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.

Here via su_herald and well, kind of had a hard time with a lot of the questions to be honest. I'm buying the Buffy comics because frankly, I love my comic dealer and I buy other books from him. So tossing Buffy into my order is extra money in his pocket. But if it ended tomorrow or he forgot one, I really wouldn't care. I'll flip through them but usually it's if I have time when I'm done with my other books. I won't stop buying them because it would be a pain for him to cancel my subscription. I guess it comes down that I'm too meh about them to care if they come or to put the effort forth to cancel them.

And count me in as another that doesn't care who Twilight is and doesn't care about any of the pairings in the comics. I just can't bring myself to care or be engaged with any of these representations of the characters. So many unanswered questions and tangent storylines and just things that seem so out of character and beyond even my suspense of disbelief for a make-believe world.

I didn't answer one question because I'm not sure if the option was in there. I actually *liked* the comics that came out when the show was on the air. I think the Dark Horse Angel comics and the early IDW Angel comics were fantastic.
