This was a great installment. There are parts of this I would like to have seen on the show. I love the bits with Xander and Dracula. I love how they brought him in and the part he got to play. That was brilliant. I loved everything about that. I have missed that snappy dialogue. There is still little out there like it. I enjoyed the Tokyo story and Dawn's appearance. It was like she was put in the story just so they could do this. I still say, Willow is too powerful a witch for one witch to be

I think I just don't get comic books. This is totally different to the TV series, I don't know why I was expecting it not to be.I don't understand why Buffy is all of a sudden a Lesbian, or a Bisexual, or whatever. As if she needs to hump the nearest thing that moves. And the way Willow wanted to know what she was like in bed... Talk about nothing like I remember any of them being. I wish I hadn't tried these. My memory of the TV series had been ruined by this utter garbage. Pictures and speech,...

This was so over the top that I couldn't help but love it. I mean, you got to know what you're getting in to with Buffy. SO what's this one about? Well first issue deals with the Slayer trying to sort her own shit out. Then we get into multiple storylines, one including Xander making serious moves with the girl he likes. You then have Dracula make his grand return and he is really pissed off that someone stole his power. You got Buffy sleeping with one of her Slayers and trying to figure herself...

5/5 stars.This one was the best I've read so far! So many things happened and it was so exciting! Having Dracula in this one was so good, he's so hilarious. I love how him and Xander interact. Onto vol 4!

YESS!! Dracula is back! I love his bromance with Xander! This was by far my favorite volume yet because of Xander and Dracula being so darn adorable.

Mecha Dawn = five stars. 'Nuff said. In all seriousness, this volume is amazing! think Buffy is one of the only series (across formats) that can introduce a new character and then kill them off (too) quickly and still manage to turn me into a blubbering mess when they die. This was true with the TV show, its spin-off, and now the comic books. I also want to point out (not a spoiler since he's on the cover) how excited I was that Dracula is back! He was only in one episode on the TV show, and thi...

Best "Buffy" comic I've read. Great plot, decent illustrations, solid character development and introduction of some new ones. Read this in under an hour. This is so worth the read.

This was a volume that screamed Joss. The humor, the heartache, and the re-use of an idea from the TV series that has always irked me. Such is life!***SPOILERS!!!! They seem unavoidable this time around. Spoilers for the TV series, for the comics, and for Dracula fans everywhere***Okay. I'm going to start with my least favorite part like always. And actually this time, it's the only part I dislike. But it was too big for me. And thus, a whole star is gone. Let me ask you a few questions:1. Didn'...

One of my favorites so far. Extremely funny, but also sad.

I feel like the start of this volume brings Buffy very out of character.She sleeps with a girl? Even though she continually states that she isn't a lesbian and is just lonely? I'm not sure I really buy it though. But then again, her type is vampire if we are looking at her past, so really this is a big step up from sleeping with the living-dead. At least she still has her soul, right? note: I just don't think it fits her character. I wouldn't be able to care less if she was gay. I just don't thi...

This was quite fun, but not as fun as the last volume with Faith. Also, I have three bones to pick with the whole Buffy experiments and sleeps with a woman: 1) why does she sleep with some random slayer Satsu who we hardly know? I mean, it would have been better if I had had any emotional investment in this Satsu lady; 2) IF BUFFY WAS GOING TO SLEEP WITH A WOMAN WHY THE HELL WASN'T IT FAITH WITH WHOM SHE HAS SIZZLING CHEMISTRY?!? 3) every discussion of this plotpoint is just steeped in monosexis...

It took three volumes, but I’m finally as excited about the Season 8 comics as I am about the television series that spawned them.This book begins with the one-off comic “A Beautiful Sunset,” which is largely exposition. It’s a short exploration of Buffy’s anxiety and isolation as the leader and figurehead of the new slayer army, but it also continues two important plot threads: an explanation of where the slayers get their wealth and material resources (and the first rumblings of the consequenc...

A quick and fun read to start the month!I know I will definitely be continuing on with Season 8 of BTVS as this one a good laugh. One of my favourites bad guys from the TV show (Dracula) made an appearance in this and it was brilliantly done! I feel like the humour (especially with Buffy) really came through in this one, it honestly felt like dipping back into the old TV show!One thing that had me a little confused was Buffy's sudden attraction to another slayer named Satsu and the ensuing sex-s...

2.5--Definitely the weakest volume so far. I appreciate seeing Buffy traveling outside of Sunnydale (or California in general). Another example of the freedom the comic-medium provides to the narrative. I also loved the relationship between Xander and Dracula, as well as the scene between Dracula and one of the (entirely forgettable) monster-of-the-week villains where he whoops ass as Vlad the Impaler. On the other hand, as mentioned above, the villains were hokey. I found the showdown in the st...

Finally catching up to "Buffy, Season Eight." They had a ball in this one doing stuff the TV show's special effects budget wouldn't have allowed, like Giant Dawn vs. Mecha-Dawn. That was the funniest part of the battle in Tokyo against a gang of shapechanging Japanese vampires. Also, the banter between Xander and Dracula was cute.Otherwise, this is what I would have called an "average" episode if it were airing on TV: good but not outstanding, though it did move the plot arc forward a bit. Overa...

I guess this is my favorite volume so far. A great plot going on, fantastic humor and a good action (even if I prefer Old Buffy’s ways better than this new Avengers super production thingy). The most remarkable thing, and the way this season seems to be oriented, is that Buffy even if more badass than ever, she is also more alone than she’s ever been. It’s a recurring theme in this series since power seems to go hand by hand with loneliness and death. Super sad but a great continuation of what h...

The humor is back, hurray! This felt more like part of the Buffy TV series in tone: humor on the surface, but depth in the story. The scenes in Buffy's bedroom, between Zander with Drac, and with Dawnie/Godzilla Dawn, are all terrific! Action, heart and humor, the Buffy formula. The drawings between the chapters and at the end are not quite as spectacular as in the previous volume, but still quite enjoyable. I'm really appreciating the art in these books. Another good, (super)fast read for Buffy...

Yeah, like I'm sure that if there had really been a season 8 it would have involved a giant robot version of Dawn.

LOVE LOVE LOVE these graphic novels! The art is gorgeous and the stories are great. Almost like watching the TV show again...

SO much to enjoy in this one! This genuinely feels like such a natural (and more queer) continuation of Buffy’s adventures and I’m here for every vamp-slaying minute of it.
