One of my least favorite Buffy comics that I've read. I really love Faith as a character, so I was excited, but I felt deeply confused while readings this. Dialogue and plot didn't flow super smoothly, so it was hard to make sense of what was happening panel to panel. Three stars because there were a couple panels with great art (scene at dinner with her parents was excellent). I wanted to know more about her desire to escape, but the heart was missing from this, so all we got were a jumble of confused moments.

I almost broke my wrist to grab this because I love me some Faith. I really hope they do her character justice this time around. Great read even though I gave up on Booms version of Buffy.

Faith is the best and this work doesn’t show her in the best light but does further the Watchers being

evil

plot, so that’s nice. Also, Faith’s character design was disappointing. I know Eliza Dusku has thinned out over the years, closer to how Sarah Michelle Gellar has looked, but in the “Buffy” years, she was curvier. I would have loved to see Faith be less skinny and petite.

faith having already lost a watcher by her first appearanc is intrisic to her character and dynamic with buffy to rewrite that just for wesley fanservice (why does he have fans. vomit) is completely blasphemous
