This book is fun! A reimagining of the popular Buffy mythos created by Joss Whedon. The art is very enjoyable, and the dialogue (at times) comes off like it was just pulled right out of the tv series. Though in other areas, the dialogue comes off as clunky, and like Jordie is trying just a little too hard. The Narration is hit and miss, but when it hits, it hits in all the right ways. There are some logic issues in the book, though. First, in a scene about halfway through the book we find Buffy sleeping on the grave of what we are to infer is going to be a new vampire. A thing that happens a few times in the original series, so no issue there. BUT when the new born vampire emerges from the coffin/grave he not only has knowledge of the slayer, but also has a medallion given to him from a witch to keep him alive. How does a new vampire have all of this? Second is tied to the narration. We get the narration bubbles in a form that suggests a text dialogue box like on a computer screen. So this is implying, perhaps, a computer based journal. Which we actually see toward the end of the issue, only it is in the hands of Xander for some reason.
Overall though I enjoyed this book.
