I've ordered the TPB from Amazon, it should arrive somewhere in the beginning of July.
What's the Spike: After the fall thing? I can't seem to find it on Amazon. Or are you talking about variant covers with Spike instead of Angel?

I received After the fall today (not the TPB, but the hardcover edition, with a really cool 3D-ish cover). I have several other things above it on my to-read list though (tales of the slayers/vampires, The host, Fables), so I'm not gonna start reading it for another 2 or 3 weeks. _________________ Listening to you I get the music

It's funny what they did with season 6. I started reading it right after finishing season 5, and I didn't like the new developments: they were too far away from the show, and I prefered to have an undecided ending.
Of course, I was still curious enough to idly check the next issues. Until I hit issue #4, the one with the BIG revelation at the end... then I was totally hooked.
Now that the series has found its pace and we're getting used to its style (I mean, it took me seconds to recognize the characters when I read the first issue), almost every issue adds some incredible twist (I've read up to issue #11 and it doesn't stop!), and there have been some really hilarious lines and horrific moments. I love how the comic books stick to the inner truth of the Whedonverse: "Viewers, be careful what you wish for: your favourite characters might get it".
OK, no one seems to be posting here anymore (and anyway the title indicates this topic is only devoted to #9) but I have to say this: I just finished reading #15 and I seriously, deeply want to hit something.
It seems such a waste to have gone through so much pain to finally end "it" like that. To hell with melodrama!
Yes, Whedon is ruthless, shocking, painful, unfair... and as brilliant as ever.
I read the issues up to 8, I loved the First night issues, they were interesting and the Lorne part was very funny. Can wait to get my hands on the other issues as well. ALtough I agree that it is very hard to get used to the comic style, it so different and I was never a comic reader myself, so sometimes it's jsut seems to far from any kind of reality for me. But still it's very interesting. _________________ "You two are the two who are the two. I'm the other one."
I read the first collection, and wasn't too impressed, to be honest. I also have First night on the shelf, but haven't started yet. _________________ Listening to you I get the music

And today After the fall vol. 3 (issues 9-12). I just re-started AtF vol. 1.
Spike: After the fall was fun! Spike and Illyria doing the smoochies was somewhat unexpected though :P. _________________ Listening to you I get the music
