seriously, what was that!?

It could have worked if the dialog wasn't so blah.

pretty much nothing but a filler.

TWO stars, just like part 1.

I didn't get it. As in I didn't get the point of this issue. It was just so meh. The Harmony one was slightly better but this one was definitely the worst of all 22 issues. This arc is shaping up to be quite sh*te

Wow, that was actually pretty darn good. I think it holds its own within the series. Oh? Really? Wait, you mean that wasn't an episode of Charmed? Oh. Well yeah, in that case, it sucked. Kennedy and Satsu fighting sentient evil stuffed kittens. Dear lord, this is getting downright pathetic.

And, sorry for Angel comic spoilers if you haven't had the pleasure of reading them all yet (those I actually enjoy), but I guess I'm warning you now:

Ummm, isn't there a city of nearly four million people who can all attest to the fact that though a few are good, most vampires are evil killers who took advantage of hell, and that in general demons are not your friends and will enslave, torture, and kill your loved ones, and that Slayers helped out in the final battle of L.A.'s personal Hell? And it was stated in Angel's last issue that much as the people want to forget and move on, they can't forget. They remember and name library wings and put things about hell on their road signs. How is it so drastically different everywhere else? Does nobody believe them just because it contradicts the seemingly harmless bubbly nature of a freaking MTV star? Why are people so normal in the Angel comics and so unrealistically stupid in the Buffy comics? If vampires were ever revealed to be real, there would be major uproar, and no matter how innocently they were introduced there'd be millions who would question the lie Harmony presented where vampires are all... well, fluffy kittens. Holy crap, did they really go and interpret that literally? Sorry, I'm still in shock. Anyways... People (at least enough to count) would be skeptical at best and after hundreds of years of lore about evil bloodsuckers would probably have a question or two about how many millions of previously written off mysterious perp-with-a-barbecue-fork-who-ritualistically-drained-the-victim's-blood cases were actually committed by vampires. You'd at least have some fundamentalist Christians trying to set them on fire. And would people really be that quick to turn on a group of people just because we don't know much about them and they're trying to kill the legendarily evil fanged monsters? I think you'd have way more people saying that we should hear more about them before condemning them, and all we really know is that one tried to kill something that was already dead and may very well have killed many people, and she was then in turn killed by the vampire on television. People are not this thick. Well, some are, but not enough to keep it as one-sided as the Buffy comics are making it look. And like I said, you have all of L.A. willing to vouch that demons aren't all lapdog-owning socialites.
How can I be enjoying the Angel comics so much and the Buffy ones not at all?

One thing's for sure, in my opinion: Fluffy evil stuffed mind-control kittens are the most absurd and awful attempt at an antagonist since giant robot Godzilla-Dawn and its teenage phrases programming.

Doug (I'm assuming its you since you have the same username), aside from the fact that overall I enjoy the Buffy comics more than the Angel ones, I agree with you. It doesn't really make sense how everyone so easily believes Harmony. But I think you have also got to take into account what everyone's seen with their own eyes. Those in LA have seen the good side of the Slayers and the bad of the vampires/demons etc...but those around the world have seen what was televised in the last issue which saw one Slayer do a bad thing. People will judge from what they've seen with their own eyes. And it doesn't matter how much someone tells you otherwise, you're more likely to trust your own instincts and your own eyes than someone elses.

That was a hopeless issue.

Haha, nice rant Doug, that is one pretty big post.

But I agree, I will keep reading the Buffy ones, but I am only looking forward to read the Angel ones.

It's like watching Angel and Buffy on tv all over again.

Except that was more fun. The comics just don't give me that same high.
