Yes, she had some issues and kind of went bad but when she reappeared in Angel and had that break down in the rain Also, I think the dynamic between Angel and Faith has always been one of my favorites Buffy Season 9 Library Edition Volume 1 I was super excited to see that they got their own seasons. However, I probably should have finished reading Buffy season 8 before starting this because major spoilers happened. So I will be going back and finishing that and paying more attention to where things fall in this universe lol The main arc of this story is Angel is trying to atone for something he did at the end of Buffy season 8 - in total Angel fashion. Faith is there trying to bring Angel back and stop him from losing himself completely in this mission. She's also trying to watch out for the new slayers and deal with her own issues, because let's be honest, it's Faith and she has a lot. The story was fun and moved well. We got to see some old favorites make appearances along with references back to the show. This is one series I am super excited to see where it goes. May 28, FrontalNerdaty rated it it was amazing. Live through this Angel and Faith teaming up is the best thing to come out of Buffy season 8. The first arc of the duo sees them using Giles diaries as a means to keep up his mission and Buffy Season 9 Library Edition Volume 1 trying to find means to bring him back. Faith is a Live through this Angel Buffy Season 9 Library Edition Volume 1 Faith teaming up is the best thing to come out of Buffy season 8. The cover art by Steve Morris are stunning and Rebekah Issacs art is gorgeous. The actors likenesses are there but no drawing ever looks like a sketch but rather Issacs has captured their likenesses near perfect. A sex tape which sees Harmony siring someone is about to be exposed unless a reluctant Angel and Faith can find out who is doing it and put a stop to it. This arc is an excellent read that truly captures the tone of the a Whedonverse show with stellar pacing and enough hooks to keep you reading. The themes of guilt, atonement and acceptance are rife throughout and Christos Gage really shows an understanding of these characters with writing that shows this. Angel is offered the chance to accept his past and have it not affect him but rejects this as he made peace with it as a way to feed his need for redemption. Not so much. Women of a certain age Chris Samnee! The art is excellent and the story solid. Jan 19, TJ rated it it was amazing Shelves: graphic- novelsfavorite-graphic-novelsbuffyverse. This series is Buffy Season 9 Library Edition Volume 1 perfect. All stellar! And the incorporation of Giles into the plot is so well done and natural. His aunts are also nice additions to the Buffyverse; I love them! A great first installation of a very promising series. This is the most enjoyable Buffyverse comic book I have read, and it almost makes all the frustration of Buffy Season 8 worth it. But there is brilliant characterization, great art and exciting story. Highly recommended. Dec 08, Jessamyn Leigh rated it really liked it Shelves: read-comics-graphic-novelsread Bonus star for Dru.

Early Buffy episodes with Faith were designed to make you dislike her, but I'm glad that she's given more depth and motivation within the comics realm. Found use of the "R" word once within the collection, and I don't care if it was from a bad guy. There's no reason to keep using it. I know you comic writers can find another way of displaying one-note villainy than perpetuating ableist slurs. It's lazy Buffy Season 9 Library Edition Volume 1 - do better! Aug 24, Tortla rated it liked it Shelves: comicsdragons-and-fantasygigglesdragony- dragonsmultiple-perspectives. Faith says "Five-by-Five" too much and Angel McBroodypants was never my favorite, but it's definitely more linear and consistent than the Twilight arc of the Buffy comics, and I'm enjoying getting some glimpses into Giles's past. I'm glad view spoiler [Drusilla didn't stay sane hide spoiler ]but it was definitely interesting view spoiler [to get a glimpse of what that version of her could have been like hide spoiler ]. Sep 05, Allyson Stallman rated it really liked it Shelves: books. Angel on his own show was less of an annoyance because he had more purpose than to brood over Buffy all the time. But back in her universe in this comic - it was more of the same old Angel. My favorite second slayer. She more than made up for the old broody Angel. Dec 26, Candra rated it it was amazing. Faith was always my favorite character of the entire Buffy-verse, so of course I'm biased and loved this. An enjoyable read. Angel and Faith are a great pairing and this is probably my favourite of the Buffy comics so far. Aug 21, Fran rated it really liked it Shelves: ownBuffy Season 9 Library Edition Volume 1c-gn. The Daddy Issues arc is particularly strong. It's a shame that the Drusilla series never saw the light of day.

  • Would You Understand What I Meant If I Said I Was Only Human?”
    ”Would you understand what I meant if I said I was only human?” The Image of the Vampire in Stephenie Meyer’s Twilight and Charlaine Harris’s Dead Until Dark Jessica Dimming Fakulteten för humaniora och samhällsvetenskap English IV 15hp Supervisor Magnus Ullén Examiner Adrian Velicu HT 2012 Abstract In this essay I have decided to look at two very popular vampire novels today, Dead Until Dark by Charlaine Harris and Twilight by Stephenie Meyer. The focus of this essay is to look at the similarities and differences between these two novels and compare them to each other but also to the original legend of the vampire; this by using Dracula and other famous vampire stories to get an image of the vampire of pop-culture. I look at the features of the vampires, their abilities and different skills, and also sex and sexuality and how it is represented in these different stories. Even though the novels attract a wide audience they are written for a younger one and have a love story as its center. In this essay I give my opinion and view of the vampires and what I believe to be interesting with the morals and looks of the vampires as one of the different aspects. 2 Content Introduction 3 The Gothic novel 6 The legend of the vampire 7 Setting 10 Narrator 38 Features of the vampires in Twilight 43 Features of the vampires in Dead Until Dark 53 Vampires as sexual objects 67 Love and sexuality in Twilight 75 Love and sexuality in Dead Until Dark 86 Conclusion 95 Works cited 30 3 Introduction Dead Until Dark and Twilight by top selling authors Charlaine Harris and Stephenie Meyer are both novels written for young adults, somewhere between the ages of 14-24, with one major theme in common, vampires.

However, journalistic coverage of mediA fandom cAn be misinformed and include condescending framing. In order to remedy negatively biAsed framing seen in journalistic reporting on fandom, I wrote my own long form feAture showing the modern stAte of FAndom based on the generation of lAte millenniAl women who engaged in fandom between the eArly age of the Internet and today. This piece is mAinly focused on the modern experiences of women in fandom spaces and how they balAnce a lifelong connection to fandom, professional and personal connections, and ongoing issues they experience within fandom. My study is also contextualized by my studies in the contemporary history of mediA fan culture in the Internet age, beginning in the 1990’s And to the present day.

  • Fragile Bodies in Stephenie Meyer's Twilight Series
    Cultivating Perspectives: Fragile Bodies in Stephenie Meyer’s Twilight Series by Heather Simeney MacLeod A thesis submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in English Department of English and Film Studies University of Alberta © Heather Simeney MacLeod, 2014 ABSTRACT This dissertation project exposes the troubling engagement with classifications of materiality within text and bodies in Stephenie Meyer’s contemporary American vampire narrative, the Twilight Series (2005-2008). It does so by disclosing the troubling readings inherent in genre; revealing problematic representations in the gendered body of the protagonist, Bella Swan; exposing current cultural constructions of the adolescent female; demonstrating the nuclear structure of the family as inextricably connected to an iconic image of the trinity— man, woman, and child; and uncovering a chronicle of the body of the racialized “other.” That is to say, this project analyzes five persistent perspectives of the body—gendered, adolescent, transforming, reproducing, and embodying a “contact zone”—while relying on the methodologies of new feminist materialisms, posthumanism, postfeminism and vampire literary criticism. These conditions are characteristic of the “genre shift” in contemporary American vampire narrative in general, meaning that current vampire fiction tends to shift outside of the boundaries of its own classification, as in the case of Meyer’s material, which is read by a diverse readership outside of its Young Adult categorization. As such, this project closely examines the vampire exposed in Meyer’s remarkably popular text, as well as key texts published in the late twentieth and early twenty-first centuries, such as Joss Whedon’s television series Buffy the Vampire Slayer (1997-2003), Alan Ball’s HBO series True Blood (2009-2014), Kathryn Bigelow’s Near Dark (1987) and Joel Schumacher’s The Lost Boys (1987).

  • Patriarchy Strikes Back: Power and Perception in Buffy the Vampire Slayer
    PATRIARCHY STRIKES BACK: POWER AND PERCEPTION IN BUFFY THE VAMPIRE SLAYER Nadine Farghaly A Thesis Submitted to the Graduate College of Bowling Green State University in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of MASTER OF ARTS August 2009 Committee: Maisha Wester, Advisor Piya Pal Lapinski © 2006 Nadine Farghaly All Rights Reserved iii ABSTRACT Maisha Wester, Advisor Primetime heroine Buffy Summers conquered the hearts of layman and scholars alike. For years audience members have debated about almost everything that happens in Buffy the Vampire Slayer; from opening credits to wardrobes over music choices to gender issues. This thesis focuses on patriarchal power structures inside Buffy the Vampire Slayer. On the surface, BtVS proposes all the ingredients for a truly matriarchal show; it could have been the perfect series to offer a glimpse at what a female-dominated society could look like. Unfortunately, however, the series’ creator, Joss Whedon, fails to create a female character liberated from patriarchal influences. He not only reintroduces patriarchal figures and apparatuses again and again, but he also constrains his heroine to adopt the same power structures his male characters employ. Despite the fact that almost every member of the patriarchy embodies certain flaws, that make it possible to partially dismantle their authority, Whedon continues to introduce these problematic figures. This thesis illustrates how patriarchal institutions and their members assert power over the female body in BtVS by synthesizing examples from both the television series and the graphic novel series with the critical cultural theories of Michel Foucault, Max Weber, and John Bowlby. iv To my Scoobies—you know why… v ACKNOWLEDGMENTS I want to thank all the people who dedicated hours of their life helping me when I was ready to give up and whose presence has enriched my stay in the United States beyond my expectations.

  • From Buffy to Bella: Feminism, Gender Roles, and Role Models In
    FROM BUFFY TO BELLA: FEMINISM, GENDER ROLES, AND ROLE MODELS IN POPULAR CULTURE by SARA ELIZABETH RAY (Under the Direction of Jennifer Smith) ABSTRACT Even the earliest feminist critics expressed concern about the tendency of popular entertainment to reinforce negative gender stereotypes on impressionable young women. This paper examines the role of media in the construction of gender in today’s society through a comparative textual analysis of two similar yet different series targeted to young girls—Buffy the Vampire Slayer and The Twilight Saga. Using feminist theory as a critical framework, this paper identifies a series of shared feminist themes that are prevalent within both narratives, and then analyzes the representation of gender roles inherent within these themes. These representations are further considered within the historical context of the feminist movement to determine whether feminism is currently experiencing a regression or progression in popular culture. This paper is informed by canon feminist literature, as well as recent academic discussion of Buffy and Twilight. INDEX WORDS: Feminism, Postfeminism, Media, Pop Culture, Buffy the Vampire Slayer, The Twilight Saga, Patriarchy, Gender, Sexuality FROM BUFFY TO BELLA: FEMINISM, GENDER ROLES, AND ROLE MODELS IN POPULAR CULTURE by SARA ELIZABETH RAY B.S., Emmanuel College, 2008 A Thesis Submitted to the Graduate Faculty of The University of Georgia in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree MASTER OF ARTS ATHENS, GEORGIA 2012 © 2012 Sara Elizabeth Ray All Rights Reserved FROM BUFFY TO BELLA: FEMINISM, GENDER ROLES, AND ROLE MODELS IN POPULAR CULTURE by SARA RAY Major Professor: Jennifer Smith Committee: Carolina Acosta-Alzuru Horace Newcomb Electronic Version Approved: Maureen Grasso Dean of the Graduate School The University of Georgia May 2012 iv ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS This paper would not have been possible without the help and encouragement of many people along the way.

  • Buffy, Dark Romance and Female Horror Fans Lorna Jowett
    Buffy, Dark Romance and Female Horror Fans Lorna Jowett When asked, in a 2002 SFX magazine reader’s poll, ‘What’s the thing you’re proudest of in this world?’ Joss Whedon, creator of TV show Buffy the Vampire Slayer, answered: ‘Art and feminism; my little show that changed things’. In February 2012 The Guardian newspaper ran an article titled ‘Buffy drives home an important issue for women,’ in which Naomi Alderman suggests that the Buffy season 9 comic series continues to debate significant questions for women (in this case abortion). Whedon always insisted that the series’s premise was an exercise in gender role reversal, and it is now easy to see Buffy as a ‘little show that changed things’ where TV’s representation of female, and male, characters is concerned. Characters like Ripley (debuting in the 1979 film Alien) or Sarah Connor (from The Terminator) may have introduced the female action hero in cinema; Buffy the Vampire Slayer, argues Robert Moore, changed the face of television and Emily Nussbaum observed in the New York Times that ‘The show’s influence can be felt everywhere.’ Specifically Buffy can be positioned as a key influence on the contemporary Dark Romance (sometimes called paranormal romance) publishing and media boom. Just as Buffy draws on previous female action heroes from comic books, movies, fiction, and TV, Dark Romances from Twilight movies to HBO television show True Blood offer variations on Buffy’s complex representation of romance, sexuality and gender. Now that VILF (Vampire I’d Like to Fuck) has entered the lexicon, the Dark Romance (in which a female protagonist falls in love with a dark hero, usually a vampire or werewolf, though sometimes another supernatural male) has truly arrived.

Introduction In 1941, Wonder Woman debuted as the first ever female superhero with staying power.1 When she did, her Amazonian presence and lasso of truth snared the hearts of comic-lovers around the nation--especially young girls and women, who had previously only had male heroes to look up to. Well-known feminist writer Gloria Steinem was a child when Wonder Woman appeared on the comics scene, and she recalls being “rescued” from the “plight” of all-male comics at the age of seven or eight (204). Even today, Steinem looks back on those initial comics and is “amazed by the strength of their feminist message” (204).
