 Not perfect but a good addition to the Buffy mythos. July 7, 2008

One of the criticisms levelled at this buffy season 8, is that it strays from the original set uo of the TV series. It is a fair point but as the opening narrative tells the reader "the funny thing about changing the world is afterwards everythings different."
Long way home has the task of reintroducing us to Buffy and co as well as setting up a new status quo, it works well enough with only a few minor bumps. Yes it lacks some of the charm of the cosy early series of Tv show, but the characters are still very much the same.
Georges Jeanty is a fair artist, however the inking doesn't do his work justice. I have seen him do much better work in the past. That said most of the characters are easily recognised.

Season Eight May 27, 2008

If you love the television series, you'll love the Season Eight Buffy comics. These are of a higher standard than any of the Pre-Season Eight Buffy comics that I've read. The creator of the Buffy television series, the illustrious Joss Whedon, has written the stories for these Season Eight comics, as well as writing the text for many of these issues.
Even if, like me, you haven't read a comic in years, you'll not regret getting your hands on Buffy Season Eight.
As well as recommending Buffy Season Eight, I also recommend Astonishing X-Men which is entirely written by Whedon. The outstanding text is complimented by Cassaday's fine artwork.
Even if you are new to American comic books, I strongly encourage you to buy the Astonishing X-Men trade paper backs, starting with the first volume, Gifted.
REALLY good May 13, 2008
I loved the tv show of buffy (and angel) and i was really looking forward to getting this, when i did I was really impressed with it! Its a lot better than the other buffy comics (that for some strange reason made vampires green and furry... and sometimes have wings) and I'm really looking forward to getting "No future for you"
brilliant read minus 1 star for the shortness tho!!! April 14, 2008
