I read this maybe ten years or more ago, but now the fam has watched the whole series, and we told them season eight picks up right where season seven left off so I will read into it because all of season eight is lying around here and I can’t stand not participating in what they are talking about, so here I go. The first volume was to me surprisingly not great as it was written by Joss and he is clearly one of the best writers of sf on tv and film. This second one is better, done by his buddy a...
So glad I kept going with this series cause I liked vol 2 WAY more than vol 1. I'm not totally sure why. Was it that Faith showed up in a major way and I love her and her badassery and her pain? Was it because there was lots of Willow and Buffy friend time? Am I more used to Buffy in a new format now? Was it because there was a Faith/Buffy fight--cough, sex-- scene? Is it that Brian K Vaughan is just good at writing comics and Joss Whedon is not? Whatever, I am pumped for the next one.
“Hey I like me so kink but if you think I’m going downtown on this chick you chose the wrong chosen one” Ohhh Faith, how I’ve missed you girl.Here in Volumen II Faith steals the show completely. Our evil slayer in on a mission and it’s not just the pleasure of seeing her again, it’s the fact that she also makes you think about redemption, about being lonely, the necessity all of us have to be loved. But, mostly, what her parts show us, is how difficult and tricky is to have power and use it f
This is Buffy the Vampire Slayer. I adored this TV show and I can't count how many times I watched this. So this is season 8. I'm glad the story lives on, but I do have an issue. This whole book would be about 1 episode, but so much happens so quickly and I don't feel the storyline is fleshed out the way it would be for TV. It seems rushed. The dialogue is classic Buffy and it makes me miss the show. So many wonderful characters are back in this volume plus some new characters. Gigi was a real p...
3/5 I didn't like this one as much as the first, I thought it was a bit all over the place. Still good though, the fighting scenes are really well done.Giles in his Beatles yellow submarine jumper made me laugh :P
Fans of the popular Buffy the Vampire Slayer show were crushed when the series was canceled after the seventh season. Joss Whedon, the series' creator and writer of a number of popular comic books, decided that he would move on with the story by presenting an eighth season in a graphic novel format. This is the second volume of the series, which presents what would be considered a second episode.Fans will be thrilled to see that the rebellious slayer Faith comes to the fore in this tale when she...
In a Sentence:No Future for You takes an intriguing look at the character of Faith and her emerging role as an experienced Slayer in a world full of girls who are just coming into their powers. My Thoughts I've loved the character of Faith since she I first met her in Season 3 of Buffy. One of the things that intrigues me so much about Faith is that she serves as a foil to Buffy--an example of what could happen when those with power become intoxicated by it and choose to shirk their responsib...
Buffy gets better and better. I never really bothered reading the comics but now that it's coming to a end (Believe season 12 is the last series there will be) I'm excited to finally catch up! Especially since my wife is almost done watching the entire show and I'm catching episodes here and there and remembering why I enjoyed it. So yeah, here we go, this volume really focuses on Faith. I'm that one odd buffy fan who isn't all in love with her. I find her kind of annoying to be honest. However,...
My favorite so far. It's odd, I always thought I didn't like Faith, but in the comic they explain more of her inner world. Like, remember when she totally ate up the horribly slimey attention from the creepy evil Mayor? And you thought, how could she possibly not gag? Well, she has daddy issues. Which of course, duh. But it clicked a lot better after reading this comic.OH I think I get it. I don't like the *actress* who plays Faith. It always feels to me like she is overacting. So I never really...
I didn't like the art, but Vaughan's story didn't let me down.
I love that the big bad of Season 8 is "Twilight".
Still... meh. It's not blowing me away and I feel like I'm not reading canon. However, I did enjoy this more than the first volume, and the Faith/Giles story line was spot on for everything.
Loved getting more exploration and development of Faith in this volume! She’s such a dynamic character and watching her growth is entertaining yet endearing; I’m rooting for her as much as ever now. Also WILLOW!! Ugh Willow ily❤️
I’m hooked! I wasn’t crazy about the first volume, but this one was amazing! I absolutely LOVED how we got to explore Faith‘s character. I loved the flashbacks to her childhood, how we got to see how she viewed her relationship with the Mayor and Buffy in season 3, and ultimately find out exactly what makes her tick. I loved all of it!Also - is it just me or did they finally manage to make Dawn not a whiney, annoying character, but a three-dimensional woman who makes mistakes and feels guilty ab...
I absolutely loved this addition to the series, and it is probably because Faith was the center of it. Faith was my favorite character for the TV show. She was not good but she was not evil; she rode that line everyday of her life. When she went over the line, she didn't know what she could do to get back, so she embraced it. She is very human to me. Buffy didn't like her because she was her bizzaro-superman, or polar opposites yet the same. Yes, she did some awful things to Buffy but Buffy shou...
"I ain't your beloved Buffy, I'm the go-to girl for dirty deeds done dirt cheap, right?So what do you need me to kill?"Yes, Buffy has a lot of bad shit happen to her, not going to argue that, but no matter what she has her friends, her watcher, she had her mother who loved and supported her. Faith has none of these support systems, she is all alone, hating her bad choices and trying to cope. If Buffy is the sunny "Flash" side of Marvel (recent TV SHOW) then Faith if one of the heroes from Hell's...
Much too short! Great drawing. The pictures are the end are great and the pictures, really portraits, at the beginning of each episode are incredible. It as great to see Faith and Giles and their dark sides. Willow's fantasy woman is hilarious, literally, and so Joss. The rest was just ok.
So I read the first Volume of season 8 last month and didn't really think much of it. I think I didn't really connect with the story as much because I'm so used to watching Buffy on a screen. I have also found that it usually takes me reading more than one Volume of a comic series for me to get into it (I had the same with Saga). So I figured I would give this one a go and see what I thought!- So let's begin: I enjoyed this Volume SO much more than the first. I wouldn't say I'm completely drawn
I don't envy anyone having to follow up Whedon's arc -- not only was it a good story, but you're being compared to Whedon writing Buffy. Its like being asked to sing James Brown at karaoke, only to find out that James Brown was going to be at the party too. Unfortunately, this is sort of what Vaughn tries to do -- a karaoke of Whedon, at times trying so hard to hit the witty-banter dialogue that is Buffy's hallmark that it comes across as more Whedon than Whedon, borderline parody. Still better
Enter Faith. Enter 5 stars.
