Buffy the Vampire Slayer Season 8 #33 Review
March 3, 2010 - Editor's Note: We wanted to review this book withouTheTwo and a half men DVD is an excellent comedy season。While Boston Legal DVD tv show is worth watching. Watching House MD DVDis a good relaxation, Best NCIS DVD is on sale. Most watched Charmed DVD is on special promotion. Buy one tree hill dvd is a wise decision. This Medium DVD is much cheaper than its previous version. The Apprentice DVD is the best seller of many stores. Watch one tree hill dvd season is great joy on raining days.If you have bought prison break dvd tv shows, please try The Shield DVD Season, it will never let you down.I love to watchThe L Word dvd andSupernatural DVD, both are great shows. The most well known Bones DVD Season is available at www.dvdsetcollection.com If you haven’t watched The Sopranos complete dvd tv show, try it.How about Lost dvds? It’s cheap and great. And las vegas dvd series is another must have collection.My Christmas gift to my friend aremarried with children dvd and The Simpsons dvds, my friend said this is her most wanted.Doctor Who dvds is a fantastic show。t disclosing the identity of Twilight, but we realized that just isn't possible. So a spoiler warning - we reveal the identity of Twilight in this review. You have been warned... as if you didn't already see the news online...
Last chance to turn away. The reveal is literally in the next paragraph…
Seriously. In a move that's sure to set the small corner of its fan base that hasn't already heard ablaze, this month's installment of Buffy the Vampire Slayer reveals the identity of Twilight, the big bad of Season Eight, to be none other than Angel. That's right, the longtime paramour of the perennial Slayer, and although he seems to still be the vampire with a soul, it appears that he's no longer in the business of helping the helpless.
However, the reveal of the villain only represents half the story, and the Last week a friend of mine introduce me to watchMash dvd season andScrubs dvd on the line,after that I think I am very satisfied with it.Are you satisfied with the Girlfriends DVD TV shows? Yes, exactly.Californication DVDs,I like La Femme Nikita DVDandSix Feet Under DVD season very much, if you like Transformers DVD Box setor Californication DVD Box setor Ally McBeal DVD box setyou can buy it on the internet.
The tv serisesMonk DVD Box Set and the
Mad Men DVD Seasonare also very good, I hope you like it.
true success of this issue rests on the execution of the unmasking. While much of what transpires is thoroughly enjoyable, there's a certain amount of awkwardness inherent to the reveal that mars its overall impact. Although some of these problems are due to Meltzer's script, many of them are symptomatic of the way in which Twilight has been handled throughout the series.
Even though it can certainly be argued that readers haven't seen enough of Twilight for him to establish his character fully, by unmasking him as Angel the creators beg the question as to whether or not his actions accurately reflect his established character. Unfortunately it doesn't appear as though they have, and because of this Meltzer has a difficult time handling Angel throughout the script. While it's unclear whether or not readers are supposed to take any stock in his "explanations" here, they come across as mostly ham-fisted. Again, this doesn't seem to be a fault of Meltzer's script but of the way the character has been handled throughout the series. Buffy herself even mocks his exposition heavy banter as wildly uncharacteristic.
This is particularly unfortunate because everything else that Meltzer does here really sings. He has a clear handle on the characters, with a particular flair for Xander and Andrew. The opening exchange between Buffy and Xander shows that he's just as capable at handling heartfelt exchanges as he is at navigating the comedy that pervaded the majority of last month's issue. However, the moment in which Andrew attempts to save the day by literally pulling the means out of thin air, trumps the superhero homage of last issue. Thankfully his services aren't required as Buffy swoops in to save the day.
As the fight between Buffy and Twilight unfolds and the two twist and turn through the air with the greatest of ease, one can't help but be reminded of the final confrontation between Neo and Agent Smith in the final Matrix movie. Whereas the previous issue's numerous Superman references specifically referenced their own ridiculousness, the obvious parallels here go unacknowledged, and because of that they distract from what should be a moment where the script focuses on the metaphorical bombshell that's just dropped.
Georges Jeanty may be the individual who has been looking forward to The Two and a half men DVD is very good.. if you Charmed DVD want to buy one tree hill dvd it is a good prison break dvd place to buy it The L Word dvd on our website.
Our items are Supernatural DVD very good Lost dvds it is a good choice for you Walt Disney 100 Years Of Magic (164 Discs) for e example the Doctor Who dvds and Criminal Minds dvd and La Femme Nikita DVDs all are good items Dexter dvd season,welcome you come to our website to have a look.
Twilight's reveal more than anyone else. He seems to really revel in the unmasking, in both Buffy's reaction to it as well as Angel's malicious grin in response. Also, I'm not sure whether the string of variant covers that Jeanty has been producing have been getting enough attention, the recent homage to classic super hero covers have been truly chuckle inducing and this month's effort is no exception.
When it's all said and done I actually like the idea of Angel being the villain of Season Eight. I just wish the character had been portrayed differently throughout the series. Meltzer has done an admirable job of trying to salvage the reveal but as of this issue Angel's actions and dialogue simply aren't evocative of the character, but regardless Meltzer and Whedon have my attention for the remainder of the series.
