Well, guys, I hope nobody minds my coming in here and starting a new thread. Especially one which may only wind up with one post.
But honestly, if some TP wanted to do all the work, I'd seriously recommend cleaning up in this area by combining all of the season 8 posts into one thread because many of the issues have no posts at all.
The problem is that each individual comic installment really only contains about 5-10 minutes of an episode and how do you comment on that?
Anyway, what I really came over here to post is a link to this:

There is a lot of commentary out there about the comics, much of it angry and unhappy. I love this point of view because it is very optimistic and believes in Joss' over-arching story. Personally, I think it has merit. Even if she is seeing things Joss never intended (and I'm not so sure she isn't seeing exactly what he is intending) I"m still giving him some credit for inspiring fans to delve so deeply into (possible) underlying analysis.
I've only read some of the comments, but they are also interesing.
If you've been reading the comics and have recently been disappointed, read this LJ entry.
If you got bored or turned off by the comics this might actually inspire you to go read them or go back and reread them in a different light.
I'm going to wait until the entire series is done and then reread and see what I think.
