Angel 'Masks' comic book out
The Angel 'Masks' comic book is out (and way too much at 7.49) it has a short Cordelia story. The art does look good and like Charisma, its more graphic novel then comic book looking.
Storyline... Cordy is walking to the season one office with a coffee and a dress in a dry cleaning bag. She is wondering if she is worthy enough for the visions since Doyle was not meant to give them to her. She gets to the door of the office and has a vision that drops her to the floor. In the vision we see Cordy in the sweres nailing a young girl with an Ax. She says there is no way she would kill anyone then she goes into the office and finds a huge demon looking for Angel. He says he is going to leave Cordys corpse for Angel to find. Cordy runs down the stair to Angels weapons. The demon does the normal 'You cant run girl' and he sees Cordy with a crossbow 'Does it look like Im running?' she shoots the arrow into the demons skull and then takes off. (by the way the pic of Cordy with the crossbow is the same as when she pointed it at Spike on the show its like they painted that screen grab.) Cordy grabs an ax and runs into the sewers under Angels office, the demon runs affter her. Cordy is hiding behind a wall to nail the demon with the ax when a runaway girl runs from the demon. Cordy stops just in time to not kill her (though she does nick her). The demon finds the girl and is about to kill her when Cordy comes up from behind and kills it with an ax to the back of the head. Cordy is sorry she nicked the girl but she thanks her for saving her life. Then we see the girl leaving in an ambulance in front of the office. Cordy thinks that maybe she is worthy of the visions. She talks about an audition that she hopes she aced that day... but I looked great in that dress." To be honest I kind of dont like it. Thought I like a Cordy kicking ass story, its stupid because acording to Joss's retelling of the series... Cordy was meant to get the visions and go on an evil killing spree before Jasmine is born. Kind of takes all the punch out of the "Doyle was meant for the visions not me.... maybe I can be worthy of them." thing.

Sounds really good. The "more like a graphic novel than comic book" thing reminds me of season 2 of The O.C but that's just because i'm strange lol.

I'm good with the plot - anytime Cordy is being portrayed as the courageous, sharp tongued and self introspective character I watched on Ats, I'm down with that. I didn't buy Skip's horsesh** in S4 about the visions being Jasmine's manipulation - sounded like last minute retconning by a short little Numfar who shall not be named - but here's a hint, he doesn't care that much about things like continuity and character evolution.
Cordelia's conflict in this comic just proves that her story before S4 was right on and Skip was full of crap. |
