Buffy Comic Poll - Have you now or have you ever tried the Buffy comics?

[shadowkat]

This poll is at the request of shapinglight and in direct response to a discussion shapinglight, beergoodfoamy and I were having regarding comic readership. We were wondering how many of the television fans actually read or were reading the comics, how many were continuing to read them or had given up, why they'd given up, why they were still reading, and how many were fans of the comics but not of the tv series. Not sure this poll will answer any of those questions. But hey, it's worth a shot.

So please pass the link along...the more responses the better. Especially if you are fan and have never read the comics, or are a fan and started to read them and gave up? Please respond to the poll - you only have to respond to a couple of questions...since the latter ones don't apply to non-readers of the comics.

Polls are tough to create - because you can't edit the things. You always forget something. So if I did, just explain your take in the comments, keeping in mind that I can't edit the poll! And you are dependent on people responding to them. But they are also a lot more fun and more informative than memes...in my opinon. Anyhow...thanks.

Best pairing in the comics romantic or otherwise?

Buffy and Fray! I love that arc and I loved Fray's appearance. I think they had a great dynamic. They go from enemies to buddy cops to enemies again and that final battle was epic. I loved Buffy using the watertower (always using the environment around her) and the battle couldn't have had a more exciting backdrop than Haddyn with all the flying cars and such. It made the battle feel literally airborne.

I could have done without Warren's appearance, but Riley has been fairly disappointing so far also. We'll see how it pans out when Whedon returns for the next 2 issues and how Meltzer does with the penultimate arc.

Character that you most want to see appear in Buffy comics that has yet to appear?

The First Slayer is listed as an option here, but technically she did appear in The Chain. And though it's really only as a visual avatar, it's not like she ever had a stronger presence on the show either - she was a dream avatar and a vision quest avatar in the other instances. You can equate Giles voiceover to Tara being the First Slayer's voice in Restless - in spirit, at least.
