A graphic novel containing eight stories of past and future Slayers.

This was a reread for me. I originally read it a couple of years ago, when the library had very few graphic novels on hand and I was experimenting with new things. I wasn't a Buffy fan back then; I'd seen maybe three or four episodes from the first few seasons, and I didn't know anything about the show's mythology.

I definitely enjoyed the book more this time, armed with my (ridiculously detailed) new knowledge, but it was still just a quick, fun read. Nothing particularly special or memorable, though there are a couple of things that tie in with the series in interesting ways. My favourite story was "Presumption" by Jane Espenson and P. Craig Russell. They managed to pull off a tight little tale with a great twist.

If you're a Buffy fan and your library has this one, it's worth reading. ( )

The arc story is from Joss Whedon, the various stories in it are from the various writers of Buffy the Vampire Slayer.
Different styles and different POV's, but it still all feels familiar. Even if it is just that it deepens something that was allready mentioned in the series.
And the link with Lord of the Ring made me laugh :)

More tales, more slayers, the art of Amber Benson, this is really a great collection--fleshes out more history i want fleshed out--give me More, More, More... ( )
