I enjoyed their conversations but the general story was sort of Then again, that is the Buffyverse way of handling things! Jan 30, Sesana rated it it was ok Shelves: comicsfantasy. Well, that was pointless. The story is dull enough that I doubt the writer was interested in it. The character of Eddie Hope actually got a lore more development Spike: The Devil You Know the one shot I read in Angel: The End than he does in the entirety of this miniseries. The art Well, I've resigned myself to these media tie-in comics having a really slight grasp on how to draw actual people, but this was another thing entirely. The artist couldn't seem to decide from one panel to the next how to draw Spike, and Well, that was pointless. The artist couldn't seem to decide from one panel to the next how to draw Spike, and he couldn't have looked like himself in more than a few panels. Jan 24, Bradley rated it it was ok Shelves: fantasygraphic-novelsurban-fantasy. It was all right. Sure, closing a hellmouth with the help of a devil is fun and all, but what can I say? It's all been done before in buffyverse. I really want the characters to look more like themselves, too. I'd read this only if you're a die-hard completionist like me. Aug 03, kory. The dynamic between Spike and Eddie is nice. Apr 24, Jim C rated it it was ok. This collection is your basic buddy cop team up where two people who do not like each other pair up to defeat a common enemy. In this one, Spike teams up with Eddie Hope who had a minor role in previous Angel issues. Their common enemy is someone from Spike's past who is attempting to open a mini hellmouth. There is really nothing new here. The idea of a villain opening a hellmouth has been done before. The team up of Eddie and Spike never really works. They try the witty banter and attempt to outdo each other but it never comes across as delightful entertainment. And that is not even the worst aspect about this collection. That distinction belongs to the artwork. It would be nice if a comic based on a television show character somewhat resembled the actor. In this collection, the Spike character illustration would differ from panel to panel and was a sad replica of the character. This was a quick read and I would only recommend this to die hard fans Spike: The Devil You Know myself. This can be skipped because there is no vital information for Spike's story arc. Spike is introduced to Eddie Hope and they have a wild night trying to save the day. The dialogue was spot on as Spike sounded like Spike and the plot was fun. The art by Chris Cross was great. The book could have used a little help from editorial with more obvious chapter breaks and footnotes. Overall, a really great book! Mar 12, innae rated it liked it Shelves: graphic-novelhc. I got lost a few times during the story, maybe because many of the panels didn't matter? This was an okay story, and the back and forth with Spike and Eddie was all right. I missed seeing some more of my favorites - Illyria had one panel and was gone, Angel was mentioned, but only seen in the flashbacks. Dec 30, Bob rated it it was amazing. Enjoyable story wherein Spike is enticed into a trap by a beautiful woman. Her employer, a rabid vampire, Tansy has struck a deal to open man-sized Hellmouths in various cities and fears that Spike will try to close them. Spike strikes an uneasy partnership with a demon, Eddie Hope, in Spike: The Devil You Know to stop Tansy. I highly recommend this book.

Jun Spike: The Devil You Know, pianogal rated it liked it Shelves: readsgraphicnovel. Not my favorite. Not a bad story, but some of Spike: The Devil You Know didn't ring as Spike. He was a little butch in some of the drawings and his trademark snark was Spike: The Devil You Know. Jan 22, Candiebarr rated it liked it Shelves: the-reading. Spike: The Devil You Know fact, there were a few pages at the back of the book before it was coloured and it looked much cleaner. Like, why did Spike just happen to run into Eddie? Why is she opening it? In all honesty, the only thing worth reading it for are the few coloured pages Spike: The Devil You Know the end that are Spike: The Devil You Know of cool looking. Feb Spike: The Devil You Know, Jonathan Coulombe rated it really liked it Shelves: comics. As usual, Spike makes a great character to put into a story. This one feels really like an episode of Spike: The Devil You Know TV series as it involves adventures during a single night out. The author managed a good mix of adding a little bit of Spike background while keeping it to the present day. The pace was also really strong in this one. Second, Spike is a great character, and As usual, Spike makes a great character to put into a story. Second, Spike is a great character, and Eddie was interesting, but mixing the two of them, while the result was great, was not like having Spike with someone else from the show in terms of possibilities for dialogues and what not. Hence, I feel it could have been even better as a trio if Gunn was in it or another Spike: The Devil You Know. Great read however. Aug 14, Alex rated it it was ok Shelves: graphic-novels. Spike: The Devil You Know by Bill Williams His next move is to take Joss Whedon's other charismatic vampire out for a chaotic adventure in "Spike: Devil You Know," a four-issue miniseries shipping in June. Spike, a one-time slayer of Slayers, former lover of Buffy, and perpetual nuisance to Angel, finds himself racing to prevent new Hellmouths from opening in Los Angeles. But while he may not have the usual crew at his back, that doesn't mean Spike's alone. Williams introduced Hope in his back-up stories in the "Angel" ongoing series. The back-up serial was introduced when "Fables" writer Bill Willingham took over "Angel" and worked Williams into the title's Spike: The Devil You Know direction. Along the way, we talked about the kind of projects we were working on so I guess that was fresh in his mind. When he talked to IDW about writing the 'Angel' series, he mentioned me and he wrote a role for me into the pitch. Once IDW agreed, the two of us talked about what the Eddie stories needed to do and I took the relevant part of the pitch document and went to work. I have four pages a chapter, which works out to about sixteen panels a month to tell a story. It's a challenge and it makes every panel and every line of dialogue that much more important. Williams continued, "For the first few stories, I am free to wander around and have fun with the character, knowing that Eddie is crashing Spike: The Devil You Know Team Angel pretty soon. I managed to mix up a one-shot story with a three-parter and another one-shot story. One of the things I bring from doing digital comics is the feeling for story compression. When you sit down to read the Eddie stories all at once, they really zip along. Our first trade paperback should be in an upcoming Previews catalog and it will ship later in the summer. It is my understanding that the Eddie stories will be in that trade. Eddie's mission overlaps with Spike's for a brief but defining period of time. After that scene wraps up, Spike talks Eddie into helping him stop the Hellmouth from being opened by the bad guys.
