I read all (or most) of these issue-by-issue, but I find that while the page size of a month comic is easy to hold my attention, it leaves me wanting more and I find that even with the Groosablog, etc, it's hard to remember month by month what happened... It's just easier for me to wait and read them all collected together. This is a great setup for what happened after the TV show ended, and I eagerly await volume 4, which is coming in July.

After the final show down in the alley, Spike decides to retire from fighting evil. There’s Illyria the sometimes hell goddess/sometimes Winifred Burkle to think about. But he takes in a few strays, then a few more. And lots of folks think that humans are tasty. Wackiness ensues.
It’s got some great touches.

An enjoyable installment in the continuing saga in the Buffy universe. I do so love Spike and its good to see how he got where he was at the beginning of After the Fall (Angel).

This was ultimately fine but rather disappointing. And I didn't really dig the visual style.

I love Spike - and this graphic novel certainly reaffirms my decision. ;) It fills in the missing pieces between the Series finale and where we pick up in Angel: After the Fall and boy is it spot on.

Reading this at the right time made it a lot better, IMHO. Though it chronologically takes place after First Night and before Angel: After the Fall, I‰ЫЄve been reading these in order of publication / release. It makes the reveal in After the Fall v1 that much more fun and shows how Spike got to be where he‰ЫЄs at as After the Fall begins.

This was ok, mainly a necessary bridge to the next book. More violence and less character than I like, but it does explain how Spike got to be where he is (I'm not giving any more away!)
