This is the best Buffy comic I’ve read in a long time (once I got over the multiverse thing I forgot about, that is). It’s so real to the spirit of the show and made me laugh and tear up.

i can’t lie, i’m not positive this deserves 5 stars based off content alone but i felt really touched by this story. i’ve read a lot of the buffy comics, and struggle to feel like most of them don’t really distinguish themselves, but this one absolutely does and provides a beautiful ending that does the series justice (as much as an au like this can)

An interesting imaging of what might could come. The characters were all, pardon the expression, in character. Only the jaded, worn Buffy was not her usual fun self. But she had reasons.

From the age of 8 I have watched and rewatched Buffy, over and over, so I'd say I'm quite a big Buffy fan. However this is the first of my forray into any of the comics.
This series is set in an alternate universe, where humans and vampires seem to be coexisting equally, and we follow a cynical Buffy, now age 50.
Honestly, I can see why fans of the series may dislike this. It really departs from everything we know about the Buffyverse, the scooby gang, and the canon/characters deaths in the series are different

I had fun with this one! I've always wondered what Buffy would be like as an older person and this was a pretty fun take on it. I wish it had one or two more issues so it'd be able to develop and explore some aspects more in depth, but this was a nice arc overall. The art was also great!

While I hate the idea of her marrying Angel at all, them separating so she can raise Tara and Willow's slayer daughter with Spike might make it worth it. Joyce, Giles, and Willow coming to take her home at the end made me cry. Even though it's not canon I hope that's how the story would end for our favorite slayer.

I was honestly so scared to read Buffy the Last Vampire Slayer. It's not that I don't enjoy most of Buffy comics in the past but they never wow me and since this one has an older Buffy it honestly scared me that I wasn't going to like it but I had seen some Spuffy content in Instagram, so I decided to give it a chance.
Buffy is in like her 50s and pretty much given up after loosing her friends and feeling like a failure after in her mind, getting other girls killed. I liked the world even though I was so confused about it. Like what happened to the sun and why is it illegal to stake vampires?
I usually just wait for the spuffy content to begin while reading comics but I was so invested that I wouldn't have cared that much if Spike wasn't in the comic at all. I liked that we got Willow and Tara being together and having a child and even just Buffy becoming like a mentor to her. I loved Buffy having a friendship with Anya since that's something I always wanted in the show but we didn't really see them interact without Xander.
I was confused about how some characters who died in the show were alive. I knew this was alternative universe but how was it so different? And what happened to Buffy's other friends and where did Angel disappear to?
I loved this comic and wish we had more volumes. I can't wait to read Buffy the Last Vampire Slayer: The Lost Summer which I think is set four years after this one. Buffy the Last Vampire Slayer gave us Spike and Buffy reunion I was so exited about but it also gave all these other relationships I didn't know that I needed.
