Heh, I've never thought about it that way before... Still though, Cowboys in Space, Anubis.
Cowboys. In Space.

Wesley Dodds · 06-19-2012, 10:02 AM

Staying in Whedon-world for the time being, here's today's:

Buffy The Vampire Slayer

Anubis · 06-19-2012, 10:07 AM

Eh.

Which is why I've always said that Galaxy Rangers should be revived for that concept alone.

Meh. I prefer vampires stories on a horror level & not Buffy or Twilight type story.

Wesley Dodds · 06-19-2012, 11:09 AM

I prefer my vampires scary too but I think comparing Buffy to Twilight is a bit harsh. I'm not a huge Buffy fan or anything but I remember it being pretty clever... Not half as clever as it thought it was, but certainly smarter than any other teen-oriented show from back in the day.

I've... Never heard of that. Definitely looks worth a watch, though...

Spider-Aziz · 06-19-2012, 01:26 PM

She's cool as a character

Season 1 is awesome
Season 2 is ok
Season 3 is awesome
Season 4 is good
The rest bounce from fun to meh, I thought Angel is a better show overall
But I could still care less about their comics

Wesley Dodds · 06-19-2012, 01:49 PM

Yeah, I couldn't care less about the comics either. I remember the most recent one came out and Dark Horse tried selling it as 'Season 8', all I could think was "Okay... But it's not though, is it?"
There was a desperate marketing ploy if ever there was one...

Max J Power · 06-20-2012, 04:24 PM

If I didn't like Fray or Whedon's Kitty Pryde, and River is my least favorite Firefly character, is it safe to say I probably wouldn't care for Buffy either? I don't know much about the character or the show in general, but I've heard those characters described as Buffy-like.

Going back a page to Firefly: It shows that when Whedon's on, he's really on. All the characters have good depth and development, and their dialogue is clever without being too much.

Wesley Dodds · 06-21-2012, 11:39 AM

Okay, well that's Whedon done. Time for something a bit different:

Cal McDonald

Spider-Aziz · 06-21-2012, 11:44 AM

No idea who this is

Wesley Dodds · 06-21-2012, 11:55 AM

Cal McDonald is Templesmith and Niles' noirish supernatural investigator character.
He's basically John Constantine if John Constantine had been created by Raymond Chandler.
So yeah, his book Criminal Macabre is basically a bit like the American Hellblazer.
First story's not bad. Forgettable but I remember it was a decent read...

Duke · 06-21-2012, 12:05 PM

I can't really offer an opinion on it, since I mainly stick with mainstream comics DC/Marvel. It's probably a little interesting, but may try it sometime later.

Wesley Dodds · 06-21-2012, 12:13 PM

Yeah, I knew this was gonna be one of the obscurer characters but the total randomness of this thread, I think, is it's greatest strength.
Hypesters come in and they never know what they're gonna get. One day it could be a universally-known pop icon like Tarzan and the next it could be Robert Crumb's Fritz The Cat or something...

Anubis · 06-21-2012, 12:57 PM

Not to mention how it makes people wanna check out stuff they never heard of. Case in point, this guy.

Wesley Dodds · 06-21-2012, 01:32 PM

Oh, definitely! I mean, if just one person gets into something like Fear Agent or Morning Glories because they saw it here then, yeah, mission accomplished.

Anubis · 06-21-2012, 10:49 PM

And that's really all you can hope for with these.

E-Man · 06-21-2012, 11:35 PM

I have wanted to get into the Criminal Macabre for some years. I just haven't got around to it yet. I bet the titles are really cheap.

Spider-Aziz · 06-24-2012, 06:58 AM

Trollface

I don't recall where it originated, that line, but I do recall Cleveland JR. mentioning it during the comic-con episode when talking about Serenity...

Wesley Dodds · 06-25-2012, 12:21 PM

Jabba The Hutt

Duke · 06-25-2012, 12:54 PM

The biggest, smelliest, bloated, & certainly the vilest gangster in Tatooine & Star Wars galaxy. In the words of Han Solo, "3P0 ,you tell that slimey, piece of worm ridden, filth, he'll get no pleasure from us".

Anubis · 06-25-2012, 12:59 PM

Turd monster. What's not to love?

Zgirl33 · 06-25-2012, 01:00 PM

Jabba is an excellent villain.
Although I never understood why he wasn't shot or strangled a lot sooner than he was.

Dude can't run.
