Now with the start of the new Angel & Faith comic books - I wanted to start a new thread for discussions -

” 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.”

You can see the remaining pages in easy to read hi res of the first issue at my flickr page -  http://www.flickr.com/photos/nmcil/
I posted this page because I felt it was one of the most important.  The first issue I think is excellent and the artwork is also very good.  There are some panels with Faith and the new slayer character Nadira that are outstanding, but I in general, all the artwork and script is very good and makes a great introduction.  You get to see what appears to be a family portrait was a young Giles on the last page.  If someone has the first preview pages it would be great if they could post them. 

Here is one of the first reviews from LJ:  http://stormwreath.livejournal.com/126738.html?view=3170834

couple of sites for translation - Latin to English  and Greek to English  if I am remember correctly the Perseus Project and Guttenberg Project also have translation as part of their services.

OH God....Angel has a bright idea (not)!  What a jerk.

Like the Slayer.  Always liked Faith and even understand her allegiance to Angel with their history and things in common.  THIS is the Slayer he should have been soul mate (gag) material.  

Angels bad thinking or no thinking we saw in S5 of the series is still going strong I fear.  His working with evil because he can "control" the situation....yikes!  He just does not learn.  Now he plans to undo his biggest mistake (wanna bet it's so Buffy will forgive him?).  

Whistler is evil...I've felt that all along even on the show.  Nothing he inspired led to anything good for anyone.

Thanks Syl for posting the shots!
