Fan Poll on Buffy Issue 36 - now that everyone's read and reviewed the thing

[shadowkat]

Probably shouldn't do this, but I'm curious. Hopefully more than five people will respond. Respond even if you haven't read the things. Did this issue work for you or not? Will you keep reading?

[And I can't edit the poll - I tried - so yes there's a mistake. The blank ticky box is for none of the above.]

Eh. The point of the poll is not to see what individuals think (I know that more or less), but what the vast majority of readers or fans think. If you don't vote - you can't be counted. Silly. ;-)

Right now, the ambivalents have it. Not surprising. This is not a comic that inspires devotion from an emotional level, intellectual maybe...

True, my reaction is primarily intellectual. But having just read NFFY, I still think it's very powerful emotionally. There's some chance that other parts that seem drier will look differently when one reads the comics as a whole.

I do think the comics will play better with the crowd that comes to them after their done. Much as season 6 did.

Agreed. I really do feel it'll play better once its done, but also if its read all together.

I know a lot of fans who hated Buffy in Season 6 because they overidentified with her, and now they feel complete sympathy. It's not outrageous to think that people reading the story once its complete and going back to reread it will have a different emotional reaction.
