Well, I have come to the end of my buffy trade paperback journey. For now!
I really enjoyed this volume, although the confusing storyline continues to be something of an issue.
Issue 14 in particular had fantastic art!
I am a little confused by some of the plot surrounding Jenny Calendar’s whole situation, as well as Xander... as well as Robin. But Buffy and Robin are fun, Kendra is a lot of fun to have around, and spending time in Sunnydale is always a joy.

I really like Rosemary Valero-O’Connell’s issue (chapter 13). Her illustration style is so unique! I hope they have her do more issues.

This one was better than the previous one but I am wondering what's going on and where is Angel in all this???

This is basically gonna be my review of the series as a whole, even though it's not done, I don't plan on reading the final book.
This series started off amazing, I loved it and I ordered all the books on the same day. Volumes 1 & 2 were by far the best in the series. 3 and 4 on the other hand were just really confusing. The amount of story jumps that happened were ridiculous, not to mention so much stuff was left unexplained.
Why did the art style keep changing? I loved the art style in the first two books it was gorgeous, but the constant changing of styles in the 3rd and 4th book were just annoying.
I'm just mainly disappointed that the series didn't have a smooth ending because I had such high expectations for it.

Buffy the Vampire Slayer, Vol. 4: Frenemies by Jordie Bellaire and Julian Lopez. The artwork is a step up from the last couple of volumes. I feel like you can recognize the characters again.
We are following Buffy and Kendra as they navigate life in Sunnydale. I love that we get some backstory on Kendra in this volume.
There are some inconsistencies with the writing throughout the volumes and I would like to see some long-term stories or themes throughout the volumes but overall I really enjoyed it.

Mejora en relación con el anterior volumen pero sigue siendo un “quiero y no puedo”. Y esto ya lo dije en su día pero qué pena que un reboot que empezó tan bien se haya desinflado así.
Dicho esto, por lo menos la historia de este volumen tiene bastante más cohesión, algo que se agradece, pero tengo la sensación de que a veces no ocurre nada y otras, ocurren demasiadas cosas de forma acelerada. La trama de Xander es el ejemplo perfecto, además de que me resuena demasiado a una de la serie de televisión pero con diferente personaje. Por otro lado, a mí me está encantando el protagonismo que se le está dando a Kendra y el reinicio que se le ha hecho a Robin. Muy fan.
Y tengo que mencionar el espectacular trabajo de Julián López en el número 14. Qué forma de capturar las expresiones de Sarah Michelle Gellar. Después de Dan Mora, es, sin lugar a dudas, el dibujante que mejor ha calcado a todos los actores de la serie. La pena es que sólo se le haya dado un número. Ojalá un volumen entero para él.
