OK, core dump of brain in progress, put on your hazmat suits. Collected thoughts on After the Fall under the cut. I swear, I just meant to jot down a few thoughts, and it ate me alive...

( I'm gonna tell you how it's gonna be )

Rather than write a review of After the Fall #16 I wrote a drabble, inspired by a comment in moscow_watcher's review. Spoilers, of course.

I won a still_grrr banner for Why Are You Wearing That Stupid Human Suit. Thanks, everyone, and especially xlivvielockex as usual!



Also, a scene in Angel: After the Fall #14 which made me laugh out loud and the reason it did:

( Cut for images and spoilers )

Man, I go away for a week and lookit what happens. Comics.

Thoughts below the cut. Take'em for what they are – it's just the start of an arc, blah-de-blah-de-blah.

( 'Season 8' #16 )

( 'After the Fall' #10 )

In the words of Jeph Jaques: comic comic comic comic. Spoilers, obviously.

( 'Season 8' #14 )

( Angel After the Fall #7 )

Right, so in the spirit of the utter crack that is "Season 8" #13, here are a few icons.

( Spoilers for #13 )

If anyone wants'em, just grab and credit.

I just can't believe all the things people say -- Controversy
Am I black or white? Am I straight or gay? -- Controversy
Do I believe in God? Do I believe in me? – Controversy
- Prince, ”Controversy”

Two comics on the same day? Are you trying to kill us, Joss? We can only wank so much, you know!

Anyway, let's rescue the prince, shall we?

( ’Season 8’ #13 )

( ’After the Fall’ #6 )

So, "After the Fall" #5. Don't really have time for a proper review right now, so just some quick thoughts.

On a whole, I thought it was an issue with some great characterization but which focussed far too much one single event that, in and of itself, was pretty dull. Let's see, spoilers ahead:

( All right, but let's say we're caught in a situation where we've got like five minutes to live, like a bomb or something is gonna go off.  )

Since for once I seem to be the first to get it, I might as well post my initial thoughts upon reading it.

( SPOILERS )

1. Just got caught up with s3 of New Doctor Who and while I wouldn't say I'm completely sold on it yet, it does have a lot of great things about it (RTD's scripts not always being one of them, but...) So if anyone has any fic or similar stuff that I just *have* to read, I'd appreciate a rec! (Also, I need a dalek icon. Daleks > Everything Else In The Universe Ever.)

ETA: Thanks stormwreath for the icon!

2. A couple of Buffyverse recs, since I don't rec nearly enough stuff:

• Of All the Wonders That I Yet Have Heard by girlpire (Angel/Darla, R). Fantastic take on what might have happened post-"Lullaby."
  
• frogfarm finished Big Country (Faith/Willow, R). Post-"Chosen" (slightly AU, see pairing), but the past just never lets Faith go...
  
• I'll Have What She's Having by spuffyduds is a Twin Peaks crossover! (Faith/Audrey, PG13). (And I do have my own take on the pairing, which will be appearing shortly.
  
• Come Into My Parlor by bookishwench (Tara/?, PG13). Excellent pre-canon look at Tara (as is frogfarm's One Summer, My Far Horizon, though that one heads off-canon into very believable Faith/Tara).
  
• And finally, Buffybot's Big Adventure! by Alex Wert sees the return to the Buffyverse of one of my favourite humour ficcers. This is a WIP taking place post-"Bargaining", but so far he always finishes his stories and they usually end up hilarious. (Buffybot/Various, R)
  
• Also, I put some recs up at buffyversetop5: Faith/Buffy, list-type fics, drabbles, episode rewrites, season 8.

3. Finally, a couple of icons I've made on a whim and never posted here.
