Buffy the Vampire Slayer by Brian K. Vaughan

I find her kind of annoying to be honest. I'm that one odd buffy fan who isn't all in love with her. So yeah, here we go, this volume really focuses on Faith. I never really bothered reading the comics but now that it's coming to a end (Believe season 12 is the last series there will be) I'm excited to finally catch up! Especially since my wife is almost done watching the entire show and I'm catching episodes here and there and remembering why I enjoyed it. So what can I say? on to the next!īuffy gets better and better. Two other parts here, not my favorites but we get to see Twilight for the first time and even if I don’t know if I get what happens in the last third of this volume, it sets a wonderful continuation where lies and mistrust are the basis.

All that amount of girls being powerful, almost invencible, out of danger and all? Hell yes, women power! BUT we’re forgetting that not every woman is good, there’s a lot of mean girls out there who doesn’t deserve a gift like that. But, mostly, what her parts show us, is how difficult and tricky is to have power and use it for the good. Our evil slayer in on a mission and it’s not just the pleasure of seeing her again, it’s the fact that she also makes you think about redemption, about being lonely, the necessity all of us have to be loved. Here in Volumen II Faith steals the show completely. “Hey I like me so kink but if you think I’m going downtown on this chick you chose the wrong chosen one” I like seeing the Xander-Dawn relationship developing.

I am a fan of Willow and Kennedy so I am good seeing them still together in their part. It’s just a guest shot so Vaughn’s heart may not be really deeply into it, but his writing moves my 3.5 story rating to 4, overcoming for the moment my not loving the art in the series. This second one is better, done by his buddy and one of the best writers of comics of all time, Brian Vaughn, who chooses right away to write about Faith, who takes on a rogue slayer named Gigi with the help of Giles (That Faith comes from Cleveland-where Vaughn is from-made me smile).Įverything here about Faith and her struggles between good and evil is good and the snarky Vaughn dialogue (especially re: Faith) is perfect for her and the Buffyverse, just quip after quip. The first volume was to me surprisingly not great as it was written by Joss and he is clearly one of the best writers of sf on tv and film. I read this maybe ten years or more ago, but now the fam has watched the whole series, and we told them season eight picks up right where season seven left off so I will read into it because all of season eight is lying around here and I can’t stand not participating in what they are talking about, so here I go.
