Okay, so, if you're here, you're obviously a big fan of the television show that ran on The WB and UPN from 1997-2003. Its setting is much greater than that of Sunnydale, and not every main character is featured in this arc: Giles is gone; he's off training with Faith. If you're here thinking that this will fill the void of the long-missed show, you're going to be disappointed. If you're here hoping for even a small continuation of your beloved show and don't have that high of expectations, then you will be pleased.The first arc is not the best, but not the worst either. Spike and Angel are gone; they're fighting their own good fight in hell in their own comic book series, "Angel: After the Fall."Buffy, Xander, and Willow are holding up operations in Scotland, along with Dawn, Andrew, and a MASSIVE amount of Slayers from all over the globe.The main villain of the series isn't discovered until the very end of the arc, but there are two minor villains that you will remember from the series.This continuation of the series is highly recommended, but mainly because it's the only thing left for us Buffy devotees. Pick this up and enjoy it for what it is: more adventures with your favorite Scoobies.
Why Giles and Faith are off in Europe (more of that in book 2), which Slayer Xander is dating now. And price wise you pay about the same.
I LOVED BUFFY and omg I love Glee. Who is soon to be directing an episode of GLEE people.
I love these Paperback collections cuz I can't keep up with the monthly comics, although I do have a few. Speaking of Buffy This season 8 is great, whether you just love Buffy or you like comics you need to check this stuff out.
A lot of the writers from the show, including Joss, are involved and you get to catch up on Willow and kennedy, Dawn, Xander, Giles and Faith, and everyone you loved and hated from the show (A few who are DEAD). So check it out and find out why Dawn is like 5 stories high.
And of course find out all about Buffy, her thousands of counterparts, and the army that is hot on their trail.A MUST READ.
Well, I have to say I wasn't expecting to enjoy this book as much as I did. The story is tragic and has Whedon's magic touch, weaving the camp with the drama flawlessly. Reading these were like watching the series all over again and, as a fan, I really appreciated that. I have a prejudice against graphic novels, but this is a success due to Joss Whedon's snappy writing and Georges Jeanty's beautiful artwork. Could he perhaps be obssessed with the slayer. Sarah Michelle Gellar, Nicholas Brendon and Allyson Hannigan's youthful appearance are forever preserved within the pages of this novel as the action takes place right at the end of the series' final season. I admit it. I had a hard time following the action at first because it was difficult to tell what was real and what was Buffy's fantasies.
"The Long Way Home" is actually a compilation of comic books previously released and the cover art for each appears at the back of the book. There is also a mini story called "The Chain" which explores the Buffy decoy storylines originally introduced in the television series. I do wonder why Joss Whedon hasn't developed another series, another alternative universe apart from Buffy's world. Great story for those who asked themselves what happened after the series ended.
Great art work, and written by Whedon himself, this comic series is a MUST for any buffy fan.
I didn't know what to expect but was really pleased with Whendon's Season Eight of Buffy. This leaves many ideas to sort through and stories to be told. I liked that the story doesn't take place exactly the day after season seven's finale. Most season premiere's don't. Jeantty's art is gorgeous and makes all the human figures recognizable. Can't wait for volume two.
