I really liked melaka's physique. I understand that the slayer is supposed to be a regular looking girl, but it bugged me that buffy/smg was kind of on the scrawny side. You would think that with all that flipping and jumping and beating things up, she'd have better muscle tone.
I also liked that I couldn't pinpoint melaka's ethnicity... her features had a real "I could be any woman" vibe.
The part with the just cracked me up.
And Loo! That's all I'm saying. Loo! (I'm sure you agree).
The car and the squishing was just wonderful, and I could totally see Joss doing that in a live action show.
The idea that vampires just have a "social desease"... I think there's been people who have actually argued that point on the board!
All, in all, I liked it. I'm always in favor of things that expand a fictions universe. Despite my intense boredom towards how the Matrix trilogy ended, items like the Animatrix still give me a lot of satisfaction in watching.
I did too. I was pretty amused at the foreword in which Joss was trying not to make one of those action heroines with size DDD breasts and 18 inch waists.
Loo was good. I think that's about all I can say right now without blathering on and on about it!
I loved the car moment! It was such a Joss thing to do that I had to reread it.
I really liked Erin, actually. I also really loved the whole mythology behind Slayerness and the largeness of the universe. That said, I also thought the action in this one went too fast =(. It feels more like the first book in a ten book series than anything else.
I haven't read Fray yet, but I've idly browsed through a few other BtVS/AtS comics, and I particularly remember the one where in the first image Cordy was shown with huge spherical breasts and a nine-inch insectile waist.
Not to mention the one I saw yesterday with Buffy fighting the Master in a minidress and apparently no knickers. And yes, these were professional BtVS/AtS comics rather than fanart ;-)
Yikes! I've never paged through the other comics, with the exception of Tales of the Slayers... generally they remind me too much of the novelizations, which I really dislike.
Maybe the marketers/artists decided that females don't really read comics or something stupid like that...
I think it's more a case of getting artists from the superhero tradition and not keeping a close enough eye on them to stop them from reverting to the worst of that tradition art-wise.
