Buffy season 8 TV and Comic

[Bennyboi]

When reading an issue of season 8, who tries to picture the characters as if they were on the TV screen and voice them when reading to get a more realistic element other than comic? Something about issue 8 for me, is that some elements were too comic like for my liking and found a hard transition in my mind, from comic, to TV.

I do that when I read the comics. I try to get the voices of each character in my head.

Normally I read too fast to do that, but I try to take my time with Buffy and do the voices and stuff. Then I go back through the issue and look closer at the scenery and costumes, since I tend to overlook the background the first time. Most of this issue sounded like it could have come from the show, but a few of Faith's lines I can't picture her saying. I also have a hard time imagining her with an english accent.

The comic doesn't really feel grounded enough for me to imagine it as the TV series.

I too couldn't get Faith down with an English accent, so I just used Eliza's original voice, but I can't find it whenever she yells happily, like "God I love her!" or "Stone Roses!" It always bugs whenever I can't find a characters voice when I'm reading it.

I do my best to get along with actually seeing it and hearing it in my head. The Faith vs Buffy fight scene was really easy to get in my head. Especially what Buffy was saying.
