Squee! Squee! Squee!
Spike gets his own story in 'Spike: After the Fall'! *somersaults*
To quote Mr Lynch himself:
I cannot express how great this is coming out. Didn't want to dilute ANGEL:AFTER THE FALL or the previous Urru/Lynch SPIKE tales with lousy spin-off, so we didn't announce this until we saw whether or not it would work.
It worked. It works soooo well.
This is gonna be goooood.
All the hell! None of the Angels!
It is good all my squeeing is virtual, because otherwise my voice would be suffering... (incidentally, this made me realise something: s8 has never made me squee. It has made me laugh my head off on occasion, but never squee. I think I just pinpointed why it fails [for me].)
This is like the best of both worlds - because I was always ambiguous about a Spike movie. This will give Spike his own platform, and yet not be on-screen which would make it too close to canon for comfort. :)
(You can see larger images of the covers here. I really, really want the first one as a banner, cause damn - that's my Spike!)
In conclusion: Squee!
(And I'll leave you all alone now, honest. Squee!)

no subject
I liked the Faith storyline - I had a couple of major reservations, but mostly it was good, solid stuff.
Of course, I consider the comics canon so that might be the difference.
It could. Although for me it's not about liking them - I adore AtF, but it's still not canon (even though I kinda wish it was).
I'm also a *lot* more accepting of the comics format in general
Oh I *love* comics and have since forever. My first real fannish obsession was 'Elfquest', and I devoured 'Asylum' and 'Shadow Puppets'. :)
I've always been a lot more accepting of the story directions Joss choses to take.
I have easily accepted every single thing he did on the show. Including the AR. s8 is a different thing though.
Heck. I've even found the current Buffy ship to be funny, exactly as intended, even though I went into it with a hairy eyeball.
Oh it made me laugh a lot. And the Dracula/Xander thing is hysterical!
So yeah. I'm squeeing now (as much as anyone witha daughter with strep throat can squee)
Oh poor thing! I hope she gets better soon.
Spike is by far my favorite character even though I simply adore them all (well at least all of the television show characters.
Same here. :)
thanks for the news! Squee!
My pleasure! Squee!
