Buffy starts to deal with the fallout of destroying the world's magic as she tries to live a normal life. Buffy gets arrested and blames for all these bodies the police have found of former vampires. On par with Season 8 of the series.

it's San Francisco. magic is gone from the world, and Buffy is thinking of giving just being a girl a try (no slayer, no chosen, no one). results so far: mixed, what with the party hangover, her face on the wanted posters, the way too much slayage even yet, and the evil student loan demon. but the new roommates are cool, the coffeehouse gig at least has coffee, and her and Willow are trying to deal where there's blame. Spike is also trying to keep his distance, so she can try some normal life. m...

I accidentally just devoured this. I literally picked it up from the library and the next thing I knew I was picking up volume two. Buffy, I've missed you and you're real world problems. Season Eight was a fantastical blast but we're getting back to the basics now. SO. PHENOMENAL.

Great comics show what the medium can do. They tell stories in ways that incorporate the best parts of film and prose and visual art and transcend all of the above when they get it right.This is not a great comic. The best I can say for it is that it's better than season eight. The writing relies on the art to tell us who is who, and on our previous experience with the characters to fill in the gaps. Unfortunately, this artist's renderings of some characters leave me wondering who they are. New

"Because this is my time! This is the blossoming of Buffy! The... Bluffoming.""I wouldn't bother patenting that phrase..."Come on, this is so Buffy circa season 1. I love it. It has the fun side of first seasons with a just a dash of darkness of season 4. More please.Over and out

Buffy season 9 comes back a lot stronger than the last two volumes of season 8. SO the magic in the world is gone. There's no more. That's not all though. With the Seed crushed and destroyed we're having our favorite Slayer kind of on her own. Willow mad at her for not having magic anymore. Vampires have turned feral and now more like zombies than vampires. We might even have a new warrior on Buffy's side of things by the end here, and the return of Spike. Good: Really enjoyable moments with Buf...

Um no. This is still terrible. You're telling me that after leading a Slayer army, being a general and commander, the best job Buffy can get is in a coffee shop? Even with vampires out in the open, even with magick gone, and vampires falling out of the public's good graces - which, btw, was REALLY STUPID in the first place - Buffy can't even get on with the military or be some sort of vampire-killing consultant? No, just a coffee shop. This is so OOC annoying, badly-written regression - by seaso...

This had some good moments. I did like the party Buffy threw and some lines in there. She has real roommates for now. I guess Buffy still has some youth left in her. Questions: I don’t understand Spike and these Bug aliens and how he got involved? The whole showdown with Buffy and the police was, oh really, this again? They ended the last season in a down and depressed place, but at least they are trying to correct their mistake in this one, but it might take all season to do so. There is a new

Good. I love the old Buffy vibe. I read this one in Spanish, Caída libre is the tittle. And now into season 9, volume 2! (The ending was like whaaaat?, so I need to know what comes next)One of my favorite moments:

4/5 stars.Pretty good!

The Season 9 premiere arc, Freefall, works a lot like the Dracula episode at the beginning of Seaseon 5 on TV: it's fun, but only gives us small hints as to what the focus of the season will be.I hated Season 8. It felt like some evil demon had come into the world and decided to destroy Buffy (the show) and everything it stood for. They got carried away with doing fanciful things that would never happen on the show due to budget concerns, and the plot was absolutely ludicrous. The end of season

Season eight of Buffy got a little too full of themselves (No budget! Let's throw everything in that's too expensive to film!) but still ended with an interesting hook: magic has been destroyed. And that's where we pick up here. Willow has no magic to draw on, vampires are turning feral, and demons are cut off from their home dimensions. (The last one leads to the best scene in the book.) The main drive of the story is watching Buffy try to build a normal life and fail completely. Great cliffhan...

Finally dipping my toes back in to the Buffy comics after being burned by the end of Season Eight. And I didn't hate it! Wooo. (If I'm being honest, the only reason I finally caved is because I heard the thing I really hated has been reversed.)

*Book source ~ LibraryFrom Goodreads:Season 8 ended with a bang that cut the world off from magic—culminating in another set of world-ending problems. Buffy has left her best friend, Willow, powerless, and brought an end to a millennia-long tradition of superpowered girls. By day, Buffy is a twenty-something waitress with no real direction, and even though magic is gone, she’s still a vampire Slayer by night. Bigger problem? Vampires are becoming an epidemic . . . of zompires!First, the artwork…...

Buffy desperately wants a normal life which she thinks she can now have with (view spoiler)[the end of magic (hide spoiler)]. Unfortunately, she fails to think of the consequences and they kind of bite her in the butt. I was surprised at how chill Willow was throughout the story. I was expecting her to be angry and unwilling to speak to Buffy. I did like that she was still there for her friend although it made me feel better when there were a few bitter quips here and there. Xander and Dawn were...

wait... what?

I’m sorry can we just TAKE A MOMENT FOR THE LAST WINDOW? HOW DID PEOPLE WAIT FOR THE NEXT VOLUME WITH THAT KIND OF AN ENDING?Oh. My. Word. Buffy is not ready for that. No one is ready for—WAIT WHO IS THE –I CAN NOT I ABSOLUTELY CAN NOT.Ugh. Grr. Let me bring myself in.We see The First again.The world is without magic and everyone blames Buffy because, well, she kind of made it that way. And now vampires are more animalistic than human looking and acting. And then someone betrayed her? Oh and the...

Review for issue 1: This was amazing. Reminded me so much of what I loved about the t.V. Show Awesome start to a new season. Review for issue 2: just like episode one of this season it reminded me of the tv show. Which is great because I love the tv. Even the "bad" episodes of Buffy I still find a way to love (except episode one of season four. That was just a terrible episode IMO) if you're a Buffy fan you should totally check these out. Where comic season eight went more comic book extreme thi...

Same great writing and wit as season 8. The characters looked less like their tv counterparts in this one than season 8, except for the cover art pieces, those were much more life like. Willow got a snazzy new haircut though and she's handling the world sans magic surprisingly well. Must've been all those lessons in meditating from Giles (Season 8 Spoiler (view spoiler)[C'mon, someone in Buffy STAYING dead?? Let's not start with Giles. (hide spoiler)] ). Lots of returning characters, Xander is v...

"..I'm Buffy. Followed by the words chosen, and one."The Buffster is back, and she is... as normal as ever. The whole Scoobie gang is super normal. Xander and Dawn are giving it the old college try (ew still), Willow is back to being a computer wiz that pays the bills, Andrew went all bad ass and started an organization with the help of the trained slayers, Spike is being a bug leader, and Buffy... works in a coffee shop/bookstore, or something. We are back to the basics where the biggest bad of...
