The only thing I have to say about this collection of Buffy stories is that I wish they would have been on screen. Most of them were very interesting and I think would have been great to see in live action. Hopefully that will be the case for all the future stories.

These are the earliest Buffy comics and it shows. Lots of little stories with little consequence or emotional punch. I did, however, take notice of The White Christmas story that has some eerie similarities to the plot of Season 3Stranger Things. A rather forgettable collection, unfortunately.

The least interesting Buffy volume yet. These represent some of the earliest issues, which had no involvement from anyone on the show. They are really struggling to come up with material. Hopefully, the later volumes will return to the interesting level of the first two volumes.

I love everything Buffy but this Omnibus was practically torture to get through. Most of this volume was illustrated by the same guy (Hector Gomez I believe) and I just hate his art style for Buffy. The characters don't look like themselves and neither do most of locations like the school library and the Bronze. The art style feels way too '80's and therefore very removed from the Buffy vibes.

"High School is hell. Your life is ruled by grades, tests, and scores. You´re constantly being compared to others, with your failures judged and broadcasted.On top of that, your fellow students are putting you in pigeon holes of jock, geek, cheerleader, whatever. And all this will affect the direction of the rest of your life."

This is my least favorite Omnibus so far. These contain the first issues of the original Buffy the Vampire Slayer comic that ran concurrently with season 3 of the show. My understanding is that the writers were presented with certain challenges, so the stories seem independent from what's going on in the show. With that, I can excuse the lack of Angel and Faith, but what I cannot excuse are the flat story lines and confusing artwork. Most of the stories were boring and a few didn't really resolv...

Though still in season 3, this volume didn't hold as much lustrous, punny fun as the previous ones. There were many short stories that gave way to backstory for characters. My favorite had to be the one where Buffy talked to the creature of the black lagoon. She realized that not all monsters are horrible monsters. Quaint, and I liked the different mash-ups.

***Pink Taco Buddy Read with the Shallow Readers! Female Lead this time: Buffy Summers. And Willow and Cordelia***Buffy is always a win for me, even though some of the comics inside this omnibus are less than stellar. Because of this, my review will be short.Joss created an incredible world filled with vampires and demons and witches and regular kids just being assholes, and sprinkled it with stars. The people who helped create these separate comics try, and often times succeed. There are many i...

For all his faults, Joss Whedon has a very distinct way of writing snappy dialogue that is difficult to capture. A lot of attempts here fall short. Of all the contributers, Christopher Golden does the best job at emulating the zany dialogue that holds the franchise together. The bulk of his work is in the second half of the collection, which is a lot better than the first.

It would be disingenuous to deny that the mid-portion of this collection was incredibly hard to get through. The artwork did not mesh well with the plot and the half-assed way they decided to visually represent the characters makes the sequences difficult to follow. Instead of going with a stylized, but consistent design, they went with the more realistic route, but the characters look nothing like their counterparts in the show. Even some of the stories themselves have this half-baked quality t...

I'm going to be upfront and mention that probably any and all Buffy and/or Angel graphic novels are going to be totally biased on my part. I kind of have a borderline unhealthy obsession with Buffy...so yeah. I'll still try to be critical, but they're pretty much all going to be five star ratings from me. ;)As in my "Charmed" graphic novel reviews, I'll be breaking these down by issue. I don't discuss too much of storyline because I like to stay mostly spoiler free. ;) 1.) Wu-Tang Fang Plot: S...

For some reason, this collection of Buffy comics seems less cohesive than the others in the Omnibus collection. It was sometimes difficult to figure out when exactly the comics were meant to be taking place, other than in the range of somewhere in the high school seasons. They also did not include Dawn in this collection, which surprised me. This is still an enjoyable read of Buffy adventures, but it's a bit lacking considering how much better some of the other Buffy comics are.

4.2*, if such rating existed.I may be a die-hard Buffy fan, and the show and fandom being my #1 fore ever and ever but I have to say this this Omnibus, Vol. 3 is completely out of whack. It's not bad at all considering this started as all individual stories but I have a feeling that nothing really follows...I mean, what we got in every episode didn't quite follow one another but there was still a sense of time and pacing? Something... You could advance in time, for lack of better words, whereas

I enjoyed this way more than the last volume. Although some of the stories I had already read in the legacy editions, I didn't actually mind rereading them. Whereas the last two volumes felt like canon, these are more in line with the storyline from the Dark Horse Comic series, acting as fun little filler episodes. The snappy dialogue that's done so well in the series falls a little short here, but the speedy narritive, artwork and storytelling more than make up for it

The stories in this volume are by far my favorite 😍

First 'Story' in the omnibus is epic in length (compared to all other buffy omnibus stories to date) Continues to be fun buffy-fix reading. It's the best of pulp vampire camp w/ excellent enjoyable characters!

"Decapitation with a smile!"The third volume of the Buffy the Vampire Slayer Omnibus features an even dozen stories, all of which are concurrent with Season 3 of the television series:Wu-Tang Fang - The Scoobies dust the "Mickey Rourke of China," a traveling vampire named San Sui who feeds on the blood of vanquished foes. Halloween - The night before Halloween, Willow storms out of the house after an argument with the 'rents, and swiftly falls into the clutches of a group of vamps. Cold Turkey -...

This one feels pretty time-wastey in retrospect. Maybe they were funner to read at the time they were published, when you were jonesing for the next ep and there was no internet. On the other hand, they do feel utterly separate from the show. Eh.

It’s been a while since I had read this one. I am think that the authors of the early BtVS comics really missed a chance to deal with earlier seasons. The focus of the 3rd Omnibus edition is stand alone stories that take place during Season Three. The introduction indicates that the stories were written when Season Three was airing. I think it would have been better had it focused on either Season One or Two as there are a lot of continuity issues. Angel and Faith barely make appearances. Cordel...
