Really torn on this one. Like that Buffy is dealing with things like an unwanted pregnancy, and despite other characters attempting to tell her what to do she still makes the choice that feels right for her, which is to schedule an abortion. Do not like that it's treated like a mistake that SHE made when she was blacked out and COULD NOT GIVE CONSENT. But surprise it doesn't matter anyway because it's just Buffy's mind in Buffybot's body. I mean, is there a worse way to deal with that storyline?On the other hand I picked this up directly after rewatching "Surprise" from season two and it still amazes me how they really do manage to transport little things and ways of speaking that truly make these characters reminiscent of the ones played by the cast on the show. I was especially impressed with the artwork in this volume. It was beautiful and filled with color. I also really liked the moments of Buffy's growth and that they continue to touch on her struggle to be normal as it applies to her at the age she is now. The artwork with Buffy's face surrounded by her insecurities was great.
I would give parts of this story five stars but I'm too pissed off about the
