A review by mayawinshell
Buffy the Vampire Slayer Omnibus, Volume 1 by Christopher Golden, Scott Lobdell, Fabian Nicieza, Paul Lee, Joss Whedon, Dan Brereton

i don’t know how to add a review to my december reread instead of my may first-time read because this app sucks but i wanted to note that this was a fun reread now that i’m watching the show; all the backstory makes sense and i actually know who giles and angel are etc etc. i will say that only ⅓ of the comics actually capture sarah michelle gellar’s likeness (not that they HAVE to but still it’s more fun that way) and many of these writers/artists/storyboarders seem to have major issues drawing a continuous story bc so many panels make huge leaps that don’t make sense and require rereading to be able to understand what’s happening… and that’s NOT even in the rapid-fire action scenes, that’s in just like regular scenes. oy. but the dialogue in this is just delicious— SO nineties (“just cause you’re having a full-on wiggins,” “get out of my FACIAL!”)— and this was fun enough to read twice, for SURE!
