Summary: The best Buffy book I have ever read....
Review: I can truly say, without exaggeration that this is by far, the best Buffy the Vampire Slayer book I have ever read. Chris Boal's writing is pure genius. He seems to have a special insight into Joss Wheadon's unique vision of the character. It remains true to the original, yet at the same time it keeps it new and interesting. I don't want to give away the surprise ending in Heart of A Slayer, but wow, I sure didn't see that coming. Buffy fans, and everyone else should buy this book. It is just great.

Summary: Autumnal Leaves the Rest Behind
Review: I happened to be watching several syndicated episodes of the television show while reading Autumnal and couldn't help but miss the earlier episodes of BTVS. I miss the humor, the genuine emotions and the mystery of those earlier episodes. Autumnal harkens back to those days.I found Autumnal a great read and really enjoyed the fact that there is still some mystery in the Buffy universe. A slayer that should be dead and a new, deadly demon, injects some mystery and wonder back into the Buffy universe. And I though the story about the disgruntled wannabe vampire was great! Finally a return to some frivolty, some immaturity and FUN. If you want to recapture the spirit of earlier seasons when water bills and addiction weren't the "big bad", read this book.

Summary: I want more like this!
Review: I never write reviews on anything, but after reading the reviews that Chris Boal got, I had to say something. I am a HUGE fan of Buffy and I have to say that some of the writing was getting borring and silly until he came along. I am looking forward to more of Mr. Boal's writing and as a die hard Buffy fan - I hope you will listen to MY review. Thanks.

Summary: The worst of the Buffy trades
Review: Some people would say the worst trade so far is Angel : Hollower, but I disagree. This trade contains three issues that aren't very good on their own, let alone in a collected form. The first story comprises the first two sections and is about someone who sacrifices her life for Buffy, the artwork isn't great and you really could care less about the action. If this demon is supposed to kill Buffy and this other girl is supposed to save her from this terrible fate I'd think more time would be spent making the reader really feel like there's a menace after Buffy. Then in the third section we have maggots running wild in Buffy's bag, as well as rats and bats and the like. Buffy ticked some girl off by killing the vamp that was about to turn her and it turns out (no pun intended) that she wanted to be turned because of the whole immortality side to being a vamp. (yawn, haven't we heard this one before?) In the end for some reason Buffy wakes up in her dorm. Was it all a dream? Who cares? I'm returning this trade a.s.a.p. -- it is a total dissapointment considering I pre-ordered it forever in advance only to despise it. The back of the trade touts it as this "gross out" and I heartily agree, it lacks any sort of substance to justify the maggots (well, the way they're drawn they look like dry macoroni) or the rats or the gore. I really want to warn everyone away from buying this without flipping through it at your local store, I wish I hadn't blindly bought it. It is sad to see such great characters written so flatly and poorly. I think we can start dividing Buffy fans into two categories: Those that like 6th season, and those that don't. If you like 6th season, then you might like this. But if you're like me and think 6th season of Buffy the Vampire Slayer is terrible, don't buy this book.

Summary: A great read.
Review: The art may be a bit sub-par, but the writing is so far above the usual paplum that is spewed out in these books as to make this one of the best ever!!
A real sense of character and adventure infuse this book. Plus a way cool plot taking the BTVS plot to a place we haven't been to before. Lots of fun.

Summary: Buffy for Adults
Review: Wow - a 'Buffy' for adults. My kids are constantly trying to foist "Buffy the Vampire Slayer" on me but I frankly find most of the comics sophmoric (I admit to being a fan of the show, though). This one - which I read after simply giving up - was really good- a cut above the other "buffy" comics that I've tried to read but had to put down. If you're a Buffy fan over 15, I'd reccomend it.
