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.

Some of the questions didn't have options suitable for someone who abominates, loathes, and despises the Season 8 comics but isn't even interested in the Spike & Angel comics.

I said that 'Retreat' was the straw that broke the camel's back but really I have hated them since 'No Future For You' - the portrayal of the UK therein was not just ludicrous but was deeply offensive. I kept reading them only for purposes of parody, hating them more and more as I went, but 'Retreat' was idiotic beyond any possibility of parody and I just gave up altogether.

The comics have made me lose all respect for Joss, and even for Jane Espenson, and I think they're killing the fandom.
