Reaction Shots! Episode 1.6

Hellooo, it’s been a while since I did this. Nonetheless! I figured I’d just focus on the comics that I’d go gah over more out of the lot in every shipment. Less picture editing then. Major spoilers for BtVS because I am all grah over the plotline.

  • Girl Comics No. 1 (1 of 3)
  • Buffy the Vampire Slayer #33

Let’s start with Girl Comics No. 1! For those reading just the title, no it doesn’t mean that the comic features girl characters although they are inside the book. It means that these limited 3 issue series is done entirely by girls! Writers, pencillers, inkers etc. Actually, I’m not sure about the inker and colourist if they’re girls (whoops, if you are? Cause I can’t tell if it’s a gender neutral name). But anyway, the ladies of comics creation!

The intro to this anthology of stories by the ladies is pretty inspiring. Cause you know, it makes you feel that these girl heroines in stories do it because… Well, their speech sums it up! Try to name all of them if you can!

Anywho, lots of different art styles in this first issue. I quite like it since the storylines aren’t so typical and some characters make you go “OHHH” once you realize who they are. There’s about six different stories in here and in the first one (excluding the intro with the speech), Nightcrawler looks like Desire from Sandman, only you know, blue.

There’s also pages with info about some ladies of Marvel who worked there and they certainly created history! Overall, I liked this! I’d be getting the next two issues (hopefully, unless it sells out).

Firstly in Buffy the Vampire Slayer #33, Xander got to cheer up Buffy. No biggie, Buffy is Buffy. She’s got the whole “ARRGH, IT’S MY FAULT” thing going on and she’s currently getting all the powers from dead slayers and so yeah. Still, she’s being dramatic. It’s okay, Willow knows this too and got Xander to do the whole speech thing to B so up we go! B is happy, hurray or at least wanting revenge to stop all this Twilight nonsense and getting Giles, Faith and Andrew back.

Meanwhile, everyone from CSN and every other comic news website knows who the heck Twilight is.

THIS, this actually made me go, “What?” because he’s beating up Faith. Giles recognizes the voice but FAITH, she should have known too. If you follow the TV series or read fanfics or the wiki, Faith did save Angel (ha ha, spoiled you if you haven’t been spoiled yet) and GOT INTO HIS HEAD. This is so freaking weird for her not to know so.

And then Andrew helped to stop Angel smacking Faith by hitting him with a frisbee. This is pretty cool and Andrew-like. He may not have powers but he certainly would help his friends out. For Buffy/Faith fanficcers, there’s a point where B says that she can feel Faith hurting too, so haaaaaaa and off she goes to rescue them when waiting for Willow and Amy to finish a spell to find them.

Randomly, I did wonder how the heck did Andrew get all the gear and where from if he sneaked away?

Okay, the Buffy/Twilight fight. It’s… Oh man, ANGEL ACTUALLY READS TWILIGHT? He must have or he was being ironic! I would peg him as being ironic since I doubt he’d read it. Or so I hope.

Besides Xander, Willow actually has the best original lines in this issue.

ARRRRRRRRRRRRGH. This is so annoying. It’s all true lurve soul joining crap or something. It’s just so… AUGH.

Really.

Willow has the best lines in this issue. Also next issue is called “Them F#@%ing plus the true history of the universe”. There’s got to be explaining to do! For one thing, Buffy + any romancy love person = KABLOOEY. Now Angel is… GAAAAAAAAAAH. Well, there has to be a good reason or else I hope that Faith is gonna smack his face if Buffy doesn’t any more. I half expected that THIS Angel was a hoax but we don’t really know… ARGH, we’ll see.
