Saw the preview for Farscape #24...

[arevhat]

...and I realized I'm hoping Chiana dies.  Which would be sad, but not nearly as sad as her free will and dignity being stripped away, her having literally no choice in who she has sex with (isn't that called rape?), her being suddenly, slavishly devoted to Nebari ideals, and no one giving a shit or thinking this might be odd, or of some concern.  

Alive she will continue to be used and abused and alternately ignored and maligned.  Dead she will be a free spirit, with Zhaan, D'Argo, Jool, and Sikozu for company.

Huh.  Maybe her death at this point wouldn't be sad at all.

Thank you...yeah, what they did to Sikozu was awful. She's pretty much my 2nd favorite (tied with Stark) and I appreciate that they gave her a hero's death, but it was surrounded by such utter stupidity it's hard not to be bitter.

Farscape would have worked beautifully in the Vertigo vein; I still believe that despite my disillusionment. Unfortunately they seemed to be aiming for a stereotypical DC/Marvel superhero vibe, and in my humble opinion, Farscape does not fit that mold.

I'd heard the Buffy ones were really good... reevaluating that now LOL

The Buffy ones are worth reading-they have some truly spectacular issues ("The Chain", "Anywhere But Here" the whole "Time of Your Life" story arc.) The end arc has some fizzleness to it and I did not care for how they resolved some things but it was worth reading and those issues really feel like Buffy and are phenomenal.

Everyone's opinions are different, but those are my thoughts. Plus Jo Chen's covers *are* Buffy-I can be glad the series was there for that gorgeous art.

ETA: What I mean is that a lot of them did not wholly live up to their potential, but there were times when they really went past it--so a mixed bag with some really good stuff in there--kind of like getting a Halloween bag with lots of medium chocolate and finding a box of artisan truffles. So yes, mixed bag:)

Oh yes, Jo Chen does gorgeous work! I haven't seen all of her Buffy covers but her Runaways killed me.

I've been thinking about getting back into the Buffy-verse lately, and will see if any friends have those issues you mention, thanks :)

I know that a comic will never be able to convey the same depth of emotion as a show with a talented cast, but it would be nice to see them come close. I'm good with a mixed bag :)
