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 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 from the show， but still manage to change some of their background to fit this reboot。 I wish there was a lot more character work， but whatever。 I didn't think I'd be interested in reading more of this series。。。until the very end of this volume which is impressive I guess。 Also， Faith Lehane made her very first appearance in this， and I must say， her interactions with Wesley Wyndham-Pryce were so funny。 Jordie， if you're reading this I would like more of that please。 。。。more

The only good thing about this was getting to see Faith

Luly Ceballos ，

And just like that Buffy is totally revamped。 No more comparison and more story。 New characters and interesting plot。 Well done！

Robert ，

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。

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 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 Rugrats somehow？ Still too much relationship drama， which I realize was a lot of the show too， but there was almost no actual action in this volume。 All that said。。。 I still liked this one a little better， and will I keep reading this？ yes， because Buffy。 （view spoiler）[ Also， yay Faith！ Looking forward to more Faith！ （hide spoiler）] 。。。more

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

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 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 Bellaire/Lambert twist so you don't know exactly what's up， including a ghostly appearance by a familiar face。The other three issues go back to Sunnydale as the three Slayers attempt to deal with both Vampire！Xander and the problems that he's been bringing with him。 I have enjoyed this plotline， but I think it's been running for a bit too long now， without really exploring anything about Xander himself。 He's struggling， yes， but it doesn't feel as substantial as it should in terms of development for the poor guy。 Of more interest is the stuff that's hovering around in the background with Anya， but that'll come to the fore in the next volume instead。At least the art seems to have settled down - Ramon Bachs pencils three of the four issues， while Runaways artist Andres Genolet pops over to Boom！ for the Wesley issue。 The book has floundered since losing Dan Mora and David Lopez in quick succession， and while Bachs isn't quite in their league， at least he's consistent。The Biggest Bad feels like it should be a culmination， but it's really just the next step on the road for these characters - it's more of a mid-season finale than a final episode， but I am excited for what's coming next， even if it's still more of a B plot for now。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 Bellaire/Lambert twist so you don't know exactly what's up， including a ghostly appearance by a familiar face。The other three issues go back to Sunnydale as the three Slayers attempt to deal with both Vampire！Xander and the problems that he's been bringing with him。 I have enjoyed this plotline， but I think it's been running for a bit too long now， without really exploring anything about Xander himself。 He's struggling， yes， but it doesn't feel as substantial as it should in terms of development for the poor guy。 Of more interest is the stuff that's hovering around in the background with Anya， but that'll come to the fore in the next volume instead。At least the art seems to have settled down - Ramon Bachs pencils three of the four issues， while Runaways artist Andres Genolet pops over to Boom！ for the Wesley issue。 The book has floundered since losing Dan Mora and David Lopez in quick succession， and while Bachs isn't quite in their league， at least he's consistent。The Biggest Bad feels like it should be a culmination， but it's really just the next step on the road for these characters - it's more of a mid-season finale than a final episode， but I am excited for what's coming next， even if it's still more of a B plot for now。 。。。more
