Buffy the Vampire Slayer Season Nine, Volume 2: On Your Own by Scott Allie, Andrew Chambliss, Joss Whedon
5.0
I read the comics in this volume shortly after they came out (so 2012ish), but the only detail I remembered from them is the Buffy-bot pregnancy fake out. The issue following her belief that she's pregnant, in which Buffy has to decide what to do, is one of my favorite issues of the Buffy comic. Watching Buffy decide how to handle this challenge and the direction she wants to take her life exposed the root of what I love about the entire franchise—a chosen one doing the chosen thing, but also just trying to be a person.
I also loved Buffy watching her body have a life, while she in the bot-body continued slaying. It underlined Buffy's core conflict between having a "real" life and fulfilling her duty as a Slayer (which is ultimately who she is). Even though the series constantly comes back to that question/conflict, I felt like this was one of the best portrayals of how she feels about it.
