Back at uni, week one and already I feel like a big gooey green monster has gobbled me up and spat me out!
Angel & Faith issue #7
Ahhh Drusilla. Victorian in all her eloquence. That is what we see in cover one by Morris. In a pretty silk black dress, with long black nails, cradling an apple in one hand and two long stem tiger tulips in the other, she smiles gracefully enough with a 45 degree head till to attract a blue butterfly. But who is she smiling for? Not us, most certainly but another over our shoulders. Who? And where are we looking into? A room with cracking stucco walls, sepia ceiling beams, stained glass window... Angel leans over a desk staring intently at Drusilla. We see his shadow but also another's... A clue! A man wearing glasses from what we make out of his silhouette. Mhmm!
Cover two is by Isaacs and we see a smashed photo frame among a bottles and glasses of alcohol. We have a drinker in our midst! The shattered glass spills over the table. We see a happy father and daughter smiling in shoulders at a BBQ events given the tray of burgers all stacked in the hands of the pigtailed girl. The father, apron clad and wielding a spatula. Happy days.
We open with a bit of the past and the story soon defines "daddies" of more than the conventional sort.
This issue answered some questions and left me a little puzzled at the end as to where the story will go next.. Will it be any good? I can't say I was satisfied with this issue. It felt more like one of those filler pieces that are needed to just space things out.
This post's a little short but I'm a busy girl. Next appointment Buffy issue #7. Late-rs!
