Not the best ... and I was really distracted by her wearing the same clothes for four days.Individual issue reviews: #1 | #2 | #3 | #4 | #5Total review score: 2.35

A charming story about Willow Roseberg making a personal journal across England away from Buffy, Xander, and the other Scoobies, needing some quality me time. She encounters a coven of witches whom she feels entirely too comfortable with. Of course it’s too good to be true, but there’s a twist to the twist which takes the story and Willow’s personal odyssey to a deeper level. This was one of the most beautiful Buffy the Vampire Slayer graphic novels I’ve ever read. I enjoyed both its simplicity

It's fantastic when a story is allowed to just be told naturally. And this isn't, which is why it stinks.Smug bigotry abounds, up to and including the only male character (besides a token ghost Zander appearance pre-vampire I guess?) being a grumpy old white man who literally says We don't want your kind around here'. And to top it all off, instead of a fight or any resolution, the story's big confrontation ends with milkshakes and presents. Completely unsatisfying, just like every entry in the

I mainly got this because the cover is gorgeous . The artwork is absolutely beautiful and works on its own, but doesn't jive with the rest of the Buffyverse.We follow Willow leaving on her own after what happens in Buffy the Vampire Slayer volume #3 (From Beneath You). She's lost and doesn't know what to do. Then she finds herself in a witch town, then finally finds herself where she belongs.There's not a lot that goes on. There's no action, no magic, no nothing. There's not even a whole lot

This was pointless and extremely boring. I was so excited to see a queer woman writing Willow, but this book was just lacking anything of interest. You can skip it and not miss out on literally anything— why bother? Also, this is NOT Willow’s first miniseries; that’s straight up false advertisement. If you want a better Willow miniseries, go check out Willow: Wonderland from the OG comics continuity. 1.5/5 stars.

This was a likable enough story, but it was rather slight. It's from the ongoing Buffy the Vampire Slayer reboot, where the story is updated to include cell phones and exclude Joss Whedon. I've read the first two new graphic novels, and this miniseries takes off from a defining incident in the first volume, where Xander is turned into a vampire and Willow gives him a piece of her soul. So far, the characters seem to be handled better than the series' live-action heyday. This was focused on Willo...

1/5I was honestly considering giving this a higher rating, like a 2 or 3, but then reconsidered because this miniseries about Willow (one of my favorite Buffy characters, alongside Cordelia and Faith) was unnecessary and disappointing. First off, I have never read the other Buffy comics, although I do plan to soon, and figured this would be a small introduction to it, and boy, do I regret this. Now, I am a big fan of Willow, although I do see Willow as not a lesbian but rather a bisexual, which

the art is swoon-worthyi love the voicei wish the story was longer/had more impact

After reading the new Buffy universe comic I had to check out the Willow-verse too!In a modern reboot of the character, Willow buys a bus ticket to nowhere in particular. Where she ends up… it was almost like she was meant to be there. A town full of queer witches!First of all, an entire town full of nothing but gay witches?? Iconic.This was both a sweet story and one that showcases how powerful Willow is as a witch. It was a great combination of Buffy lore with the modern twist that makes these...

Devastated by the events of recent issues of Buffy The Vampire Slayer, Willow heads out into the world to try and find herself away from the Scooby Gang. But what she finds might not be as magical as what she sought.The first solo Buffy mini-series from Boom! (not counting Hellmouth since that was an event) leaves a lot to be desired, unfortunately. The main problem I had with it was that it just didn't really do anything? There's a major disconnect between what happened in the latest Buffy issu...

A pointless story where almost nothing happens and nothing is explained. Willow discovers a small town of witches. That is the entire story. There's a little bit of unexplained conflict at the end where the witches try and force Willow to stay but it's never explained why and the conflict suddenly ends with a cut to milkshakes. This was awful. It's a real disappointment. I was looking forward to this. An all female creative team. A queer writer writing a queer character. A huge swing and a miss....

Why was this nothingburger of a story granted a five-issue miniseries instead of a three-issue B-plot in the main book? I have no idea. But if this is the most they can give Willow for a solo series, I think this is finally the end of my relationship with this reboot of Buffy comics. These characters deserved better, and the franchise would have been better off if they kept it to one self-contained ongoing book instead of whatever Marvel wannabe shared universe crap they desperately try and fail...

rep: lesbian mcthis needs less xanderanyway idk why ppl complain abt this being boring & pointless when it's literally abt willow learning to become at peace with herself. some journeys don't need action

Nice. Pretty, slightly too predictable.

Jen Bartel art covers are stunning as always! Mariko tells a great story and always bringing the good queer lines, like something like "I loved the lecture series on Cross-stitching and mindfulness". I wish there was a little more substance, but I get this was a start to something...more.

3.5 stars. This story was adorable. Willow, dealing with PTSD issues travels. Rather quickly for my tastes she ends up in a quaint New English Style town that seems to be the home to only women. Turns out that all the women are Witches. But no hilarity ensues (not even some hot consensual witch action) and no men were sacrificed at the bonfire. So, needless to say I have a few notes. There was no reason for this story to be 5 issues.The whole you can't leave you might not come back, don't you lo...

Late review. (Read as single issues.)I mostly enjoyed this; the art is decent to quite good, and the writer seems to "get" Willow for the most part.Problem is? NOTHING REALLY HAPPENS. And while I appreciate slice-of-life comics periodically, this seems almost "Un-Buffy-like", if that makes sense.Of course, it could be my growing dissatisaction with the path this incarnation of the "Buffyverse" is taking bleeding into this....

Something I enjoyed about this volume that other people disliked is that there was a slower pace, it was more atmospheric and less happened. One of my main criticisms of the main series is how much it jumps around and how much it burns through plot. Mariko Tamaki is also someone I always enjoy when I pick up her work. Lesbian witches 4ever.

Giving this five stars for the fact the art is absolutely stunning, I think this is my favourite art style I’ve read in a graphic novel and even though the story could have been more, the art was everything.
