A collection of done in one comics. most of them quite nice. bringing in old tv show characters like Duncan Fillworthe and Harmony.

With this book I realized what this was. It's a tv show episode replacement. It's not quite a comic book, it's not quite a chapter. There's a definite start and end and the through plot keeps on moving. It is hard to have all that good of an episode with Andrew. And Buffy is often too obvious. But this one worked and had pretty good art, especially when we get to the island village.

Not the best so far but still good.You can definitely see some of Joss Whedons writing here and there.

You remember how, when he was young and hungry and battling budgetary constraints and studio execs at every turn, George Lucas made the original Star Wars trilogy?
Then you remember how 20 years later, he had enough money and CGI to have complete control and tell whatever story he wanted and he subsequently made the prequel trilogy?
I can't remember why I brought that up.

The fifth installment of Buffy: Season Eight. Dawn is a porcelain doll. Buffy has a face off with Simone, who rules an island of slayers (??). Harmony has a reality tv show (???). Giles & Faith are visiting a "slayer haven" in like, England or something. Buffy's les-faux experimentations are starting to catch up with her and cause a lil drama and heartbreak. Also, there's a giant spidery thing that Andrew may have invented, and some vamp kitty dolls that are hella dangerous AND cute.
I love the big picture of the S8 storyline, and these volumes have some significant, wonderful and hilarious moments but it also is starting to feel like the slayer underground is all power and no plan. Buffy's not able to harness or control the slayer army, their public relations are in the toilet and only getting worse, and can anyone explain how Harmony has survived to this point, because she's kind of a braindead character and I don't think she can continually luck into being such a Big Bad. I like Buffy as a bisexual, but her character is so overbooked saving the world and trying to wrangle the slayers into line and trying to dodge the bad publicity / terrorist rap sheet, she doesn't have time to work out all of her sexuality issues.

Oy vey. This one was a mess. Seriously? Possessed vampire kitty dolls? I didn't enjoy this one much. The good news is that they're all quick, so there's not much of a time investment. Here's hoping the next one's better.

Oh my, this was silly. All short stories and not a lot of forward momentum for the season eight storyline. I did enjoy the vampy cats - but this was beyond lightweight.
