i found it all so confusing! everything happens too fast and the way it is written and drawn makes it impossible (for most of the time) to tell how much time's passed between one frame or the other. and don't even get me started on the designs of the characters... i mean they don't have to or even shouldn't look like the actors from the show, but come on, i should be able to tell xavier and angel apart. this was such a dissapointment, eh

Interesting anthology of stories that take place during the Season 3 timeframe of the Buffy show, but there are all kinds of quirks/little mistakes throughout - A sign for the mall that says "Sunnyvale" instead of Sunnydale, Willow heading out during a full moon to go see Oz and then Oz stating he was at band practice (well no, not unless you were eating your band mates in your werewolf form!), etc.

Not only did this collection seem unnecessary (just little snippets that would have fallen in between episodes) but the artwork was not very true to the characters as we've seen them portrayed in the show. (Which I think is wrong...I know the show and the comics are two different things but when a show is as iconic as Buffy you should stick with artwork that looks like the actors who portrayed the characters.) For example, I had trouble telling Cordelia and Willow apart half the time which should not happen!

Man, I love Buffy. This is the first one I’ve read that takes place during her high school years and I enjoyed it a lot. It could be a bit disjointed, but that didn’t bother me. Art style changes a bit, as well.

It was an enjoyable read but sometimes I did feel like it was confusing and the quick jokes and humour that we love about Buffy didn't translate well on paper, and often felt like the characters were just randomly saying something out of thin air. Wasn't really a fan of the vampires being big green monsters either.
It kind of felt a little like fan fiction and not offical cannon. Also it states that this takes place in season 3 but it feels more like season 2, as their is mentions of spike and dru being quiet. But the little boy in me who grew up on buffy did find it a fun and quick.
