false 271365 2 The definitive comics collection of all things Buffy starts here. This first massive volume begins at the beginning - The Origin, a faithful adaptation of creator Joss Whedon's original screenplay for the film that started it all. The newly-chosen slayer's road to Sunnydale continues in Viva Las Buffy and Slayer, Interrupted. Next, high school, the Scoobies and an English librarian lead the way into Season One continuity. Plus, The Goon creator Eric Powell provides pencils to "All's Fair," featuring Spike and Drusilla at the 1933 World's Fair. 263081 25 7 2007 Buffy the Vampire Slayer Omnibus Vol. 1 total:471|5:115|4:178|3:136|2:37|1:5| 471 1774 678 65 3 2 false false Wed Aug 01 00:00:00 -0700 2007 Wed Aug 08 18:17:08 -0700 2007 Fri Aug 10 17:28:55 -0700 2007 Buffy comics for two reasons: 1) I like the show to an embarrassing degree and 2) I was an assistant editor on the comics (in fact, I'm credited with that in this volume though I don't think I actually worked on any of the issues in this collection -- they all came before ...more...]]> 3 1 false false Tue Jan 01 00:00:00 -0800 2008 Sat Jan 26 18:43:43 -0800 2008 Sat Feb 02 14:35:48 -0800 2008
As I've mentioned before, comics really aren't my genre. If the story is compelling enough, then I'm able to see the appeal. If not, well, this is a decent example.
