Graphic novel that tells the ‘backstory’ of how Buffy came to be the Slayer—the story at her previous school/town before she came to Sunnydale. I hadn’t realized when I wishlisted this at PBS that it was indeed a graphic novel so was a little surprised when I got it, and obviously it was a very quick read. It was entertaining and a good read for what it was, but not something I’ll order more from in the series. ( )

This is Buffy's story in Los Angeles. A mostly vapid high school girl, she runs into Merrick, and he explains the whole vampire situation.

When Lothos the old flouncy vamp turns up, quite a few people start dying, or becoming not-living. This includes one of her friends.

It takes a fairly convincing act of arson to get rid of 'em.

This is a graphic novel version of the movie (sort of)--it uses the tv Buffyverse and the movie story to bring Buffy to Sunnydale right before the series began--make sense? ( )
