Reading about Buffy after Buffy’s last episode is something that I would never expect years ago. Reading about Buffy season 8, written or supervised by Whedon himself is kinda dream for my inner nerd. Because that nerd is pretty alive (and proud). As alive as Buffy Anne Summers, profesional slayer, is. Everything ended like this:And now it starts with a complete blast, outstanding humor and a fabulous setting. Too fabulous for a tv show budget I guess, and that’s one of the reasons we have the c...

I read this because I learned that Kiersten White's "Slayer" is set after season 8 of Buffy the Vampire Slayer. I'd started this volume a few years ago, but I stopped. It just doesn't feel like Buffy to me. That's not to say it isn't good. It is. But it's a lot more grandiose with huge settings and (even more) ridiculous plot ideas. They bring back a few too many old characters from the TV show that might have been better off left buried, or, at the very least, brought back more gradually. That

I read this maybe ten years or more ago, but now the fam has watched the whole series, we told them season eight picks up right where season seven left off, Joss Whedon writing, so here we go. I gave it three stars then and say the same thing now. The art work was just ok YA art mania and colors, the writing had glimpses of the old Whedon snark and flash, but was over all forgettable, lacking in focus. The adult Scoobies managing a multiplying team of slayers, okay, we'll see, everyone is readin...

I finally got my hands on some Buffy comics, which totally exposes my nerddom, but I can't hold it in.This collection of the first four comics of the "Season 8" series are shocking and interesting, going places the television show never could while remaining true to the characters and their histories. What's most surprising are the voices here, consistent with each actors' portrayals, and the new mysteries created by the time gap between the episode "Chosen" and the first panel of the comic.I ca...

Okay, it's been a long time since I've watched the TV show. Used to be a big fan of it (YES...I'm a guy and I watched Buffy...she's a hot badass who kills vampires! And it was well written!). This book made me remember how much I liked the show. This is Season 8 of Buffy the Vampire Slayer. Everyone thought that Joss Whedon ended the show because he thought it was time for him to just end it. But the truth is that the fans wanted more, so they got this. And Joss Whedon said one of the reasons he...

As a big Buffy and Joss Whedon fan, I really, really wanted to love this and expected to be giving it five stars, but I was somewhat disappointed. First, the good -- it's a fun and fast-paced read, the art is excellent overall, and it's of course great to see these characters again. Whedon's patented snappy dialog is in full effect, providing several awesome laugh-out-loud moments.Small things that bothered me: Amy and a bizarrely resurrected Warren are not the most interesting villians; likewis...

I thought this was hilarious.For example, here is Dawn as a giant.Ummm, a few friends are back and they don't like Buffy and team up with some evil that we know nothing about besides that they are evil.The last issue was super sad and I will never read that one again.It's Buffy guys, just read it. You know it's enjoyable. Josh Whedon, as usual, will break your heart and mend it with the comical sarcasm that we all know and love. The humor that was in the show is still in the comics. It is worth

A re-read. Still as fun as before. My wife is watching buffy for the first time (I finally got her to watch it) and I felt like actually trying to catch up on the comic world of buffy since it's like 12 fucking seasons long now. So this takes place after a crap load of Slayer's are now with Buffy. Also, Dawn is a giant after having sex. Oh and Willow is still going around being a witchy witch. Xander is now like Nick fury too, but we all knew that would happen. Good: So the good fight is still t...

Worthwhile continuation!!!

I was so excited to get into the Buffy comics having only recently discovered them. I am a massive fan of the television show and couldn't wait to delve into the world of Buffy and the Scoobies again!- So this is the comic series that continues on where the final season of Buffy the Vampire Slayer leaves off. I wasn't sure what to expect but I didn't get into it as much as I had hoped to. - I have no qualms with the delivery of the story - the illustrations, format and typeface were great and I

I loved the buffy the vampire slayer television show it is still one of my favourite tv shows of all time and I didn't really like how it ended and i honestly did want one last season but was never able to get that. This comic picks up after the events of the last episode of season seven, buffy and the newly made slayers are now out in full force trying to fight and survive, All the slayers are now in separate squads run by one of the group. There are multiple buffy's posing as decoys while the

The first Season 8 arc works a little better when you read it as a whole vs. each individual issue. But I still have many issues. I'm very glad with how the did the whole "Immortal" backtrack, I still think that was one of the worst episode of Angel EVER. Some of the drawings of the characters don't even have a passing resemblance to the actors: Andrew, Amy, Ethan, you don't even get who they are sometimes! But here's the biggy! Warren! He can't be! This has nothing to do with the ick factor of

Part 1 of my shameless attempt to get my Reading Tracker back on track.This totally, totally counts as a book.

I am reading this, in anticipation of this:I love Buffy, like love love Buffy, and the end of season 7 was a little hard to swallow while continuing with my "normal" life. Back then I didn't have the money to buy these for myself, but today is a new age and I am ready to get back to season 8 and beyond.Also, this:I enjoyed the first 5 comics of the new and improved (maybe) Buffy the Vampire Slayer. I do appreciate, as a long time fan, that now Joss gets to explore crazy ass routes that would hav...

i loved the tv show, still can´t stop watching it.so i was nervous going into the comic.but i loved it, problem is now i´ve read it i have to get my hands on the next one.

I initially scoffed at the thought of a GN continuation of the television series. I'll admit that I wasn't particularly enthused by graphic novels in general, plus part of me thought this was merely a way to keep the franchise making money. Having read this first one, I was pleasantly surprised (although, since the script is from Whedon himself, I should have had more faith). The story stayed true to the feel of the TV show: Buffy kicking butt while still feeling oddly detached, Xander cracking

Buffy ran for 7 seasons, became a cultural institution, a subject for college courses, and, most importantly, ended on a high note. Not bad for a show on a fledgling network based on a movie that flopped.Then season 8 was released in comic form. Years later, I finally get around to reading the first TPB and......eh, it was just ok. Joss Whedon wrote it, so it should be just as joyously ass kicky, pithy, and feminist as the show. Instead it feels like taking a swig of Diet Coke when you expected

Well. I am pretty much IN LOVE with Buffy since 1997 and the first episode came out!I mean badass, gorgeous and funny female lead. Awesome world-building. Awesome secondary characters. First LGBT lead character (even though they shouldn't have killed Tara... Still mad about this!)So, yeah!!! Buffy will always be a BIG WIN for me!! ALWAYS!This first volume didn't disappoint. I'll get to next real quick!!!

Unengaging graphic sequel - apparently the first 'episodes' in a notional Season 8 - to the TV Series, 'Buffy the Vampire Slayer'. It misses the point - the Buffy series was fantasy, sure, but it was also about the psychological development of, and the tensions within, its Scooby Gang. 'Season 8' (at least based on reading this first volume) is filled with stereotypes and seems a forced attempt to drive the 'girl power' message of the last minutes of the final show of Season 7 to ridiculous leng...

4/5 stars.I've been putting off reading these comics for a while, but after a recent Buffy rewatch, I thought I should give the comics a go!It was great to see the Scooby Gang back together, they've all grown up so much. But they still have the same humour and witty dialogue that I love so much. I was lost a few times but I got the hang of things, I can't wait to pick up the rest!
