Buffy the Vampire Slayer: The Reckoning by Joss Whedon

2.0

Disappointing.

It appears Joss Whedon came in and tacked on an ending he planned from season 9. This was out of left field and didn't have much to do with where the story really was. Buffy and Spike were in a good space and between the end and this they have separated. Crap.

Everyone came together, Faith, Angel, everyone that's left standing.

The ending for season 11 is the best ending. Personally, for me, I don't consider this part of the Buffy verse and from now I will will stop at the end of Season 11.

Even the artwork changed again for the last issue. It's so weird. There isn't much continuity from last season to this and Willow doesn't get much time in this novel, nor does Xander really. Everything is wonky.

A terrible ending to a good story run. It truly sputtered to it's death here.
