A really well-done continuation of the TV series, written by several of the same writers who worked on the show. If you're a Buffy fan, it's well worth your time.

Too many one-off stories and the only over-arcing story is a bit over-the-top for me.

Some bits of this volume were better than others! I liked Oz being back.. the big battle scene was pretty cool... But its all overshadowed by how repulsed I am by Dawn and Xander. NOPE. NOPE NOPE NOPE.

The Harmony Bites issue was quite funny.

This was a hard volume to rate. On the one hand--Jane Espenson! Cute, inventive stand-alone stories! On the other hand, a five-part war story (guns, tanks, lack of magic)--bleah! So, as much as it pains me, gotta split the difference and give it a 3-star for the Buffy universe. Still enough pleasure to be a 5-star in any other universe.

It was exciting to see Harmony's return!

Reading this a chapter, book, issue, episode at a time and writing it up, makes for kind of a different experience. It kind of gives a moment to consider. But I'm not sure it adds all that much. That said this was a pretty good story arc, a pretty good book - but I'm not sure it makes completely sense. Clearly not everything has been revealed just yet. But it was fun and readable though perhaps not with a lot of deep truths. 3.5 of 5.

I've very much enjoyed Buffy season 8, like a lot. I am currently reading the last Volume as we speak, I still find this one weak. Not as weak as Tokyo, god that was troublesome, but weak. There's a whole section that I literally had to flip a few pages ahead just to make sure something going to happen. I have heard Season 9 is shorter and I'm thankful for this. Season 8, just seemed to be dragging on. Well until the jaw-dropping end! That was so good I bought the next volume on the spot. Still love Buffy and thankful for these ad-on's.
