BTVS Season 8 Rocks

Compressed into a bite sized package of comic goodness, BTVS season 8 gives fans a tasty morsel of Buffyness to take the edge off the loss of Joss Whedon's darkly brilliant show. Only Joss could transform an extraordinarily innovative TV show into an equally dynamic comic without missing a lick of action or losing any of the depth of character that made the TV show such a pleasure.

Great -- even for new fans

Since Buffy the Vampire Slayer ended its run in 2003, there have been a lot of rumors about spin-offs and movies, but except for the already-running Angel spin-off, we hadn't gotten anything. Until creator Joss Whedon brought back the slayer for "Season Eight," a new series from Dark Horse comics that is the official, in-continuity continuation of Buffy's tale.

This first volume acts, in essence, as the first "episode" of the season. Approximately a year and a half after the TV show ended, Buffy has taken all the girls whose powers were activated in that final battle and begun to construct a sort of global slayer network. Willow is missing, Dawn has befallen a rather unique misfortune, and Xander is slowly transforming into Nick Fury. Oh - and the government is getting antsy over what they perceive to be a sort of supernatural terrorist network, and as such, they're willing to cut a deal with an old friend of Buffy's.

Although I'm still, slowly getting into the Buffyverse, I didn't feel lost at all reading this book. Whedon has established his characters well even for a new reader. His trademark wit and skill at dialogue are evident, and Georges Jeanty's art is second-to-none. This was way to bring Buffy back, and I've got my fingers crossed for a nice, long run.

A must have for any Buffy fan

I had to read it twice since I am not used to the modern comic narrative but it's an excellent follow up for the series. Nice drawings!

Wonderful!

This comic is amazing in it's portrayal of life for Buffy & co. post sunnydale! I absolutely adore what places the writers and artists are bringing these beloved characters. The Scottish Castle as Buffy's headquarters is epic in itself but the stories are truly grand. The art is remarkable and often beautiful as well.
Perfect-except for the return of W.Meers. I don't love that character.
