Spike: Old Times

SPIKE: OLD TIMES

Written by Peter David, art by Fernando Goni.
Spike returns to the comic book world in this special one-shot written by fan-favorite writer Peter David!

On a dark night in 1880s London, a young poet named William was humiliated by an elegant woman named Cecily and fled into the night... not realizing it would be the first night of the rest of his unlife. But Cecily had a few secrets of her own. Now it's over a century later, elegant Cecily is a vengeance demon named Halfrek endeavoring to destroy another young poet, and William the Vampire -- the renowned Spike -- is squaring off against her to try and even the scales.

48 pages, $7.49.

The plot sounds really interesting and the artwork looks fantastic!

Artwork definitely looks better than the Spike and Dru comic that looked nothing like spike or dru.

Woot!

Heh. Sounds like the Firefly Action Figures that look nothing like Mel.

Thanks for the link, Lisa. It looks interesting, and I'm very impressed with the artwork.

I was just taking a second look at the picture and noticed Spike has longer hair and dark roots. I discounted it set after soul because of being crazy but now I'm wondering if this could be set somewhere around Lessons. That would take care of any problems with having unsouled Spike be heroic and care about someone that isn't Buffy.

Possibly. Which, hey, would be great. On the other hand, based on the way that he wrote Q (and the fact that he decided to make Q one of the heroes in the TNG novel I read) then he's capable of having unsouled Spike be the hero. Q was hardly "moral" in any conventional sense and yet he is the good guy in "Q Squared" even if other characters refuse to believe he is.

Again, having read PAD's work before and seeing how pretty the artwork is, I'm willing to give it a chance to see what he as created. I can hope that it's good. . .at least until I'm prooved otherwise.
