March 27, 2010April 16, 2021 John Hansen Buffy the Vampire Slayer/Angel

Almost as entertaining as reading the “Buffy” Season 8 comics is reading Scott Allie’s From the Editor pieces on the Dark Horse Web site. In a January editorial, he apologized profusely to fans for Dark Horse’s accidental leakage of […]

‘Buffy’ has comic edge, but ‘Angel’ is starting to catch up (Comic book commentary)

March 1, 2010April 16, 2021 John Hansen Buffy the Vampire Slayer/Angel

If someone picked up the latest issues of Dark Horse’s “Buffy” (Issue No. 32) and IDW’s “Angel”(Issue No. 30) as their introduction to post-TV events, they’d hardly recognize these worlds. The story has certainly moved forward in comic-book […]

Are TV shows getting dumber or am I getting smarter? (Commentary)

February 14, 2010April 16, 2021 John Hansen Buffy the Vampire Slayer/Angel

Are TV shows getting dumber or am I getting smarter? I’m not talking about TV as a whole, because obviously it’s dumber than it was 10 years ago. This is because of the influx of […]

The best TV shows of the Aughts … as it happened (Commentary)

December 8, 2009April 16, 2021 John Hansen 24

I thought it might be fun to look back on my picks for “best of the year” this decade as those years were ending (mostly fun for me, but you can enjoy it too, if […]

Dawn. Xander. Kissage. (Comic book commentary)

September 22, 2009April 17, 2021 John Hansen Buffy the Vampire Slayer/Angel

John’s top 10 cutest TV nerds (Commentary)
