There is definitely some backstory and references in here that I have missed by not following the main story. I like young Giles and feel like he's largely true to character as I know it. I like the new friend he makes in this issue and am excited to see where this goes.
A little confusing, not your usual Buffy fix. I know our beloved Giles is attracted to black women but has he to be attracted to every black woman he meet? Come on Joss, you know better than this. I hope this is going somewhere in the future since what we learnt about Girl Blue was zero.
I just... It's not often that I truly dislike a graphic novel (A Buffy the Vampire Slayer graphic novel! A graphic novel about GILES, my true love and hero! A graphic novel by Joss Whedon!), but this is one of those times. The art was delightful, and the coloring was phantasmagorical and modern, but the writing. Eish.I don't know if it's just been too long since I've watched an episode of Buffy or read a comic, but Giles did *not* seem like Giles at all. The "teen-speak" floundered on multiple l...
I love the concept of young Giles, I don’t think I’m going to like this comic with his weird sexual aggression. But I’m coming into this very little context after the tv seasons so maybe idk it works??Love the idea of the Mixtape!
2 stars is generous. I find it very hard to believe Joss had a hand in this. The dialogue made no sense half the time and Giles didn’t sound like himself. Roux seemed to have three distinct personalities and I’m a little unclear who exactly Blue is and why I should care. With the few (6‽)issues BTVS has left, I hope we can just forget this random tangent story didn’t happen.
Well, comic book teenage Giles sure is a hottie, but that’s the best thing I have to say about this. The writing fell flat, the romance was rushed, and the plot was only OK.
This one-off side adventure significantly missed the mark. Giles does not sounds like himself, his relationships with the other characters are unbelievable and the dialogue confusing. This was an excellent opportunity but has clearly been rushed out.
Meh. I wish it was a little more... high schooly? If that makes sense. Maybe I don't love Giles as much without the rest of the group. :/
As someone who is really attached to this character and who LOVED the kid!Giles arc in the Buffy comics, I was overjoyed to hear about this miniseries and had very high expectations. I found myself a little disappointed. The characterization felt off and the story was disjointed, not enthralling enough for me to care about it on a month to month basis.
Confusing. Lacking any of “Giles’ voice.” Choppy. Who is Blue?Isn’t Giles supposed to be hiding out to avoid the Internment camps?Then why is he in a school known for weird things happening and never mentions what’s happening to his friends?And Giles falling for a vampire before he knows her story and without knowing if she has a soul? No. I’m so disappointed that this was the last Buffy continuation comic I’ll ever read.
What the what?!?I find myself getting lost in the dialogue at times. The plot is hard to follow initially. I'll read the second episode before I decide if I hate it or not.
obsessed alreadyI have loved the journey of Giles being returned to life as a teenager and this story is excellent so far. Very into the idea of listening to a mixtape to help highlight the story as we read along and I can't wait for the next installment.
This felt really all over the place plotwise...
Hmmmmm, lange und intensiv wurde wiederkehrend über ein Spin Off mit Giles diskutiert. Damals noch in Form einer Fernsehserie, über die jüngere Version von Giles, wie sein Charakter sich zu dem entwickelt hat, was die Fernsehzuschauer in Buffy erleben durften.Nun ja, dass es einmal so kommen mag - in Form einer 4-teiligen-Comic-Mini-Serie - hätte sich damals nur bedingt jemand vorgestellt. Vor allem mit dieser Hintergrundgeschichte: Giles stirbt, wird von der Gang wiederbelebt, aber in einer jün...
Two stars is generous. I've read dozens of Buffy and Firefly comics, and this was the first one that was so badly written I couldn't understand what was happening a lot of the time. The dialogue could be hard to follow and inconsistent per character as well. The soundtrack idea was neat, though I admit I didn't take the time to look up and play the suggested songs, as that would have drastically slowed down my reading speed (there's a new song suggestions as a soundtrack accompaniment every othe...
I enjoyed it, but not as much as I had hoped. I would have enjoyed an exploration of Giles' past.
I can’t really tell if this is as bad as I think it is. The art is good, but the senior Giles experience seems absent, and the young Giles doesn’t seem to reflect what we know of him from his ‘Ripper’ days, and I’m not sure “white savior in an inner-city school” is ever really the kind of story that ever needs to be told. I guess we’ll see how it unfolds moving forward?
I've read comics by Joss Whedon before & really loved them...and expected to love this, too. Look, this is a short book. With pictures. I've started it twice & just can't manage to get through it. I have no idea what's going on, and the story does a poor job of getting you up to speed on why Giles is a teenager, why he's at this school, what he's trying to do, and what's going on with basically anyone else in the story. I just couldn't follow what was going on at all. The whole thing seems reall...
Like Young Giles, but I didn't buy his infatuation with Roux. She was not my favorite character. Interested to see what happens with this series, but not enthralled with it.
