When I read that Joss Whedon was collaborating with the Buffy comic people I jumped out of my seat. This is season 8 but in comic format, and boy is it good...I have just started reading "No Future for you" which is the second book collecting the next 5 or so issues. Buffy at war with more than just demons! Dawn has for some reason become a giant! Xander a general type of the slayer army! Willow can...well I havent given much away here and dont want to risk giving any more. Suffice to say that there are more than a few twists here including some old and terrible characters from the Buffyverse. Take it from me once you pick this book up you wont be putting it down until the very last page. Also Angel has a similar thing going on with a Season ... Read More:

I loved this continuation of Angel's story, and that of the old team, but I was gutted when halfway through the already slim volume the story abruptly stopped, to be continued. The rest of the book is taken up with artwork, story outlines and other filler, which some might enjoy but I'd have preferred the story not to be spread so thinly between "volumes".

I think this is deliberate though as it wouldn't do to have a comic tell an important story in the firefly setting just in case a new series or movie is commissioned. While that looks very unlikely now at the time this was first published it was more of a possibility.
That aside this is Ok, the art is nice and the characters are recognisable. The plot is simple and a bit too light but the characters are portrayed well, its like a filler episode of a TV series.

This is a good value package of Buffy comics, all are competantly written at worst and excellent at best. The art is a mixed bag also but it is rarely bad.
All stories here are set before the first TV series, included an adaptation of the Buffy movie making it more in keeping with the TV show. The stories manage not to be too continuity breaking, and then very minor.

Buffy omnibus one was good, but it featured a mixed bag of stories all okay but none were of the standard presented here. The comic expands nicely on the buffy mythos and actually keeps the feel of the series in which they are set. The shorter stories aren't great but they are short and aimple but the larger stories really feel like part of the TV show. The story of Buffy's parents divorce is excellent and is surpassed by Ring of fire a story set within series two when Angel was evil.

Having repeatedly read the Astonishing X-men trades, I can strongly recommend this. Cassaday shows us how good comic book art can be and Whedon demonstrates that he is one of the most talented contemporary writers.
