Spike (IDW Publishing)
''Spike'' is a comic book series published by IDW Publishing. Written by Brian Lynch, it focuses on the character of Spike, a main character in television series ''Buffy the Vampire Slayer'' and its spin-off, ''Angel''. Uniquely, although this is a spin-off from IDW's larger ''Angel: After the Fall'' franchise, it also serves as a prequel to Dark Horse Comics' own ''Buffy the Vampire Slayer Season Eight'' comic book series. As such, it is "canon" to the overall "Buffyverse" in which stories take place. Although originally intended as an ongoing series, the ''Angel'' rights transfer from IDW to Dark Horse caused the series end after eight issues. Lynch had previously written for Spike in the comic books '' Spike: Asylum'' when ''Buffy'' and ''Angel'' creator Joss Whedon approached him to write the canonical continuation to ''Angel'', ''After the Fall'', in 2007. For ''Spike'', Lynch is reunited with frequent collaborator, penciller Franco Urru. Because of the circumstances behind ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
