Of the various MLTV efforts that have recently lapsed, none seems more criminal than snubbing my monthly coverage of the Buffy comic book series. This is easily explained though. The Faith-centric, Brian K. Vaughan-penned arc that wrapped up in December didn’t really do it for me, and when it comes to the Buff, if […]

So I bailed on last month’s Buffy comic review/recap - mostly because I got carried away with other things and partly because issue seven was the first real disappointment of the series (though maybe “underwhelming” might be more fair). Anyways, Faith has donned a fake British accent and gone undercover at the estate of […]

Remember when August was completely without a Buffy post? I don’t know about yours, but my tears were extra salty.

Today’s release of the second installment (episode!) of the new Buffy comic sees the return of even more characters and answers to a few lingering questions. Most exciting of all, Giles is back. He’s off in what looks like some eastern European capital, reflecting on his old way of life, training new slayers and drinking […]

It took almost the whole of the two years since Joss Whedon’s announcement that Buffy the Vampire Slayer would get an eighth season in comic book form* for me to reconcile reading it.
