I really don't know why I still bother. Not true. I do know. Vol.1 was a lot of fun with good artwork and a lot of promise. I loved the tone and the humour. With its detailed knowledge of the show and its new combinations of those details, vol. 1 was the right mix of nostalgia and newness for me.Frustratingly, it was all downhill from there. With this volume, I could not bring myself to another hopeful/good will 3star rating. Jordie, please give us more of the good stuff.Two stars, because I enj...

Yet another issue of Buffy where the title character is absent for whole issues at a time, and more pages are devoted to lesbian dating then vampire slaying.

Meh. But at least Faith has made an appearance.

The drawings are a bit cringe for my taste, and make it harder for me to enjoy the story.I miss the original Buffy vibe, with the personality we learned to love from the series.I wish I recognized more of the Willow and Buffy I know and long for. I started reading the comics to get more of them actually after finishing watching the series again. Sadly, I can't say I got what I was looking for. They kept the magic/slaying and the hair colors but that's about it.(and the drawings, really...)I gues...

“you should trust that people are experts in themselves.” speak it giles!!!my girl faith is here and there’s willow/xander feelings!!!!! but i don’t care for the art in this. some characters looked too similar, to the point where i didn’t realize who it was until their name was mentioned, and others just don’t look like the actors, which makes it hard for me to see them as the characters.content/trigger warnings; ableism, physical violence, captivity, blood, kissing,rep; willow (mc) is a lesbian...

I liked this one well enough. It was a bit confusing to see ghost!Ethan with Wesley. And Wesley writing fiction with his Legolas like character??!! Anyway. I don't quite get the activation of Faith and her not even knowing anything about vampires and such. She should have had a watcher from the beginning; sorta like Buffy did back in LA and Kendra with Zabuto, but nope... Thought that was weird. Not sure her "voice" quite fits her either.WHERE THE HECK IS ANGEL IN ALL THIS???

3.5This was a filler volume but I actually had a really good time reading it! One of my fave characters from the original just showed up and I’m intrigued to see where this reboot goes.I’m still not a fan of the art style constantly changing but it wasn’t as distracting as it has been in the past.

And I am done with this series. It is not getting better on any level - story, characters or the art. I am not wasting time on this anymore. I was still hoping but after this one where it is more like teenage soap opera than anybody slaying anything and the main character (BUFFY) is not mostly even in it. No thank you.

Much better than the previous two, still not as great as the first two… but! Finally we get Wesley and Faith, and I loved every second of realizing not much had to change about Wesley to activate his character into this modern storyline! Fun to read, and I’m looking forward to the next!

I thought this was a good continuation of the Buffy reboot. I think it is kind of weird they have all three slayers in the mix at one time. Also I feel bad for Willow. She is trying to get back her life back in order after coming back. Can not wait to read the next installment.

The last thing this book needs is a 3rd slayer and yet here comes Faith and Wesley. Willow comes back and talks to Xander. Kendra has completely lost her personality and slipped into normal teenager mode now that she has a girlfriend. Nothing much happens in the rest of this book. It's just spinning wheels and maybe some setup for the future. It's pretty clear now that Bellaire only had plans for the first year of stories. This book has been struggling for a while now. Ramon Bachs art is fugly.

Yeah, this is dragging on a bit too long. I'm also really not a fan of all the relationship drama/angst.

3.5, rounded down.While the Scooby Gang continues to fracture, new additions to Sunnydale threaten to bring the already shaky status quo as Kendra, Faith, and Wesley show up on the scene. The first issue of this volume is perhaps my favourite of the entire run thus far - and it's told entirely from Wesley's perspective, so I'm as surprised as you are. This is the dour, semi-useless Wesley of old rather than the dark, unpredictable one we came to know and love on Angel, but with the usual Bellair...

I generally don't write reviews for my books, but this was an interesting enough experience. While I didn't particularly enjoy most of this volume, I surprisingly found myself enjoying the conflict at the end as well as a very fascinating reveal of a fan favorite character. Boom! Studio's take on Buffy by Jordie Bellaire leaves a lot to be desired, as so much character development gets skipped or rushed altogether due to the popularity of Buffy as a whole. They assume fans know these characters

I'm just not sure I understand why they decided to start back from high school if the stakes were going to raised so high so early on. The world is already basically as complicated as it ended up in the previous comics. I was looking forward to some simpler times and nostalgia, and that's not what we're getting here. Also, not a huge fan of the art in this one. Their bodies are VERY extreme (tiniest waist in the world, but somehow jacked with huge booties) and the lumpiness reminded me of Rugrat...

this was way better and easier to follow than the previous one

This book was better … more character and furthering of the plot. But it’s still got flaws aplenty. The writer just seems to be in a massive rush most of the time, jumping past events and resolving conflicts between issues. It makes for unsatisfying reading.Also, the likenesses of characters are dreadful, to the point that I couldn’t tell who was supposed to be revealed at the end. I can guess, but I should know. Any impact it might have had is lost when I had to squint and figure out who it mig...

Still not exactly thrilled by this comics. On paper I like all the ideas but I actually still am kinda meh when I read. I feel like for the last couple volumes the tone is a little off too. I miss the funny lines, the sarcasm, the puns. It feels a little dry.

I do think it’s cool how these comic books take the characters we know and love from the series but have them connect and their paths cross with each other in different/new ways. It’s giving me the nostalgia I want when dealing with anything buffy-related, while also showing me something new.

This is more of a 2.5 stars. The weakest one I’ve read so far but I did love the introduction to Faith. Having Wesley as her watcher from the start was a bit weird too and I also got really confused by who was who due to the art work. But I’m invested and will continue!
