A graphic novel collection of Year One stories based on the television series.

I'm always a little leery of anything that explores one of my interests in some other media than that in which it was originally created, but I was pretty curious about the Buffy comics. I found this in a small-town library and figured I'd give it a go. I'm glad, (and, truth be told, a little surprised), to say that I quite enjoyed it. It took me a little while to sink into the whole Buffy-as-comic-book thing, but once I was there I got a big kick out of it. The pacing's good, particularly in the final stories, and the paneling is used to great effect. I got something out of almost every story.

Recommended for Buffy fans. These stories all take place before the start of the show, too, so people with a mild interest in it might also enjoy this. ( )

The collection of comics was great! It's a great way to revisit the original movie with Kristy Swanson --- with a slightly different twist --- and to get some background story on Buffy's pre-Sunnydale life. Fans of the show and the movie will love the omnibus! ( )

This was a lot of rehashing from the series and movie, though a bit extra. Merely so-so. And, Dawn? Seriously? Couldn't stand her when she was introduced, never warmed to her and completely disgusted to discover her plugged into the past. Barf. ( )

Want to get the Buffy story from the very beginning? Then check out the new omnibus editions of the Buffy comics! Instead of reissuing them in the order that they were written, these volumes will be collecting all of the Buffy comics in chronological order. Volume 1 collects a story about Spike & Drusilla from 1900 and a few stories from before Buffy moved to Sunnydale, including one where she runs away to Las Vegas. If you can't get enough of Buffy, try these graphic novel collections. ( )

A collection of pre-show stories by various writers. Unfortunately, the pre-show adventures aren't nearly as compelling as the show itself or "Buffy Season Eight"; the graphic novel is quite unremarkable. ( )

Book description

Amazon.com Product Description (ISBN 159307784X, Paperback)

The definitive comics collection of all things Buffy starts here. This first massive volume begins at the beginning - The Origin, a faithful adaptation of creator Joss Whedon's original screenplay for the film that started it all. The newly-chosen slayer's road to Sunnydale continues in Viva Las Buffy and Slayer, Interrupted. Next, high school, the Scoobies and an English librarian lead the way into Season One continuity. Plus, The Goon creator Eric Powell provides pencils to "All's Fair," featuring Spike and Drusilla at the 1933 World's Fair.
