Download Your Copy Spike Omnibus Authored By Peter David Produced In EPub
am an absolute Buffy fan, However, Spike is my favorite character of all time! This collection is a must for any Buffy the Vampire Slayer or Spike fan.
I loved how he was portrayed in all the stories and many of them were very original, I also liked how there was a continuity to the order of the collection, You could tell that all this happened after the final season of Angel, and that they happened in order, I liked how characters that were introduced in earlier stories were used again later, I absolutely love Spike and this just might be my favorite Buffy omnibus, This collection was so much better than I had expected, Spike is probably the best character in the Buffyverse okay, maybend to Anya, and this look at extra sidetrips into Spike's history as well as what Spike was doing in LA during the Angel years is a lot of fun.
I really appreciate the little nods to events that happened in the Buffy and Angel tv shows, the acknowledgement of really bizarre plot devices, and references to other Whedon projects.
I think that the last story, "Shadow Puppets", is my favorite the return of Smile Time! as it incorporates lots of characters from the show as well as the other stories in the collection.
Excellent, excellent work, and a great addition to the collection of any Whedonite, Its Spike being. Well, Spike. Covering everything from spats with vengeance demons, Dracula, and evil puppets, and throughout every tale, Spike manages to deal with every fight and letdown with a good zinger and style that is certainly all his own.
Team Spike! This was a wonderful collection of Spikeoriented graphic novels, It included some of the ones I'd been dying to readsuch as Spike: Asylum and Spike vs, Dracula. But the others certainly did not disappoint, The dialogue was onpoint, and the characters introduced in Aslyum that carried through to Shadow Puppets with the addition of Tok, of course were so wonderful that I really wish Whedon would do a live action series based off this group.
Wonderful storytelling, reuniting some characters and answering questions that neither the Buffy or the Angel series got around to, I'd recommend this for any and all Spike fans! O Spike, I'd been lost without you, I devoured this appropriately thick book of your adventures during off hours at the motel on Wed, The whole Buffyverse would be nothing but a black hole without you, and to have MORE of you, canonical but beyond the TV show, made my heart pitter fucking patter.
Esp. the long bit in the middle, Spike Vs, Dracula, b/c I have a soft spot for the Buffyverse's Vlad Tepes as well, And besides, it showed you in little clips fromto, always in high and hip contemporary style, whether you were living the "dolce unvita" in postwar Italy inwith gorgeous shades and glossed back hair, or you inin a loud but awesome LA suit taking Dru to a live charityu performance of Bela Lugosi's Dracula.
And your dialogue oh, god your dialogue. Enough raving from me. Let's just say I love the shit out of you and be done with it, two last stories, "asylum", and "shadow puppets", are somehow the best in the series I really enjoyed the different stories found in the omnibus.
Spike is a favorite of mine from the Buffy universe, Whether facing down Dracula or demon puppets, the Spike Omnibus has something for any Spike fan, God I love him I think all of these stories have their merits in one way or another not a bad story in the lot.
Enjoy! Brilliant, though I might just really like Spike, Who doesn't like Spike, right The Omnibus is a great collection of Spike comics, all dedicated to revealing things which happened behind the scenes of what we've seen with Spike before in the Buffy and Angel television
shows.
Some of it is about his old lifefirst becoming a vampire, fighting with Dracula, etc, And some it is set when he wasn't "in town" helping Angel and that gang after getting his soul, This was really fun for me to read, It gave me everything I've grown to love about Spike while going a little more indepth on emotional and personal levels of his experiences.
Spike is hands down my favorite Buffy character and one of my favorite fictional characters of all time, If you're Team Spike this book is a must have, If you're considering getting Shadow Puppets or Asylum this book contains both, Spike vs. Dracula is my favorite story, You find out why he owes Spikequid,
If you're a Spike fan or like the Buffy comics I also recommend Spike the Complete Series, Some great character growth from Spike and I find his and Willow's relationship to be adorable, Just as great as I expected, Its nice to dive back into this franchise, Enjoyed these witty, beautiful stories about a complicated character, A fun collection of stories that center on the character of Spike, both his past before Buffy and his "present" side adventures that take place during the TV show Angel.
The writing is witty, clever, and stays true to Spike's voice and character, and the stories themselves are entertaining, while revealing more about how Spike evolved into the "man" he is today and how he views himself in relation to the other Angel characters.
The artwork is expressive and beautifully done, though there was an issue or two where I felt it looked inconsistent in comparison to the rest of the particular story.
Overall, fans of Spike will love this volume, I started this book in the summer but quickly realized I needed to see Spikes time on Angel to understand many stories in this collection.
So I eventually did watch Angel and love Spikes time there, also loving many of the other characters, And I was finally able to come back to this book, I have to say the authors really get Spike, There are many laugh out loud moments that are spot on Spike, I loved every bit of this, Some of the artwork isnt spot on Spike but ONLY some, All in all I highly recommend this anthology for any fan of Spike, This was a fantastic collection, I particularly liked the older stories at the beginning but they were all good, I even found, on a second reading, that I enjoyed the Shadow Puppets entry, Perhaps having a little more time with the character, chronologically, made it work better for me, Oddly, I thought that reading the Asylum story would help fill in some much needed gaps and help me understand these characters that I've met in other stories a bit better.
I thought the story was great but I was surprised at how little information was provided about those characters and how, frankly, uninteresting they were in that original story.
Any time you can give me Spike and company through the ages I'm happy and I thought the Dracula story was done really, really well.
