I hated this event and honestly it kind of soured me on the whole series.Individual issue reviews: #1 | #2 | #3 | #4 | #5Total review score: 2.1
This was a chaotic event that made me feel bitterness about the fact that I had to buy extra issues to follow the series. I did like the art style much more than Lopez's work for BTVS -- he's undeniably talented, but it's absolutely the wrong tone and look for the series. The text and the art fit much better together here. However, the story is all over the place, and the ending is sudden and neat in a really frustrating way.
This was put together awfully. This is like the worst of a Marvel or DC event. What's in this book is all very generic. It's Buffy and Angel walking through the Hellmouth for 4 issues before the Scooby gang shows up to save the day.Eleonara Carlini's art is good. It's very anime influenced. But in the last issue, once a bunch of characters show up, I couldn't tell them apart. I had no idea what happened in that final battle or who was who.If you want to know how to read this, read Buffy Vol. 3 a...
This was kind of a mess.
2.5Buffy and Angel goes down during Halloween party to Hell. She wants to stop what is happening but without any plan nor research and not even her friends or Watcher knows where is her. Good work, Buffy! Angel is an unknown, but in brief relies in him. Yep.There found demons and alike. She wants to stop Dursilla, but... well. In all, I'm not impressed by this work. Nor the art.
Then go read Willows miniseries
More of a 3.5, but we're in a rounding up mood today.Hellmouth is ambitious, especially at this early juncture for both Buffy and Angel's new Boom! series. It tries to be both intensely personal (for Buffy and Angel), and much more wide-reaching in terms of impact, but it only really manages the first one.The villain(s) of the piece feel a bit flat; without the built-up relationships between them, Drusilla is relegated to ranting, while the Hellmother is a generic monster without much character
This works best when read with the third collected volume of the Boom Buffy comics series. The problem with the two volumes is that they don’t work as stand alone volumes. Also the art is a bit of a mess. At times the characters look a bit generic so it’s hard to tell who is who. I still think that the writers are trying to do too much way too fast with the assumption that the readers are familiar with the Buffyverse. I will continue with the series for now. But I can see why readers are being t...
Meh,If this is the best Buffy 3.0 can do I don't have much hope for it.I don't like the new series all that much!
For those of you who are Superfans of my reviews (all of you), you'll remember that I said if this crossover event didn't absolutely kill, I'd give up on the Buffy and Angel reboots altogether.Well it didn't absolutely kill. But I kinda liked it I guess? I dunno, at least I knew what was going on the whole time. But honestly, the climax just highlighted how much of a mess the series became, just trying to do way too much all at once.The art was a fair spot better, though, so thank you Eleonora C...
A well crafted final issue after four issues that missed the mark and didn't move the story forward, except for establishing an uneasy alliance between Buffy and AngelThe Buffy reboot has fallen far from grace since the first potential-filled arc that felt so fresh. The story of the main series and this spinoff has been torn into messy pieces by going in a hundred directions at once, leaving interesting developments unfinished, introducing new characters left and right and leaving all characters...
