From Goodreads:
Spike is
out on his own, away from Angel's watchful eye, and in charge of his own
destiny. Old flames and new challenges arise as Spike faces a crazed killer,
Wolfram & Hart, and the consequences of having a soul. This title collects
the complete 8-issue series of "Spike" by Brian Lynch that connects
the "After The Fall" storyline to the subsequent "Buffy: Season
8" series.
Now, I think I’ve made it pretty clear in the
past that I love Spike. He is my absolute favorite Buffy/Angel character. But that doesn’t mean I’ll automatically
love anything that comes out pertaining to my beloved fantasy vampire
boyfriend. However, in this case, I do. It’s awesome! The storylines and the
artwork are fantastic. Not perfect, mind you, but damn near. The only problem I
had with it is Drusilla. She didn’t look like Drusilla at all, but at least she
was in the story. I love that crazy bitch. Plus, there was Groo, the dragon and
Willow. Yay! Since I’ve read the comics out of order I have no idea who Beck
and Betta George are though I quite like them and will need to get up to speed
on their place in the Buffyverse. Ok, I did read a bit about Betta George in Angel: After the Fall, but I still don’t
know how he came into the Big Picture. No worries. I’ll get to all of the
comics sooner or later. One day I’ll have them all in my personal collection.
Until then thank goodness for the library! Especially mine since I suggested
the purchase and they actually bought it. To my local Buffy/Angel friends: you’re welcome. To my library: you rock!
