    Buffy's Back.

    Joss Whedon back on Buffy. That's how it should be. Anything else feels like filler. This issue picks up shortly after the last season (obviously). There has been a little time that has gone by. I was never a huge Buffy fan but always appreciated the witty diaglouge and cheesey plotlines. You get a sense of the ambition that Whedon has by returning to his beloved characters. There was the expected one-liners. It's amazing how witty they can all be. It was also nice that a character from the "past," Amy Madison.

    So I liked it. I'm glad Whedon is taking a major role in this series rather than simply throw it to the generic writer and just cash the paychecks he'd recieve. The art was good too. The characters resemble the actors. Buffy hasn't had her proportions "exagerated" to satisfy the desire of the fanboys.

    Whedon also has some all-star writers lined up to tell their stories. I will stick around as long as it stays consistently good. Looks like it's gonna be a fun ride.

      Being a Buffy fan, I was not quite sure what to expect from this comic. Having watched all of Whedon's television work and read his comic work on Serenity, Fray and Astonishing X-Men, I knew it would be good - but would it be as good as the original?The answer is most definitely yes! This first issue has all of the action, drama and wit of the show on which it is based. It was great to see what had become of the world that was built in the show, and its beloved characters.This comic is obviou...
