I was just thinking I ought to thank [livejournal.com profile] deborahmm for doing such a great job of filling me in on the latest news about AtS comics from the AtS magazine (without which, I might never have known to go looking for a Spike comic later on), when I stumbled over the links to [livejournal.com profile] astridv's abso-fraggin-lutely wonderful Smile Time mini-comic.

If I'm not, in fact, the last person on LJ to see this gem, then do, by all means, go read it immediately, and enjoy!

It's t'riffic, isn't it? Sadly, it'll undoubtedly be way better than the 'real' thing.

The Spike one-shot is supposed to come out in August. The artwork looks very good and Peter David is a well known comic book writer. It's just that, rightly or wrongly, I don't trust men to write Spike in a way I like him (which is silly, seeing as most of the series writers were men - but then I often thought that most of them never really 'got' him).

I remember Peter David as a competent "Star Trek" novel writer, but when it comes to Spike, I expect a whole lot more than mere "competence" from the writer. And, yeah, I'm afraid I agree with you about the male writers on the series not "getting" Spike as well as we'd have liked -- or as well as so many fanfic writers seem to "get" him.

Oh, well -- as the Mel Brooks song from the movie "The Twelve Chairs" goes, "Hope for the best! Expect the worst! The world's a stage. We're unrehearsed . . . "

Good advice. Maybe I can just look at the pictures and ignore the story?
