I just couldn't get into this one. It was all over the place, and as much as I love Buffy, there was something missing from this. It didn't feel like Buffy.

There is a sudden two-season jump in there that was very confusing, but the first few stories were great!

Again, graphic novels aren't really my 'thing' but I want to read all of the omnibuses so I can go through and read the new seasons.

Not my favorite of the omnibuses. Really only 2 good stories- Ring of Fire and the Dust Waltz.

Aunque la puntuación es la misma que para el primer tomo, éste me ha gustado algo menos. Mientras que en el primero se seguía un orden cronológico claro, en éste las historias saltan de temporada en temporada. Si has visto la serie, como es mi caso, tienes la ventaja de no perderte, pero descoloca bastante el tener que estarse situando cada vez que comienzas una historia.
Otro "pero" para mí ha sido el dibujo en la mayoría de historias. No me ha convencido nada el dibujo de Ryan Sook, y el de Jeff Matsuda ha sido un rotundo no en este volumen. Un estilo tirando a dibujo animado que, a mi parecer, no encaja con la historia de estos ómnibus. En el lado contrario estaría el dibujo de Brian Horton, que he amado desde la primera viñeta.
En resumen, un volumen flojillo y demasiado ajetreado que, para mí, no ha funcionado tan bien como el primero.
2,5/5⭐

I liked this one but not as much as Vol 1.
I liked most of the art. The only two that I didn't like much were Angels We Have Seen on High, I enjoyed the story just not the art and the last comic The Dust Waltz.
My favorite comics from this one were A Stake to the Heart, The Queen of Hearts, and Ring of Fire.

While I still thoroughly enjoyed the art and stories, I agree with most other reviewers on being confused by how drastically it jumped around in time. While the first volume was a pre-history of Buffy, this volume continues that and then jumps right past season 2 with no warning at all.

These omnibuses are so hard to rate because the art and storytelling quality change so drastically from one story to the next. "A Stake to the Heart" by Fabian Nicieza with art by Cliff Richards did most of the heavy lifting this round, with its affecting premise and horrifying psychological demons, while Hector Gomez's awful 90s-style superhero contortions in his art ruined what could have been another fun apocalypse in "The Dust Waltz". I guess the quality spikes (ha) and valleys make an omnibus much like a season of Buffy. 3.5 stars would have done it, here.
