So, I've been on a bit of a comic spree. I found out that Amazon has a company called ComiXology which has tons of comics and an unlimited service which allows you to borrow comics. I was interested in reading Buffy season 8 so I did the free trial and was instantly hooked. I rarely have time to read with school at the moment. 20 units, plus a job and community service has left me with little time for anything else. So having these comics to flip through when I have free time has really been a joy.
I enjoyed Buffy season 8 as much as I thought I would. It was fun and wonderfully drawn. But, this was an interesting find that I found among the unlimited section. I didn't know there was works done by a non-Dark Horse publisher. I'm not sure if this is part of the continuity or not, but I did quite enjoy the reading and the art was really lovely. The story was fun and I've always loved Illyria. All in all, a fun little read.

I love this and the other Illyria series. It is interesting watching her struggle with humanity. I wish there were more series with her as the star.

What can I say ? I love Illyria. And the story is good, the artwork is gorgeous and there even is Spike in it, big bonus.

Wow, people didn't really like this one very much. I know Illyria can be a tough sell for some people, but she fascinated me from the beginning (well, after the, you know, waves of grief and crying from losing Fred). I love her story, because it's a story of finding a new beginning in an end, of discovering one's self, and of discovering what it means to be human. I love that stuff. Her inner monologue was poetry, and the artwork was also way better than most of the Angel comics--I wasn't a fan at first, but after a few pages, I was sold. I don't think she'd be able to hold her own in another medium, like film or tv, but comics, with the inner monologue and ability to visualize amazing scenes, is perfect for her.
