Buffy Comic Poll - Have you now or have you ever tried the Buffy comics?
This poll is at the request of ![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
shapinglight and in direct response to a discussion shapinglight, beergoodfoamy and I were having regarding comic readership. We were wondering how many of the television fans actually read or were reading the comics, how many were continuing to read them or had given up, why they'd given up, why they were still reading, and how many were fans of the comics but not of the tv series. Not sure this poll will answer any of those questions. But hey, it's worth a shot.
So please pass the link along...the more responses the better. Especially if you are fan and have never read the comics, or are a fan and started to read them and gave up? Please respond to the poll - you only have to respond to a couple of questions...since the latter ones don't apply to non-readers of the comics.
Polls are tough to create - because you can't edit the things. You always forget something. So if I did, just explain your take in the comments, keeping in mind that I can't edit the poll! And you are dependent on people responding to them. But they are also a lot more fun and more informative than memes...in my opinon. Anyhow...thanks.

Emotionally nothing over at IDW counts as canon for me. As Shapinglight says, Lynch's Angel was too flat to move me as the 'real' Angel. Oddly, though I like the Buffy comics more, I don't emotionally think of them as canon either. The Buffy I saw at the end of Chosen wasn't on any obvious trajectory to robbing banks to finance a high-tech army holed up in a castle, and I haven't been given any kind of story to explain how she got there. Among other things we skipped over one of the central questions of her story which is what she would do if she had a choice. (Seeing she's made a choice is not the same as watching her make it). So this just feels like another fanfic -- one of many possible outcomes post-Chosen. Whether it's an interesting option depends a great deal on how much repair can happen in the last quarter of the series.
