Book Reviews of Spike: Asylum
Book Review: A good read
Summary: 4 Stars
Like many Spike and Whedon fans, I enjoyed Spike Asylum. The story is fairly meaty, though given it's a series that focuses on one character that's far easier to do than in the new Angel: After the Fall series that Lynch is also writing where there are any number of characters that need page-time.
I liked little touches such as a nod to the Gentlemen from BtVS S4 and some of the references to times past (particularly the eyepatched smartass). I think the thing that made the comic enjoyable is that I there's a sense that Lynch really enjoys writing for this character.
The storyline itself definitely casts Spike as a hero who, however reluctantly embarking on this mission, nonetheless quickly develops a sense of responsibility about the people he encounters and what he feels needs to be done in the demon asylum. It's also nice to get a cameo appearance from Lorne, who Lynch will later pair (to great effect) with Spike in Shadow Puppets. The artwork is also quite good and serves the story well.
