Buffy Season 8

That’s right sports fans, Buffy is back! Season 8 of Buffy the Vampire Slayer is out in comic book form from Dark Horse. Joss Whedon remains at the helm of the Buffyverse as writer. I’ve read the March edition and April is due out in a couple days. While one comic is perhaps not enough to predict where the storyline is going, it is possibly enough to get a flavor for how it will get there. It picks up shortly after the apocalyptic (for Sunnydale anyway) end of the TV Buffy the Vampire Slayer season 7. Sunnydale is a hole in the ground, and slayers are no longer in short supply. What I can say about it so far is that the “look” of the comic is quite good, albeit a bit dark, though it would have to be. Also, the story starts right in the middle of the action, with all of the quips and cultural references of the TV series. So far I love it and maybe in a couple more books I’ll post on where I think the story is going. But for now check it out and enjoy.

    Nope this one is pure comic. Book 4 will be out soon, and I’ve got to tell you things are rolling along. I had to pick up book 2 a bit late and ended up paying a premium because they’re selling out. So best to keep up with it. I’ve been ordering them from http://www.tfaw.com/.

    So far the storyline and the banter has absolutely kept the Buffy feel and humor.
