I Wish (6-7). The eponymous story is fun mainly because it's all about the characters adjusting to a changed status quo, and Gage does good characters. The first issue drags a bit with its wish fulfillment, but the second issue (coauthored by Brendan) is terrific for its Spike and Xander team-up [7+/10].Return to Sunnday (8-9). This is much more an action-fest, but it's terrific. We get great old continuity, great Andew, fun mysteries, and shocking surprises. [8/10]Harm (10). The problem with th...

I am pleased with the story for the most part. Everyone wanting to write in the special book that will create the new rules and laws of magic is beginning to get old and it's funny at the same time. There was a drunk Leprechaun that was funny. Clem and Harmony make an appearance again. They are cute together actually. I thought there were spells surrounding the book, but Clem was able to write in it anyway. Unicorns are real, that's a good new rule. There are horrible new monsters to fight in th...

4 and a half stars. completely charming. Christos Gage does a fabulous job: nicely paced, spritely written, plenty of quippage, knows and uses every little detail of the whole backstory. collects all the core characters into one house, snapshots the current state of Buffy & Spike, gives everyone plenty to do that furthers the whole story in this season. plus: Harmony, Clem, ghost Anya, D'Hoffryn (all with actual roles to play), a trip to the Sunnydale Hellmouth, a lovely chapter of just Xander a...

Did NOT like the illustrations for the first issue in this bunch (just, once again, the characters hardly looked like themselves at all), but after that one was out of the way it got a lot better. I really like the talks various characters are having with each other, and that the theme of this volume seems to be forgiving each other for mistakes made in the past and recognizing that they've all grown a lot and are not now the same people they were then. Not too sure Andrew's totally learned his

What I adore about Season 10 so far is how strongly it focuses on the characters and their personal journeys. While I love action-packed battles and nefarious monsters, Buffy and the Scooby Gang have always been the soul of the series--in comics and especially the television show.I Wish shows the group grappling with writing the new rules of magic, as well as struggling to survive in San Francisco. While the "realism" of paying rent took me out of the story a bit, I thought it was a vital plot h...

I think this may be my favorite of the 3 comic book seasons so far. It definitely feels closest to the spirit of the show. I like that there's not really a big bad to this season, just an overarching plot thread about dealing with the new rules of magic. Gage is focusing on smaller stories while bringing the funny. Xander and Spike's bromance (they are now roomies) has brought new life to the book. Rebekah Isaacs's art is great.

I'll admit I was initially enthusiastic about the idea of continuing Buffy the Vampire Slayer in comics, especially since Joss Whedon was going to be involved in the project. (And more than just cashing the checks, I assumed).Season eight was good, season nine wandered a bit too much and I was at a bit of a crossroads on whether or not I felt like I wanted or needed to read season ten. But my local library got in the first two collected editions of season ten, so I decided to give it a try.And,

While this season remains more interesting than the last two, this volume isn't all that amazing. So Buffy and the crew are still dealing with trying to live together and also writing the new laws of magic. It's half a comic of moving in with friends and trying to be peaceful while dealing with girl/boy troubles and then the other half is Andrew trying to bring back someone after they died while a new demon rises to try and kill Buffy because...well who isn't trying to kill her. Good: I really d...

5 starsNice to see the Scooby Gang again. Fun to be able to go back to Sunnydale. I'm sorry but I don't like Harmony at all. Hope they will be able to stop the demons. Can't wait to read Love Dares You!!!

Season Ten, Volume Two of Buffy the Vampire Slayer entitled I Wish encompasses issues six through ten of the season, picking up right where the last season left off. Buffy and the Scooby Gang are once again fighting the good fight, fighting the monsters that not only hide under the bed but are also now fully present in everyday life, thanks to the new rules of magic that the Scooby Gang and Buffy have unleashed. It’s not just the new demons and monsters that want to come out and plat though. Som...

Wow, I'm two volumes into season 10 of the Buffy comics and I LOVE IT! I so wish (haha pun on title intended) that the two previous seasons had been done by the writer and artist team behind this season had done the last two. Laugh out loud funny, great grasp on the characters I love, real hard hitting emotional moments (Andrew trying to bring back Tara and Willow stopping him 😿) and intriguing lurking big bad. It's like everything Buffy I love!

YES, continuing to love "Season 10." And unicorns are totally real. <3

this season is just very obviously and heavily invested in the "actual growing up" that (hopefully) happens in your 20s. it's mostly taking place through relationships as everyone tries to sort out that love means wanting the best for the other person and not just wanting them for yourself. it's just very heavy. I mean, the show was always about growing up through the metaphors of monsters and battles, but now we've got xander going around spouting about what his therapist said. there is also a

Certain past issues between characters were finally addressed and my Buffy/Spike shipping heart is anxiously ready to find out if it goes anywhere in the next volume. Also, Andrew is a darling goof butt who means well. Finally, this season is redeeming the Buffy graphic novels for me.

Gave a lot of season 7 vibes, with most of the Scoobies being housed under one roof. Reading this as I continue my way through the original BuffyVerse

While not quite as sterling as the first volume, Series 10 is still going really strong. The opening issue, playing off the trope of the perfect world to surprisingly humorous effect, just highlights the theme of the characters wanting things they can't have, but usually recognizing the ramifications. There's also a fair bit of good action (including several issues of a shambling mound villain that work pretty well), and all of the trademark humor (including a visit from Harmony and Clem that ma...

The "Holy crap!"-revelation towards the end will make a lot of people happy and excited, but as a whole Volume 2 feels mostly like a filler volume with discussions about relationships, whereas the proper action and dealing with the next bad guy will (hopefully) happen in the next issues. Although I believe the pillow fight between Xander and Spike was completely necessary. Absolutely. The bonding though... Now that was disturbing.

#1 New Rules ★★★★☆#2 I Wish ★★★☆☆#3 Love Dares You ★★★★☆#4 Old Demons ★★★★☆#5 In Pieces on the Ground ★★★☆☆#6 Own It ★★★★☆Highkey tired of Andrew, Harmony, and how every dead character gets to come back in some way shape or form, except Tara.

Love it love it love it!

It's sad that the Angel and Faith comics are failing because the Buffy comics swiped their dream team... but it is paying off for Buffy overall. The first story with the bad drawings was hack-ish and derivative with the dream world, been done so many times, even with Buffy! After that it got fun and damn, Andrew, how I love ya. Even the appearance of Harmony wasn't annoying. Hope it continues on this strong.
