Buffy the Last Vampire Slayer by Casey Gilly, Joe Jaro

5.0

I was honestly so scared to read Buffy the Last Vampire Slayer. It's not that I don't enjoy most of Buffy comics in the past but they never wow me and since this one has an older Buffy it honestly scared me that I wasn't going to like it but I had seen some Spuffy content in Instagram, so I decided to give it a chance.

Buffy is in like her 50s and pretty much given up after loosing her friends and feeling like a failure after in her mind, getting other girls killed. I liked the world even though I was so confused about it. Like what happened to the sun and why is it illegal to stake vampires?

I usually just wait for the spuffy content to begin while reading comics but I was so invested that I wouldn't have cared that much if Spike wasn't in the comic at all. I liked that we got Willow and Tara being together and having a child and even just Buffy becoming like a mentor to her. I loved Buffy having a friendship with Anya since that's something I always wanted in the show but we didn't really see them interact without Xander.

I was confused about how some characters who died in the show were alive. I knew this was alternative universe but how was it so different? And what happened to Buffy's other friends and where did Angel disappear to?

I loved this comic and wish we had more volumes. I can't wait to read Buffy the Last Vampire Slayer: The Lost Summer which I think is set four years after this one. Buffy the Last Vampire Slayer gave us Spike and Buffy reunion I was so exited about but it also gave all these other relationships I didn't know that I needed.
