Buffy The Vampire Slayer Comics: 5 Reasons To Love & 5 Reasons To Hate Them

2. Buffy and Angel, Together Again (Kind of)

Whether you ship Buffy and Angel, or you ship Buffy and Spike (does anyone out there ship Buffy and Riley???), the comic has allowed the two main characters of each of their individual shows the freedom to interact more than they did whilst on television (well, since Angel had his own show) , and that element of the television series often bugged me at times. Forgetting the terrible episode of Angel (€œThe Girl in Question€), didn€™t it seem pretty unrealistic that whenever one of the shows faced almost certain apocalypse (and there were A LOT of times) that neither of the characters, whose lives were dedicated to stopping exactly that from happening, didn€™t even talk about each other€™s apocalypse, and basically never lent a helping hand. Buffy could have probably benefited from Angels help defeating Glory, and though they kind of explain why Angel couldn€™t help Buffy defeat the First€ I think at that point Buffy could have done with all the help in the world. The comic doesn€™t suffer the limitations of the show in this respect.
