As with the other ones from this Season, I'm just happy it's a Buffy comic that's not outrageously epic like Season 8! This isn't groundbreaking comic artistry. This is a story that gets to be told even though the actors didn't want to do the show anymore (or for whatever reason why they stopped doing the show).

My complaint with this volume is that I keep getting hints that I should have watched all of Angel or be reading Angel + Faith but I'm doing neither of those things.

What the hell!

Dawnie!!

And also, what the hell?!

Xander?

But I don't believe the final page. Not for one minute.

Cutting the world off from magic might not have been Buffy's finest moment, but I think it did wonders for the series, bringing it back to a girl, her friends and a bunch of vampires. And a sentient red balloon. Happy to see Illyria and a couple of other familiar faces. This seemed a transitional volume, looking forward to what comes next.

I'm a big Illyria fan, so I'm happy to see her again, also Billy is there as well and we find out about the Siphons big plan. Big turn of events with willow back in the picture. But where is Spike?

I'm getting really sick of people hating Buffy for saving the freaking world.

Finally, Buffy comes to terms with destroying the Seed! And it only took 4 volumes to get there. Cause it wasn't enough that Willow is magic-less, or that demons are hunting her down for student loan payments, or that vampires are now zompires, no, she could always just shrug those off, because the consequences never really affected her. But now, oh now! Now it's hitting home. I guess it's good that she's consistent, because I think she was starting to bother everyone by season 6 anyway, not really having to deal with the fallout of her literally world-changing decisions, and that's what the last three volumes felt like, too. "So what, I destroyed the Seed, we just have to deal with the fallout, I'm always the one to make these decisions so don't bother me with how it's affecting you." Honestly, it's annoying. I'm glad that it looks like she might be willing to work toward fixing the world, though.

I feel a instant moment of pain when I see Illyria, so her presence is never welcome, but the beauty of Buffy was not ever in it being easy or painless to follow. This are very much issues building up to the finish of the season, so there's no important revelation to be had here.
