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.

Buffy the Vampire Slayer, Volume 1: Long Way Home

BUFFY THE VAMPIRE SLAYER: LONG WAY HOME BY JOSS WHEDON, ET. AL.: For Buffy fans who felt that when the show ended there was still more to be said about the Buffyverse, writer and creator Joss Whedon thankfully has turned to something else he does just as well as TV: comic books. With the first trade of what is officially being called "Buffy the Vampire Slayer Season Eight" now out, it is clear that there is still much to be told by Whedon about Buffy and her friends.

Little time has past since the town of Sunnydale was turned into a giant crater. While there was originally one Chosen One, there is now a veritable army of "slayerettes" in training to be as good as the real thing. There are also two doppelgangers of Buffy, one in Rome and one literally underground in a different world, each intended to distract any enemies from the real Buffy. But at the same time there's a secret government group - not the Initiative - which feels that the world isn't safe when there's such a powerful slayer on the loose, and with some help from some of Buffy's old enemies, they intend to put an end to her once and for all. There's also a strange symbol that keeps showing up, indicating something much larger and more sinister going on.

Long Way Home features some beautiful artwork, giving life to characters that many fans thought were done with; the trade also has full pages of the alternate covers from the first five issues. It's the introduction to what looks to be a long series in the continuing story of Buffy the Vampire Slayer.

Awesome

But I still wish it were on television. It it sometimes hard to get into the characters in the comics. If you watch an old episode before reading it, though, it comes a little easier. You can actually "hear" the characters in your head instead of just reading it on paper.

Buffy, Okay

I gave Amazon 1 star for the quick devilery, and the comic it self 3 stars. The art made it a little hard to understand who was who in the comic untill introductions were made. And I found the story/dialoge a little confusing, I predict that it will all become clearer with more of a plot buildup. I'll be buying the next collection of season 8 to better understand the story and see if it develops more which I'm sure it will. Overall I found the story to be very short, mainly written to explain what has happened since season 7. Hopefully the next novel won't be so introdutionary (and Faiths in it, so that should make it more interesting).And is it just me or did they off off Anya so that Xander could get a bunch in this season?Poor Anya.
