The art style in this issue was so unique and beautiful! Showing us a new slice of this world was cool too. I'm not surprised Kendra never wanted to leave Jamaica because it was rendered so beautifully here from the jungle behind Kendra's home to the food on her plate, the beaches and even the billboard in the opening panel. Just glorious.Also the complex relationship between her, Vea, and Zabuto was interesting and well developed. Seeing some of Kendra's past also sheds interesting light on who...
Kendra backstory
(Copy and pasted from my review on TheStoryGraph) 4.5 Yes yes yes! Love that good good Kendra backstory, love that the comics are giving her more love than the show. Hopefully that will mean she gets to stay alive.
New art??? Such a good style for Kendra's backstory.
Finally a new artist and a great story🤾🏻♀️
1.5Still not a fan of Buffy without Buffy.
WOOOHOOOO we have a new artist! No more alien people. It's a new arc! No more shitty Hellmouth story. Unfortunately this issue didn't feel like a Buffy universe story. It was super easy to jump in and read; the flow is good. The art is 100% improved, but I feel like this story is lacking that unique Buffy flavor. It has veered too far off course. Hopefully it will connect soon. 2.5 stars.p.s. why am I still reading this sub-par series?
The Best Of: Buffy the Vampire Slayer #131. An issue solely dedicated to Kendra and her backstory, which is something we get so little of in the TV series? Hella yes! Justice and more character development for Kendra. 2. Shout-out to the art by Rosemary Valero-O'Connell and the coloring by Raul Angulo & Eleonora Bruni! Combined, they really bring Kendra's world to life in a way that is vivid and distinctive from Buffy's world.3. Kendra expressing a very relatable mood. "I feel so far from everyt...
So, I like that we got a bit of a Kendra back story, that was only really alluded to in the main story.The art is really nice in this book. Jamaica looks beautiful in it.However, Kendra has an accent. When Bianca Lawson played her she played her with a very distinct accent. This Kendra sounds like any teenager from anywhere, her voice, her uniqueness is totally missing from this story. It's been the same the whole way through when you read Kendra's part, but they should have made more effort whe...
This was an improvement for the most. The new artist means that the questionable art is no longer detracting from the story line, finally!The story was a contrast of the harsh realities of a Slayer (Kendra) waiting to be called, against the light background of Jamaica. For the most this worked, but I feel like it was focused too much around bickering between watcher and slayer, and watcher and aunt, and that's what lost the 5th star for me
So far one of the only things I've been enjoying about this reboot is the chance for Kendra to get some more screen time. Her appearance on the show was so brief and so sad.
Kendra backstory, here you go!
I liked seeing a more in depth look at Kendra's upbringing in Jamaica (further need to rewatch Buffy because for some reason I didn't think she was from Jamaica...) Though I do totally question whether Buffy going into the Hellmouth counts as death therefore activating Kendra. Also, shouldn't Kendra have realized she was activated what with the extra power? She says something about feeling more "on her game" but I think the power would be more than that...
Yay! A new artist, Kendra isn't completely unlikeable, but why do the flashback now?
Love seeing more of Kendra!
