Buffy the Vampire Slayer Season 8 - Let's do this!

[goodolmike]

Buffy the Vampire Slayer was my favorite show ever, so when it ended after season 7, I was bummed. Reportedly, the show ended because Sarah Michelle Gellar wanted to do movies (Scooby Do, The Grudge <-- FAIL and FAIL).

But a few years ago, Joss Whedon, the creator of the Buffy-verse and avid comic fan, decided to continue the story in a much more freeing format: comic books. He calls it Buffy Season 8. I started to read the comics as they came out, but I couldn't figure out how to subscribe and I didn't go to comic book stores often enough to keep up, so I gave up after a few issues.

Fast forward a few years. I noticed all of the issues are available in 5-issue "trade paperback". Sweet. I ordered volumes 1 and 2. Season 8 will be mine at last!!!

but… but… I liked Scooby Doo! The first one, anyway. It was true to the cartoon, and yet made fun of itself at the same time.

And they finally address that whole Scrappy-Doo lameness, too.

I read the Buffy trades as well. I am a HUGE fan of Buffy and Joss and so I enjoyed the comics. They are good (not great). I like to "hear" his writing since he so good with language, but the stories are well done. ENJOY!

Joss rebooted Astonishing X-Men a few years back, and the 24 issues he did changed the X-men for the better. Firefly was also,.. the shit.
