The Buffyverse and Beyond

A violent creature is tearing the homeless of LA apart and its up to Angel Investigations to stop the threat. With the help of Kate Lockley it isn’t long before Angel has picked up the creature’s trail. Thompson uses a ‘creature of the week’ formula to ease the reader back into the story after last month’s one shot. The premise of the narrative is not the violent attacks but how each member of the cast reacts to them. This approach allows Thompson to illustrate his understanding of the central characters and the driving forces behind their personalities.

“The further I can get away from James the better,” Norton says of his constant desire to escape himself. “I’ve made an active effort to not play the classic romantic lead throughout my career. Every time I’ve come close to that, I try to make an active choice to take a totally oblique angle somewhere else. I recognise the risk of pigeon-holing and will always make every effort to avoid that.”

One of the interesting things about young Douglas is that on the surface, and perhaps unlike Connie, he hasn’t changed so much from then until now. But, the more we learn, we see that Douglas has actually changed more than he realises.

On the whole, the change of focus for this issue was appreciated and is starting to give back the hope that we might just see the crew back together. It may not be in the next issue, but it’s certainly on the horizon.

I didn’t set out to make an ‘issue’ film, it just started with the character of Holly – and essentially, over a long period of time, she told me what she wanted to be. That’s how I wrote it, just trying to be as empathetic and considerate as possible to the character. The reason it’s not a straight ‘issue’ film is that I think often those films get it wrong. I love the way genre films, which are my favourite, handle issues. I think they take more care and consideration and have a more visceral, emotional feeling to them.

Once upon a time, Malcolm Reynolds ran a crew, all as loyal as can be. Well, they were mostly loyal. Now that crew has been spread throughout the stars, and Mal has taken up a new job in life. It’s perhaps the least likely job ever for this particular character

With Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D.’s series finale coming up, Clark Gregg’s 12-year journey through the Marvel Cinematic Universe is over, at least for now – and what a ride it’s been. From helping kick off the MCU in Iron Man and getting a big-screen death scene in The Avengers to leading the members of S.H.I.E.L.D. for seven seasons on ABC, Gregg’s Phil Coulson has pretty much seen and done it all, and managed to become one of the most popular characters in the MCU along the way.

While it seems unlikely that Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D.’s final episode will actually be the last time that we see Coulson – hey, he’s survived worse – we took the time to chat with Gregg as he reflected on his time in the MCU, and discussed a little bit about what he;s doing next. Here’s what he had to say.
