.
In regards to the Buffy Comics? Definitely better than most of them, but then I really don't like most of the artwork in the Buffy/Angel comics I've seen. Tales of the Vampires? Was a mixed bag. Fray? So-so. Serenity? Better than expected, actually like the art in that one. Tales of the Slayers? Mixed bag.
But this is a subjective thing.
Loved the cover though - bought the one with the artisitc rendering not the photo shot of Marsters.
