Are any of these worth reading? I've heard they're terrible, and I've seen some pretty retarded shit from them, but given that there's quite a bit to it they can't all be trash, right?
I only ask because I've been bored as fuck and need something to waste my time on, and seeing as how I just got done rewatching Angel a couple weeks ago, this seems like the thing.

I remember that buffy´s sister was transformed into a centaur
I read Buffy S8 and it was kind of dumb (in a "the network/budget was holding Joss back from doing anything too retarded on the show itself" kind of way) but I guess I don't regret it? Didn't really bother to go further though. I would say it's definitely something you might want to pirate first to see if it's worth it for you.
I read some of the Angel: After the Fall trades and I remember liking that more but I also enjoyed Angel more as a show so that may have been why. Didn't finish it though.

If you're going to pirate it you might as well, you lose nothing from it. A:ATF is good for a couple of issues but things quickly go full retard. Compounding that is the fact that they tried to create a comic buffyverse that has a bunch of different minis and crossovers and you have to follow all that shit.

Yeah, I was leaning more towards the After the Fall ones, given that I just watched the show and I always hated the way it left off.
The Buffy ones I'm worried about, because it seems like most of the really wacky shit, like >>91236626
and Buffy and Angel fucking a new universe into existence (???) seem to come from those.
>>91236793
Oh yeah, the Buffy comic. You sort of have to turn your brain off to follow the plot, the centaur thing does actually happen. The characterizations are pretty spot-on butI hope you like Buffy/Spike because that's a ride that never fucking ends.

I'm not really planning on reading all of it, and I should clarify that I wasn't looking for something mind blowingly amazing, I'm expecting shit. I was just more looking for recommendations on what is shittiest and what is least shit. And looking it up now I see that theres a few smaller, stand alone series' in there as well. Any of those halfway decent?
>>91237131
Personally, I found the Angel comic to be more unreadable than the Buffy comic. The characterizations are off, I think Angel is the worst written character in both comics. Also the smaller series aren't standalone, they're pretty much mandatory to understanding the story.
>>91237169
Well damn, so it's one of those things I either gotta dive into it all the way or I'm not gonna understand half of whats going on?
>>91237401
Unfortunately yes, but that doesn't start until the end of Season 8 and the end of ATF. You have a bit before they go full DC/Marvel
>>91237455
In that case I reckon I will give After the Fall a shot then. I can always bail if it starts getting too retarded.
I appreciate it lad

fyi atf was based on the unused plans they had for season 6 such as wolfram/hart turning LA into a mad max type world after wrecking everything.
though i know the ending for illyria/fred was different from what planned since the Angel writers were going to bring Fred back somehow.
