Buffy the Vampire Slayer Omnibus, Volume 6 by Christopher Golden, Doug Petrie, Daniel Brereton, Andi Watson
4.0
This had some better stories.
City of Despair was a fascinating concept. But it did seem like a bit of a rehash from a recent Angel episode.
The problem with some of these, is if you read them in true chronological order, they spoil the show. For example, the Jonathan story should be read after the Jonathan episode - even though it takes place first (chronologically). This was a good story - written (of course) by Jane Espenson.
Giles-centric stories are always good, so Beyond the Pale was enjoyable.
And who doesn't like Willow and Tara? Punish Me with Kisses, Wannablessedbe, and the very brief Demonology Menagerie were all good and a bit different.
