I was a huge fan of Buffy the Vampire Slayer when it was on television, and I remain a huge fan of Joss Whedon's characters and writing. I had forgotten until recently that Whedon was writing "Season 8" of Buffy in comic book form, and I was happy to discover that the comic books have started to be collected into graphic-novel-esque volumes.

These comics are really only for true fans, and they do succeed at recapturing some of the great stylized dialogue that Whedon is famous for (when I read the dialogue, I effortlessly hear it in the voices of the actors). The plot line is a fairly weak and unnecessary follow-on to the televised seventh season.

Still, I enjoyed revisiting these characters and I've already pre-ordered Volume 5.
