Buffy Comic No.39 (spoilers)

[Sean Gaffney]

This just came out today, right? (If it was last week and everyone's discussed it, please feel free to @glaive me.)

This issue really knocked my socks off. Not the main plot with the vampires and the grieving mother, but instead the undertones of The Body. This takes place b/w that ep and the funeral, and shows everyone trying to cope.

Best of all, all the regulars are written wonderfully, ESPECIALLY Tara. The art may continue to vary, but I can easily hear Amber saying all these lines. Anya, Willow, and Xander were also dead on. There was even some disturbing foreshadowing for this season (though I doubt it was intentional) with magic being suggested and Tara being reticent.

BTW, where the art *is* good, it's very good, particularly the first and last pages.

Highly recommended. Sacrifice a deer to get this comic.

Is this going to be way to painful to read in light of the last three weeks? Or should we save it for the makeup?

Will relevant scans be forthcoming?

How are you?
A little confused. I mean, I'm all sweaty, and trapped, no memory, hiding in a pipe from a vampire. And I think I'm kinda gay...

Heh heh...Tara likes the box. Oh, that's so good. I wish that had been on the show.

Nice foreshadowy stuff.
