Willow rules! I was able to get the 5 single issues of this storyline but I chose this edition to make a better overall review. WHO IS REALLY WILLOW ROSENBERG? This is an adventure of Willow Rosenberg that it's part of the canonical "Season 9" in comic book format of Buffy, the Vampire Slayer.Willow Rosenberg is easily the most popular character from Buffy, the Vampire Slayer, even more than the very Buffy Summers.Not only because she was a brainy hacker, at the beginning of the TV series,

I thought this was a pretty awesome story. Willow goes to another dimension to bring back magic to her world. She brings the scythe with her. She meets up with her teachers of magic in this world and old enemies as well. This was trippy and I really enjoyed this. It was fantastic. The art was outstanding and Willow is one of my favorite characters and this was totally awesome. Willow is the witch with the most. The Buffy storyline is missing something without her, but she does bring something ba...

Actual rating 3.7 stars. A journey of self-discovery, self-reflection and acceptance! A lot - like a WHOLE lot - happens to Willow throughout the years but I think this is the first time Willow has gone through a lesson that hasn’t first totally and utterly destroyed her? Yes, leaving a witch’s paradise was no fun but she still has the love and commitment of Aluwyn. Plus the offer to return once her mission was complete. I liked the art though unsure if it was meant to be a contrast to Will’s se...

Pretty good. I really liked the art, and didn't mind the cheat at the end.

Set during Season 9 of Buffy, the magic seed that powers all the magic on Earth was destroyed at the end of Season 8. Magic along with magical creatures and even creativity and the arts are all dying without magic. So Willow sets out on a magical mystery tour to find a wellspring of magic she can bring to Earth. Parker and Gage do a bang up job of channeling Willow's voice. I also liked how they brought back some old characters from the show's mythology. Ching's art was reminiscent of Georges Je...

Wow! The covers to this one are gorgeous.Willow is one of my favorites, I love her and I loved what they did with her here. One of the best episodes I've read so far. Very cool.

The Earth has changed. Gone is the magic that used to run through the planet. Willow has entered another dimension with a seemingly impossible mission- to bring magic back to earth. Armed with only Buffy's broken scythe, she must encounter monsters & demons (some old and some new). But the hardest part may be facing the demons that still dwell inside her.---This graphic novel is representative of season nine of Joss Whedon's hit show, Buffy the Vampire Slayer. I will review this novel as a mild

In season 6 of Buffy, Willow delved deep into her magical abilities, becoming addicted to the power and eventually becoming “Dark Willow,” the big bad of the season. Since then, she’s been struggling with the balance of her power -- suppressing her desire, while still aiding Buffy and the Scoobies in the saving of the world business. At least until season 8, when Buffy banished magic from earth. In Wonderland, Willow goes on a solo journey into dangerous, mystical dimensions in an attempt to res...

Not the high point of Buffy Season 9. The art and writing of this mini is a little sub-par - alas, the fate of most comic mini spin-off series - but, as predictable as it all is, this is still pretty enjoyable and slots in nicely to the grander Season 9 plan. It could have bounced off better from Willow's spectacular appearance in Angel & Faith and it could have segued more dramatically back into Buffy, but still it was very nice to get some alone time with Willow, she's been a sorely neglected

Overall, an OK story. Parker & Gage write a pretty good Willow, and there's good attention to continuity. Beyond that it's a pretty standard, if somewhat slow, quest story.

I can't emphasize how much I enjoyed this graphic novel. Like most people, I was a bit let down by season 8 Buffy comics. I have been following season 9 but not as ardently as I followed season 8. I admit that season 9 has been a improvement; but one thing was seriously lacking in both season 8 and 9 -- Willow! Willow is one of my favorite characters, and I was sad when she was pulling away from Buffy. I also have to mention that the cover to this? Gorgeous. So stunning, I find myself staring

The good news about this one shot arc is that it does a pretty decent job establishing some of the Season 9 plot that's moved forward so far with a character that, to a point, feels as if it's ignored a bit.The bad news is that it's almost too inessential to a point, and feels more than a little drawn out. What was a five issue arc really could have been boiled down to two or three with no huge losses.Still, on the other hand, more Willow! So it's not a failure, but it's probably more for fans t...

Considering the effect that Season 8 had on Willow, giving her her own mini-series to explore that was a good idea. The story feels one issue too long however, with the first three issues or so being very stretched out and uninteresting. The latter two however up the ante a bit, furthering Willow's journey and reintroducing a villain I hadn't expected to see again. The respect and utilisation of the Buffy history is rife across these final two issues, and as a result it feels like a worthwhile s...

I got a number of kicks out of this sequence. It was a spiritual journey on many levels with all the bells and whistles, and I can't help but be impressed by the messages. I could tell that a good amount of love went into these, and I share the feeling. Very archetypal. Very cool.

With magic lost Willow takes on a quest to bring magic back to the world. What she will discover is some serious truths not only about herself but about magic itself in the Buffy the Vampire Slayer universe. Facing off against past adversaries and finding lost love is all in a day for my favorite red headed witch though. :)My favorite part is probably Willow going gaga for Aero-cephs and the confrontation after she tries to catch one though there are many beautifully drawn and occasionally gory

If the length of time it took me to finish this book wasn't telling enough, 2 stars should finalize the impression. This book was so far outside the realm of the Buffyverse I had a real struggle staying invested. It's like an illustrated attempt at painting string theory. It may not be outside the mythology, but it was still a bit boring.

Actual rating is 3.5 stars.This takes place during season 9 of the Buffy comics. Magic has been destroyed in our world and Willow begins a journey to bring it back.This is a side companion to the season and it was an enjoyable read. One could claim that the character Willow has grown the most in this series and this collection continues that growth. During her journey she welcomes a companion. The twist to this collection is the companion is someone from the television series. I loved this twist...

It was fine, but I'm not terribly impressed. I just haven't cared that much about this season of Buffy and friends. The whole "magic is gone" thing seems like it will get solved, but I'm just not that interested in it, given the amount of time I have to spend listening to it being such a problem.

Willow's adventure to restore magic to the world is as much introspective as an alternate wonderland exploration, and this book details both well. Willow's voice is pretty well represented, and the story ties into the Buffy mythology well. Characters from the TV show and previous graphic series reappear and are prominent plot points. There are new characters as well, and Willow does actually make significant progress furthering the plot. The art is pretty and serviceable. An enjoyable read.

I can't resist stories told in the Buffy universe, but they're not all full of Joss Whedony goodness. This one just didn't have that zip. There were a few good lines here and there, but this book was pretty much just Willow monologuing/dialoguing through her issues. Meh.
