Re: Buffy Season 8 comics...I haven't read them because I pretty much never read comics, and continuing the story in that format doesn't interest me much. If spoilers indicate the story is going in a way that sounds cool, I might pick them up at some point. However, what I've read about them so far sounds uninspiring.
Comics is one of those mediums that you either like or don't like. Get or don't get. I love them. But I'm a visual medium whore. I draw and write and appreciate good art - specifically art that shows people moving or tells a story. Comics appeals to my kinks. I wish they didn't - have no clue what to do with the things after I buy and read them. I have five to six boxes I need to get rid of. And I thought I'd kicked the habit with my BTVS addiction, but stupid Whedon decided to write comic books and take the series to them...sigh. So I've come full circle again!
I really liked comics as a kid. Never owned them myself, but regularly devoured those belonging to friends. I still appreciate them as an art form, but they no longer seem to grab me. I recently bought the first collected volume of "Sandman" since everyone always told me that series is amongst the best "adult" comics on the market. And I thought it was just...ok. Loved some of the artwork, but not enough to consider buying the second collection. I wonder at what point I lost the love for that format? And why?
