Are the Buffy comics considered good?

Update: I should perhaps specify that I'm asking about the S8 comics, not the ones that came out during the run of the TV series.

My daughter the Buffy nut thinks they're terrible. But is collecting both regular and special covers. I haven't read them yet.

Eeeeh. I'm not all that enamoured of them, myself.

That *icon* of yours, however... *drools*

I bought a couple of the collections at Wiscon. Not crazy about the artwork. In a couple of places, I swear they switched artists. The styles look so different.

I haven't read comics since junior high. The old Creepy and Eerie days. Those were pretty good, as I recall. Of course, I was 13...

Good to know. I haven't read comics for years, and I don't know what the standards are. It is a different medium.

Poor Spike. That's from his sit-n-spin days, the scene where he watches Angelus and Dru getting a little too close.

They are very much okay. Fray is supposed to be really good. The new "series 8" ones, well, after the first couple, I gave up. Although I was inordinately pleased by one particular full-page splash that featured an umm, Buffy "sandwich"....

Are you referring to S8, or the comics that came out during the series run?

Hmmm...it's only half a page or so in the omnibus...

I'm talking about the first bits of S8. I really didn't like what they did with Dawn.

The splash page looms large in my mind, though...maybe that's why I remember it as a full-page...

Fray came out during the series run, and there is also the Tales of the Slayers(?), which is also supposed to be pretty good, and came out during the series run (I think...)
