Like a Car Accident...

So, in the letters column of the BtVS Riley one-shot, there was an announcement about upcoming Whedon-related Dark Horse projects, including "the return of  the Angel series to Dark Horse." IDW, the current publisher of Angel comics, is still prepping a statement. Not surprisingly, the Whedonesque thread on the Dark Horse/Angel blindside has exploded, largely from a very vocal segment of Angel fans who seem to view this as de facto character assassination (don't ask me how).

And I can't. stop. reading. 

I'm a horrible person.

Whedonesque is so funny, drooling worship mixed up with the most heated, myopic opinions ever.

[jetpack-monkey.livejournal.com]

I mainly read it for the articles.

That's like saying you read Playboy for the articles.

The opinion threads are the best, so much unintended humour.

so what's the big deal?

Change is bad. The most vocal opponent is primarily concerned that Joss has more creative input at Dark Horse than IDW, because according to them, Joss is the least qualified person to write Angel-related media.

...my brain just fell out of my head.

Right. Because the series has gone so well so far.

"Lasciate ogni speranza...

Yup. Definitely one of the more ridiculous and incomprehensible threads I've ever read on my site. Makes me wonder why I'm actually paying to host this shit. And if anyone wants to help me out with that, there's a Paypal button on the front page."

Where's this come from?

[jetpack-monkey.livejournal.com]

Never mind. Found it. Wow. Right there in the middle of the Whedonesque thread.

[steinba.livejournal.com]

Yeah. I imagine it's gotta be one hell of a cluster before the site admin gets involved.
