Comic Books
A few readers have been pushing for reviews of recent comic book releases, so I wanted to clarify before things get too crazy. In general, I feel very little need to review comic books. Not because I don’t enjoy them, because I do. And I do read the various tie-in books when they appeal to me. But most of them aren’t begging for extensive review or commentary. For example, the “Battlestar Galactica” comics are entertaining, but they don’t have the impact of the series. And I ignore the “Star Trek” and “Star Wars” comics entirely.
There are some exceptions to the rule. For example, I do intend to speak briefly on the “Buffy: Season 8″, “Angel: Season 6″, and new “Serenity” books. However, and this is an important thing to keep in mind…I will touch on them upon completion of each story arc. As most comic book readers know, most books come out in 4-6 issue story blocks. It’s par for the course now.
So, yes, I hope to talk about the “Buffy” comics, but only once the current introductory arc is finished. Provided, of course, I have them all in one place by then…
