Amazing, and hilarious. It adds a little info on what happened to Xander after Anya died, which ties into one of the smaller/one episode baddies, and defeating them. It delves a little more into the big bad, what might be happening, and what will happen. (I read some spoilers, but haven't read the end of season 8.)

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...more
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

Yeah - I finally caught up with all those Buffy comics I bought years ago and never read. It was so nice of Joss to publish these in 2 volumes. I'm thinking of selling my comics and using the money to buy these bound volumes instead. The storylines here were a little jumpy, but some of the artwork was AMAZING.
SPOILER ALERT:
I don't like the Buffy/Willow outcome, but it wouldn't be Joss without some kind of bodycount (sorry Renee).

I really prefer the artwork done by Georges Jeanty over that of Karl Moline. The faces are so much better, for one thing. I don't know why it was necessary for Buffy to have a homosexual experience, why not make it Xander? Or would male homosexuality be too off-putting. Yes, I'm being snarky, but also serious.
I love this way of continuing the Buffyverse. It's tremendous fun, well done, and has great villains.
It's over already? Thank god I have the next volume. I need a minute to soak in the greatness.
Fun Buffy goodness. I thought the arcs in this volume were pretty engaging.
Even more Epic then the first.
mmm, oversized library edition.
If you are a Buffy fan, this is for you.
always buffy
3.5
I gave this four stars for a few reasons; good reasons being that the dialogue is so very Whedon, and the artwork is amazing. However, I found it difficult to see where Whedon was taking the Buffy characters;I was shocked and not entirely pleased with some of the new turns taken, especially by Buffy. I won't spoil anything for future readers, and it is worth the time if you loved the show. Just beware the bizarre.
Wish I could give the 1/2 star again. This would be 4 1/2 star - the artwork is amazing and the story evolves the characters bringing in the beginnings of how Fray ends up where she is (cryptic for those who do not know Fray).
A must read for any fan of Buffy that wants to know what happens next. This brings back all our favorites from the tv show and is a little freer in what they are able to do since tv budgets don't come into play.
This book was awesome! I love the comic continuation. Anyways I meed the next one to come out!!!!!! A quick read.
Some interesting twists, but not as good as the show. That said, I'll take what I can get!
