Buffy the Vampire Slayer, Season 9 Volume 4: Welcome to the Team by Andrew Chambliss, Joss Whedon
5.0
I've been previously critical of the Buffy comics continually going back to the well for reasons that come across more as fanservice than because they actually do anything for the storyline.
Perhaps this is different because it actually does accomplish some stuff storywise that works, or maybe it's because Fred/Illyria was one of my favorite characters from Angel, but I really enjoyed where this one went, including the use of Dawn and the sort of legitimate, Whedonesque danger that everyone's in.
For the first time, Season 9 feels like Buffy again, and that's really great. Working toward the end of this arc should be interesting, since I really have no clue where it will end up.
