Probably not the first BtVS comic I should have started out with, but I saw it at the library and needed a 90s read, so... Not really a 90s read, this was more about every other Slayer, who came before Buffy and truth be told, I wasn't really that into them. I did love the Spike and Drusilla backstory that was mentioned in the show! Some of the stories were interesting and it was great to see some of the writers contributing. I know it was a collection, but the inconsistent artwork pulled me out as well.

Connecting the dots of slayers and vampires within the Buffyverse from years past was an amazing trip. These comics feature plenty of new characters as well as fill in some gaps for old favorites such as what happened to Spike and Dru in Prague. The last tale, “Carpe Noctem”, even has a couple quotes from Brave New World that relate to the storyline. I loved reading these tales.

As a huge Buffy fan, I probably give this more stars than it deserves. It's a collection of comics/stories about Slayers (first half of the book) and about Vampires (second half). Some are crossovers, or involve characters with whom we are acquainted. Others are surprising or stand alone. They are uneven, since they were written and illustrated by multiple writers and artists. Some of the art is stylized for the time and works very well, such as the one set in the West, or horseback. Others felt out of sync, and I wondered where these artists came from.

Enjoyed all the Tales of the Slayers section. Some of the vampire stores were out there and odd but most were good too. Dracula's story was odd cuz it takes place after/during the comics right? I know they go see him for help and his hair is fine like before. Still Love Buffyverse!
