Willow's search for magic has led her to some strange worlds with mysterious creatures, fantastical spells, lost love, and new friends (as well as enemies). As her journey speeds toward its end, Willow lands within a rather morbid landscape where the greatest evil she'll have to confront is herself if she's ever to make it home again. * Buffy Season 9 continues with Willow's story!

At times only separation can bring about unity and we must be destroyed to be made whole If anyone deserves to become an immortal, eternal magic fountain it's willow. This issue was very emotional cut right to the point.

Nice finale to a very interesting mini series. The climax of this story was great, I liked the use of Rack. I feel like Willow may have really found some purpose and peace and hope she continues on with the outlook she achieved at the end of this book.

WIllow y Rack se enfrentan en una batalla mágica campal. Rack intenta hacerle entender a Willow su forma de pensar, o de coaccionarla para que siga sus pasos, tal y como sucedió en el pasado, donde Dark Willow surgió. Sin embargo, estando ambos en las entrañas de la magia pura, la propia magia absorbe a Rack, dejándolo sin escapatoria. Willow no puede ayudarlo, a pesar de que el mismo Rack le pide auxilio.

La magia empieza a conversar con Willow, dándole una lección de cómo funcionan las cosas. Willow y Dark Willow son una misma persona. No existe magia negra ni magia blanca, solo magia y propósitos para los cuales esta se usa. Son los propósitos de las personas quienes hacen que la magia los consuma y los transforme por completo en lo que desean hacer. Por esa razón, Willow y Dark Willow son parte de una misma persona, y debe aceptarlo.

La magia en la Tierra no puede ser restaurada, porque la semilla ha muerto. Sin embargo, una nueva fuente mágica puede existir, la propia Willow. Ella es quien puede canalizar la magia que aún existe en el mundo. Y así, a partir de ahora, ella será quien se encargue de darle el toque de magia a todo en el planeta.

This came to an ending that I didn't expect, but that I'm pleased with. It was quite an epic issue, but was pulled off well. I'm satisfied with the direction they ended up taking and think it'll have very interesting consequences for the final arc of the Buffy title. I'm really looking forward to seeing how Season 9 is finished off now. Intriguing.

Overall: A very strong mini-series that really does add something to the over all story. Not amazing art, but it suited the story and was well done.

This is the final issue in this particular series. Willow has a major battle but that's not really the major point of the issue. It's a metaphysical question that Willow is having to deal with, reconciling the tremendous good that is inside her with the evil that is also there.

She has to consider if trying to bring magic back to the entire world is the way to go, or whether to proceed in small steps.

It's a good issue when considered on the metaphysical basis.

Like the rest of this mini series, the cover art is gorgeous and some moments are reminiscient of the Buffy series and the character of Willow I love, but all in all so far removed that I don't really see it as part of the canon. But then, that ended for me with the tv series anyway.
