I love these installments. It always manages to take me back to the early seasons of the show when the relationships were new and everyone was still finding their way. And the artwork in this one was almost spot on - not sure what happened to Angel but it was nice to see him.
But my favorite part of this was how it featured Joyce. Parents are hardly featured in YA shows/books/movies etc but in the Buffyverse, Joyce was a very hands on parent who loved her daughter and just wanted what was best for her. Even after finding out Buffy was the slayer, Joyce stood by her and worked to understand her daughters new role. And that wasn't lost here. Joyce encounters a problem with Buffy and she activates mom mode to do something about it. I absolutely love their relationship.
Plus it was nice to see the original Scoobies all together in the library again.

Foi uma delícia ver mais da Joyce nesse volume, especialmente com a preocupação presente e ela tentando compensar pela falta de envolvimento. Espero que não demore para o próximo sair! Enquanto isso, vou ler as outras temporadas...

An effortless little read, the halcyon days of yore when the most Buffy had to worry about was getting her school clothes dirty and making it to homeroom. I still geeky Willow the best.

Cute kids are dangerous, especially when they're actually cone jawed goblins. Buffy should really be nicer to her mom if she doean't want her adopting a demon.

3.7/5 I actually can't believe I enjoyed this? I typically hate any comics that coincide or revert to the series but this was actually very true to the characters during season 1 Buffy. I also don't normally pick up anything with illustrations that do closely resemble anime but the accuracy of the story made me oblivious to my usual feelings towards the very cartoony depictions. I really liked the idea of Joyce having something else to care for and honestly wish they'd had more liberty to explore that element of the narrative. Overall, this felt very true to those first two seasons and made my heart smile.

I definitely liked this one more than the last. The story was better, and the dialogue was much more believable.
