I just love the many ways the comics are progressing the characters and furthering the story, and I'm certainly interested in the rest of this season, and the ones to come.

Eh. The first volume of Season 8 was really enjoyable, but unfortunately I thought the rest of the series was wacky, and not in a good way. I prefer Georges Jaunty's pencils over Karl Moline in this volume.

I am kind of torn between 3 or 4 stars for this collection. It's hard to rate things like this, because it's made up of several individual pieces, but even put together they are still only a part of the whole of Season 8. But there are 5 star occurrences here (the high school flashback) and there are some only-just 3 star stories (the initial time travel issue...)After a fairly promising start to Season 8, I think it begins to lose its footing just a little bit here. There are some redeeming poi...

I haven't read the library edition version-I ordered all of the comics separately and read them, but I am sure that this book that compiles the whole season is amazing. As a true Buffy fan, you can't miss what happens after season 7 ends (where the television series stops.) I may not have loved every decision that Joss and the crew made during this very experimental season of Buffy, but I truly was intrigued and captivated by the many twists and turns, and I had to find out what would happen nex...

Continuing Joss Whedon's canonical Season 8 of his cult hit and critically-acclaimed TV series "Buffy the Vampire Slayer", Issues #1-10 (compiled in Buffy the Vampire Slayer: Season 8, Volume 1, to which I gave 4 enthusiastic stars) caught us up on all the happenings since the last we heard of our heroes on TV, and introduced Twilight, the latest "big bad". But I did not find the issues collected here in Volume 2 (#11-20) as compelling or as well-structured as I'd hoped. While I'm sure all the n...

Really enjoyed the second volume of Buffy S8! It kind of went off in different directions before bringing us back to the main plot line, but I guess that's what you get when you switch a tv show into comic form. It hasn't gotten very dark yet, which is nice in some ways, but I am looking forward to seeing what betrayals will ensue and how they will impact our characters (because you can tell they are coming).I love that they are having writers from the show write the scripts, because it really r...

I wonder if Willow will find out that Buffy killed her future dark self. Future arc was really weird. Hope Dawn will turn back into a human. Poor Xander.

I didn't enjoy this one as much overall. I bumped up to 4 stars because I did love the Tokyo vampire story... Mainly due to Dracula! I love what the show did with Dracula and the continuation of his relationship with Xander. I did not like the other arc that had Buffy transported to a future dystopia. I always hate that story anyway, and yeah it was pointless in the end since she obviously got back home. Duh. The Twilight thing still rumbles on in the background, and still no idea what's gong on...

Reread 2021: still greatThis was amazing. The library editions of Buffy are some of my favorite graphic novels. The larger size really brings to life the art and story. The issue break art is always super special. Such talented artists and writers work on this and I love it. It wasn't perfect and I want more of an overall arc but the Wolves at the Gate issues were amazing.

Good. Could be gayer.

2.5 • in a nutshell, season 8 was a clusterfuck. The story went all over the place and the artwork, though mostly gorgeous, could be confusing. At many points I could not tell who was who (Andrew? Riley? Oz?) I get that Whedon & Co were happy to explore storylines and locations they would otherwise be unable to do on the show due to budget restraints but waaaay too much changed in the Buffyverse from the end of S07 to the start of the comics. I am glad all of this was acknowledged in the afterwo...

How good are these comics?!? They even managed to make Dracula into a really cool character and I hated him in the series. Can't wait for my local comicshop to get the third volum of this season!Am I a Buffy fanboy?? Yes I am!

Halfway through, and I am not really enjoying season eight so far. The story has a strong feeling of WTF-ness to it, I am really not sure what is going on and what is the main agenda even, the characters feel all over the place and not really themselves, and the storytelling so far is very poor and disjointed, leaving me lost and dissatisfied more than anything. I also get more and more annoyed with the artwork, all the characters look lifeless and motionless and kind of wrong.That being said, I...

I'm still not entirely sure the world needs more of Buffy the Vampire Slayer, especially as the show probably should have ended with Season 5. That being said, its hard to ignore the level of craft in these comics, with plots and dialogue that truly feel like they could have been used on the TV show. The weakest issues here are probably the crossover with Fray, Whedon's future slayer, which feels like fan service and nothing more.

Buffy forever. The contents of this volume are particularly enticing as Buffy and her new crew of slayers take on Tokyo. Also, it is insane that you can buy this huge, full-color beautifully bound volume of comics for under $30.

I finished everything except the little notes at the end (which i'm savin for tomorrow), so I'm counting this as finishing.. since I did finish all the story in volume 2. I really liked this. I think in some ways I liked volume 1 more, but that might just be because Faith's story was in it, idk! I liked almost all of what happened in this volume and almost all of the art. And again, I thought the voices of the characters were very consistent. below will have some spoilers(view spoiler)[omg buffy...

I miss Buffy dialogue. It's so good to see or hear it again. The characters are true to their voice. I love the art mostly. There really aren't many vampires in this one. A lot happens with the characters here and some of it I like and some things like going to the future - ho hum. Buffy, so it seems is Bi and she has a fling with a slayer. Willow - ok, Buffy - really. Strange. Is there really no human male Buffy could date - really. Makes me sad. Oh well, maybe only a strong slayer could keep u...

I loved Buffy. The comic book continuation does not disappoint. The show translates to comic book pages beautifully - the characters continue to speak in their trademark Buffy language, there are new characters that fit into the Buffyverse seamlessly, Andrew Wells has a bigger role (!!!). One of my favorite things about Buffy - it's inclusion of queer characters and having storylines about things OTHER than their sexuality continues to prevail. The one thing I didn't like about this volume was
