BSV Forum - General - The Bloodshedpub New Spike Comic series Aug 14 2010 12:21 am #1Spikez_tart If we want her to be exactly she'll never be exactly I know the only really real Buffy is really Buffy and she's gone' who? IDW ANNOUNCES FIRST ONGOING SPIKE SERIES San Diego, CA (Aug 11, 2010) – Spike’s first solo series will be his biggest adventure yet, jam packed with battles, action and romance, and explain how he ended up covered in bugs in Buffy. Spike will feature appearances by Angel, Illyria, plus a special guest appearance by Willow! And what vampire adventure would be complete without a villain? This time, a familiar face from the past will arrive, looking to destroy Spike’s future. “With Brian and Franco back on Spike we're going to see some incredibly important leaps for the character,” said editor Mariah Huehner. “Brian's outline for this series actually shocked me, in a really good way, with where he wants to take the character. It's ambitious, important, and truly epic.” This page-turning series will also include guests Tok, Beck, and Betta George from IDW’s Spike: Asylum miniseries. Now that he’s away from Angel’s watchful eye, will Spike be ready to take on his own path? “I think fans will be incredibly proud of Spike in this series. Plus, Willow shows up and there's a great tie-in to some of what's going on in Buffy Season 8. Readers shouldn't miss this," added Huehner. Spike #1 (of 8, $3.99, 32 pages, full color) will be available in-stores in October. Diamond order code AUG10.

We knew that there would be a new potential romance coming, wonder what BL has in store for all the Spike fans. What in the world might happen to the truly powerful story of Spike and his trials in the African caves. if the phrase that is used for this preview intro is even remotely descriptive of the " tone" of this new series about this most pivotal events in Spike journey and the Buffy-Spike relationship - then I think I am going to go into "officially worried" mode. Those "bugs" are one of the most important and highest of the Egyptian mythic & religious creation/life themes. One good thing is that Brian Lynch has always done a great characterization and interpretation of Spike and his life. I don't know if BL plans to have Beck or Tok be in a romantic relationship with Spike, but I'm just not ready to see him move on from Buffy. I understand how unreasonable this is, to expect that this great character so full of life and with his great capacity to love would not meet another person that he would find love and be happy with. The problem that I will have with any new romance for him is simply that, I love and find the Spuffy relationship so powerful - it will be very difficult for me to transition onto a new romantic interest for Spike. It does sound that finally, Spike is going to get some much needed respect and real admiration for all that he has done, both in the TV era and his life in the comic books. After the absurdity of those "heart boxers" and the shallow womanizer characterization from BW - I look forward to Spike getting his soul and heart and Big Bad back. And what a great cover and portrait of Spike, I love it along with that exquisite portrait Jo Chen did. ” Recent evolutionary models have demonstrated what politicians have long known: the best way to get people to collaborate and to think like a group is to identify an enemy and charge that “they” threaten “us.” Michael Tomasello is co-director of the Max Planck Institute for Evolutionary Anthropology. Aug 14 2010 03:38 am #4pfeifferpack I am heartened to read this. I think of all the writers who've had their hands on our Spike they are the best equipped as they don't just treat him as comic relief or keep him stuck in Season 2 mode. I think they actually did pay some attention to his journey of redemption on the show (Spike Asylum was fabulous IMHO) and seem to respect him in his own right. ITA on the scarub importance. They usually are flip in their answers though so I am not too worried that they didn't get it. I'm a Spuffy girl too but given what has become of Buffy in the comic universe/dimension.....maybe a new love would be in order if they play it right. I hate that thought but Buffy in the comics is just not good enough for Spike at this point, not after the Twilight lovin' after Angel did all that damage! They have the best art too.

Aug 14 2010 12:55 pm #6pfeifferpack Busy as a cat with six tails but it is getting a bit better. Got a new contract so some stress is easing and I hope to get back to writing once I adjust to the new schedule. We need to do lunch again soon! *hugs* Kathleen Thanks for the notification! I placed my subscription to this series of 8 immediately. Good News Kathleen - Here is a very good interview with Brian Lynch about the new Spike series - original source - Slayalive Forum Q&A

Nice post from Brian Lynch over at Slayalive Forum - it's really nice to hear from the creators and the new Spike series sounds like it is going to be really good. Guys, I can't implore you enough, if you wanna copy of SPIKE # 1, please go to your local comic shop and ask them to get it for you. We have BIG things planned, you guys are gonna love! And thank you thank you thank you for your support. Means more than I can express. On the canon debate front, it turns out that Joss will be reviewing and sending notes on the issues in which Willow appears, so those issues are definitely canon. And since those issues are right in the middle of an ongoing storyline, it's hard to fathom how the story (at least that arc) as a whole couldn't be taken as canon. Well as I have said, the events of the Spike series (i.e. him going to Vegas) spin out of Angel #38 - because Angel can't go himself, Spike offers to go-so by that logic the events of Angel are canon as well.:) ” Recent evolutionary models have demonstrated what politicians have long known: the best way to get people to collaborate and to think like a group is to identify an enemy and charge that “they” threaten “us.” Michael Tomasello is co-director of the Max Planck Institute for Evolutionary Anthropology. Aug 17 2010 07:37 pm #10pfeifferpack Okay NOW I'm excited. I have always loved their artwork on IDW and they seem to have a better handle on Spike and Angel too for that matter. I absolutely loved Spike Asylum and the Shadow puppets storyline so I am expecting big things from this series and I'll have to get to the comic store to be certain to get each issue (which one carries them near us, Syl?) . Borders had the Angel After the Fall series for a while but I'm not certain the nearest most reliable venue. I know you get them so you'll know where I can get mine come October...I'm excited!!! Kathleen Noble gets all the comics for me - I will tell the owners to order extra copy for you and to put it in my box if you like - I will see them this Wednesday - the store is right in the same shop mall as Taco Cabana & The Hastings - or go by an introduced yourself - There is a young girl that works there that looks so much like Vi in the series. Owner/Manager (not sure which he is) is Adam. ” Recent evolutionary models have demonstrated what politicians have long known: the best way to get people to collaborate and to think like a group is to identify an enemy and charge that “they” threaten “us.” Michael Tomasello is co-director of the Max Planck Institute for Evolutionary Anthropology. Aug 18 2010 06:07 pm #12pfeifferpack Thanks sweetie! YAY, I'll pick it up the day it gets in (which is stupid to say...what I'll pick it up before????). We need to do lunch again soon BTW. E-mail me with an idea when you're free. Jim was talking about it just yesterday.
