First: This series is involved in a crossover event with the Angel reboot, also published by Boom. Apparently, we all need to read Buffy the Vampire Slayer/Angel: Hellmouth in order to make sense of the storyline, so - unlike me when I went into this - consider yourself prepared.Alrighty, let's get into it.I have been a Buffy fan since it first aired in 1997 (in fact, its my longest relationship to date - don't tell my husband). I was so excited to find out that the series had been rebooted in c...
Liking this new perspective so far. I was worried since a pivotal character had disappeared but boom! nice twist!! Buffy has been lot of insecure of late so it's so good to see Kendra in a more prominent role. This new big bad is really a surprise. Also noticed a return to SMG more accurate likeness and a more coherent art. This is getting pretty.. good. Love it.
Finally!!! A plot! And decent enough illustrations that you can differentiate the characters!I’m hoping that the series will continue on this path and get back to how great the first volume was.
3.29/10-All issues felt useless but the first one.-No consistency with the art style.- Writing inconsistencies = Jenny being referred to as Giles' wife in one issue only to be his girlfriend the next.-Coloring inconsistency = The Master has blond hair in a page and dark hair the next. Overall, disappointing, pointless and careless. I'd like to know where this series is going please.
The longer this series go on, the more off it feels.
This felt nothing like the others. I feel like I missed the conclusion of Hellmouth too, because there's a giant gap there...
After a great start, this series has tanked very quickly. The dialogue which was a strength of the early issues is no longer snappy or quippy, probably because the supporting cast has mostly been removed. Buffy's all mopey and what story there is meanders. David Lopez's art was fugly but at least you could tell who the characters were. The three different artists on these 4 issues had a sameness to their art, none of it very good. At one point, Bellaire relies on Ramon Bachs for a big reveal whi...
I have no idea what is happening. The last issue finished off all of a sudden and this one started elsewhere… The art was so inconsistent throughout the whole thing and that made following this, whatever this is, so much harder. The dialogue was poor and the storyline… well never mind that. I’ll keep reading because I like finishing up my series, but this one left me in a daze and not in a good way. I hope it picks up somehow.
Buffy enters the Ring Of Fire in the aftermath of Hellmouth, which means more problems for everyone, and that's even before the demons turn up.We actually open with a Kendra origin issue, which does more for the character than the original series ever did, as well as setting her up as a great foil for Buffy when the normal timeline resumes in the subsequent issues. The remaining three issues feel a little more disjointed as bad stuff happens in a very freak-of-the-week type manner, but Bellaire'...
This feels like a major step back for this new reimagining of the series. More than ever it shows how when you remove key characters and Buffy-speak, the series becomes interchangeable with every other supernatural teen drama. The artwork and Kendra's backstory is the only saving grace here.
Eeehh, kind of feel like things aren't really going anywhere atm? But #16 was pretty interesting!
