It wasn't even a good read the first time.

Fuck all of you, Whedon forever!

Oh, another one that hasn't read Whedon's Runaways!

Bahahaha.

He is way, way better that TV than comics.

I've never read Whedon on anything else. His Buffy was good so I don't think he sucks at comics, he just probably sucks at writing characters that are not his.

I read it, found it very interesting. Not his best work, I will admit that.

Very interesting? BKV's Runaways is very interesting. Whedon's is something that never should've seen the light of day.

I found evn though season eight started strong it of really fucking weird by the end. I didn't really enjoy it. Part of that was the artwork though. It was too hard to tell who was who.

....what the fuck does this say?

The pacing on season 8 was completely wrong, that was the main problem. That, and some of the concepts weren't thought through very well. The whole army thing was just plain stupid.

I typed that on my iphone and couldn't see what I was typing. It does make no sense.

Season 8 started off very strong, but by the end, it had devolved into a very weird, confusing story I did not enjoy.

It was also too hard to differentiate between characters.

SVK by Warren Ellis

Is it sad I bought this and have no idea what you're talking about?

I just saw a post on his blog about a new comic he did called SVK that had a limited run and bought it without really checking what it was.

You need a UV-lamp to read some of the thought balloons. They're printed in special ink.

jedispyder · Post by **jedispyder** » Sat Jul 16, 2011 6:50 am

They had an article on BleedingCool a couple months back that showed how they were doing the special thought balloons, pretty interesting.

XIII · Post by **XIII** » Sat Jul 16, 2011 1:23 pm

Do they provide the lamp with the book? I actually never read a complete article about it. But it is sold out, I think.

jedispyder · Post by **jedispyder** » Sat Jul 16, 2011 1:31 pm

I think they do provide a small lamp. Check out this article about it (http://www.forevergeek.com/2011/07/svk- ... -under-uv/)

I'm interested in getting a copy. Luckily they're smart and on the website have you sign up for future updates if they make a new run of the book. Sounds like it'll be about USD$30 to buy and ship the book to the US. I'll have to think it over, I do like Warren Ellis and doubt this'll be a book I can download
