I spent most of this confused. And irritated. I know something was happening with the dudes in Sunnydale, but even so everything still seemed really abrupt. Also I didn't remember what happened to Buffy or Sunnydale last time. The art still mostly sucks.
3/5Not gonna lie, this was the first volume of the Buffy relaunch that really let me down. The plot seemed very flimsy and did not have a satisfying ending like the rest have. Also, the art was so, so bad. These are supposed to be teenagers and the artist made them look like they’re in their 40’s. Plus it was so sloppy, and the resemblance to the characters was so off, whereas the cover art and gallery at the end? AMAZING.Anyway, yeah, a pretty big let down for a graphic novel I have been antici...
Really disappointed in the turn the series took, mostly that it was impossible to read it without also following the crossover issues which because I was subscribing on comiXology I got random issues of without asking for them but not all of them? That’s a side issue and doesn’t impact the rating here but also what the hell was that all about? Scammy.So anyway this collection ends with issue 12 of Buffy the Vampire Slayer which is not the end of the story that this crossover is telling. No — you...
Fragmented storytelling and bad artworkRead upon the release of each issue.This was... Not good. The story of these four issues simply doesn't add up to a coherent or gripping story, as each issue seems to represent a random fragment of the story and mostly concerns minor characters in bland stories.The big developments regarding major characters - namely the soul-sharing of Willow and Xander and the half-vampire status of Xander - are left unexplored for no reason until the unfinished climax of...
With Buffy and Angel trapped within the Hellmouth, it's up to the rest of the Scooby Gang to protect Sunnydale; but that's easier said than done, when the Scooby Gang's literally Xander and Willow, who aren't even speaking to each other. Enter Cordelia, Anya, and...Kendra?!A world without Buffy is an interesting one to explore; maybe not this early in the series perhaps, but I applaud Jordie Bellaire for trying something different. It's a clever way to get this series to work as tie-ins to Hellm...
What a mess.All the situation is disjointed and confused.The art is the worst problem thing here. You can't differentiate between characters, change how are drawn in the vignettes and you keep wondering who they are until named.If you think like me that Robin was a jerk, here acts worst.Cordelia face change all the time, sometime she even is short that the others. I don't like it. The body of Xander ditto.The Anya character is really confusing - motivations? In waht moment? is she allowed memori...
Another Hellmouth event . . . where nothing happened. Am I missing something? A story with Buffy can be quite boring.This volume does have some exciting things, though. We finally meet Anya and Kendra! And there's a twist in this one that wasn't in the show with Kendra and Robin. That was an interesting new element that I really liked.The ending was a great cliffhanger for setting up volume #4 and I think it sets up for the Willow graphic novel also. I'm curious about what's going to happen with...
Still feeling meh about this title. It could be really good, but it’s just average. I also really hate how they’re rewriting the mythology. This volume focuses on the side characters, but... it’s such a mess. And everything is just so rushed. 3/5 stars.
