Not so keen on the comics either. Not very big in the comic scene. Never have been, though I have a few Daredevil comics kept nicely in a box in my closet.

I felt that in both issues, few of the characters were drawn well, even without trying to compare them to the actors. I didn't like the story lines either, for the most part. All of my issues have been mentioned before so I'll refrain from taking any more time on that.

I respect the opinions of those who enjoy the comics. I don't think Joss and company should quit making them. As long as there are a group of Browncoats who love them I say keep it up. I'm a realist sometimes, when it comes to these things(Though in most matters I'm a corny romantic). Joss can't just make a withdrawal from his bank account, call everyone up and make a movie or mini-series just like that. If we get more it's a long time coming, I just hope Joss is actually planning to. I have little faith I'll enjoy his next series, Dollhouse, much. But I'll give it a shot. It seems to be in the same vein as Buffy and I didn't care for that show, nor Angel. I've watched about a dozen episodes of both. I laughed at a few lines of very Joss-like material but overall I didn't buy it. Joss is a genius, a third generation(And beside his brother the only one I can think of) film and television writer. But he isn't a god. He can't make just anything happen in the world of Hollywood and if he tries it'll take alot of time to get anything out of it.


I for one hope they'll atleast release a few "canon" novels. I'm a heavy reader and would love official fiction set in our 'verse. There are tons of fanfics out there, some very, very good and others not so much and then some inbetween.

My point is, saying Joss shouldn't make something just because you don't like it isn't fair for the folks who do. I've voiced similar feelings in the past but I like to think I've grown up a bit in the last year or so, and grown out of such childish ways of thinking.

Anyway, again I am not at all a fan of the comics. But I know enough who are to admit there must be something good about them that I'm just not of the mind or care to see. So if you don't like the comics, do what I do. Don't read them. Or buy them, for that matter. For those of you who do? Enjoy, and I'll be content enough in knowing that for atleast a few, the 'verse still lives on in that way. Though I have my own way. :^)
