Buffy: The High School Years - Parental Parasite by Scott Fischer, Yishan Li, Kel McDonald, Jimmy Betancourt, Rod Espinosa, Joss Whedon, Richard Starking, Tony Galvan
3.0
I love these installments. It always manages to take me back to the early seasons of the show when the relationships were new and everyone was still finding their way. And the artwork in this one was almost spot on - not sure what happened to Angel but it was nice to see him.
But my favorite part of this was how it featured Joyce. Parents are hardly featured in YA shows/books/movies etc but in the Buffyverse, Joyce was a very hands on parent who loved her daughter and just wanted what was best for her. Even after finding out Buffy was the slayer, Joyce stood by her and worked to understand her daughters new role. And that wasn't lost here. Joyce encounters a problem with Buffy and she activates mom mode to do something about it. I absolutely love their relationship.
Plus it was nice to see the original Scoobies all together in the library again.
