shadowkat1. Hmmm...looked at the preview pages of the Spike #4 comic - which will hopefully be available Sunday (the day I buy comics). It looks promising. The art has actually improved. Dru looks like Dru and Spike looks like Spike. Progress. Also, I like the dialogue and set-up.
Then I glanced at other journals?? Apparently I'm the only Spike fan and Spuffy fan who likes the idea of a Spike/Dru reunion and finds it interesting? What? Spike was with Dru for 100 years and she returned his affections for most of it, while Buffy...that's still up in the air, as far as I can tell.
Also it's not exactly like any of these characters are monogamous in their affections. Whedon has created a polygamous world. Hee. Of course it may help greatly that I no longer traffic the boards and avoid fandom shipper wars. (because they give me a headache and have zip to do with characters or story and provide nothing at all constructive, outside of making one's blood pressure skyrocket - ie. it's like arguing politics at work. My blood-pressure doesn't need the additional workout.)
Speaking of politics - a really interesting animation film rec'd by sisinlaw.

Date: 2011-01-12 05:54 pm (UTC)not sure why people aren't interested, except that a lot of them just don't seem to think Lynch has done a good job with this series so far, perhaps?
Possibly. I know he rubs a lot of people the wrong way. And a lot of people don't appreciate his humor (he pokes fun at the comics, both series, and the fandom - in a way that I suspect puts off a lot of people or rubs them the wrong way. ) (shrugs).
I wouldn't even think there would be shippy objections, because the chances of souled Spike hooking up with Dru again are minuscule.
I'm guessing this is a direct response to the Bangel vs. Spuffy wars that give us all a headache. Sigh. And I thought Yankees and Red Sox fans were bad.
