How I read: 📖

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ (Rating System Below)

“Buffy the Vampire Slayer, Vol. 1: High School Is Hell” by Jordie Bellaire is honestly everything I didn’t know I needed in a reboot. As a die-hard Buffy fan, I was a little skeptical at first, but wow, this graphic novel totally nailed it! They brought Buffy, Willow, Xander, and Giles into the modern day without losing any of the original charm. The snark, the humor, and all the kick-ass action are still there, but with a fresh, updated vibe that just works. Plus, the art is gorgeous—it really pulls you into the world of Sunnydale in a whole new way.

What made me love this even more was how well they balanced the nostalgia with something fresh. The characters feel familiar but are dealing with new situations and challenges that keep you hooked. And of course, Buffy is still the queen of witty comebacks while staking vampires left and right. The story is fast-paced, super fun, and throws in some emotional punches too—classic Buffy style.

If you’re a fan of the show or just want a fun supernatural read with humor, heart, and all the vampire slaying goodness, this is a five-star for sure. I’m already impatient for the next volume!

*Star Rating Guide*
⭐ - The writing style didn’t appeal to me. The characters didn’t resonate with me. I pushed myself to the limit to avoid DNF’ing. I wouldn’t suggest this book to anyone I’m acquainted with.
⭐⭐ - The book was passable, but it won’t stick in my mind. Although I didn’t abandon the book, my mind wasn’t fully immersed in the story. I discovered that it was easy for me to stop reading it and not feel compelled to continue promptly. When everything was said and done, I was unsure of my immediate opinion on this book.
⭐⭐⭐ - If someone is actively seeking a book in this general premise, I would suggest this. While it was good, I don’t think I’ll ever pick up this book for a second read. If it were part of a series, I’d probably venture into the next book. Reading it was time well-spent.
⭐⭐⭐⭐ - This book was brilliant. I had the urge to keep reading and turn to the next page. The book stayed on my mind for days after I finished it. I highly recommend this book to everyone.
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ - I was actively engaged in wanting to finish reading this book. My thoughts are consumed by this book after completing it. I want to have a physical copy as a trophy that I can display on my shelf. I felt a strong connection and investment while reading this book, would definitely recommend.
