If you want a roller coaster ride of emotions, try reading Buffy Season Eight #14. The excruciatingly long wait has been worth it. In my book, Part 3 of the Wolves at the Gate arc has a solid place in the Top 3 issues of this season so far.
Last issue:
A mysterious gang of vampires from […]

RogueHunter, I bow before you.
Now this is what fan art is all about! Check out these incredibly detailed, life-like figures, sets, clothing and accessories of various Buffyverse characters (yes, even the minor ones). Satsu with her three badge pins and katana made me smile (now I’m just waiting for her teeny stuffed toy). Principal Wood […]

Are you tired of waiting for the super-late-IF-at-all-coming preview to Buffy #14? You’re not alone. It’s May 1st, just a few days before the scheduled release of the next Season 8 comics (Wolves at the Gate, Part 2). I think I’m giving up on Darkhorse updates. Scott Allie, you should have at least said something […]

Remember that whole hoopla that followed when Buffy did it with fellow slayer Satsu? Well, the assertion of some people that it was just a marketing gimmick made me extra curious about the comics’ sales, especially the effect of Issue #12. The Diamond Comic Distibutors Top #300 list for March 2008 has just come out, […]

Last time on Buffy: Vampires disguised as wolves attacked the Slayer HQ in Scotland and got Buffy’s scythe. Buffy and another slayer, Satsu, had a one-night stand. Xander and Rene went to Transylvania to enlist Dracula as an unlikely ally.
Xander, Rene, and Dracula
The first part of the issue gives us an intimate look at Dracula’s […]

Frank Miller’s Sin City is definitely one of best comics ever made. The strong black & white artwork and storytelling just puts me in a certain mood (and it doesn’t hurt that there are two lesbian couples here portrayed in a good light, albeit they appeared briefly).
Seems like I’m not the only Buffy-obsessed fan with […]

Buffy fans rock, and that’s a fact. But two of them just took fandom to the extreme, each by creating their own versions of Buffy Season 8 comics in video. One is a silent 3D animation, and the other, a stylized “film” out of stills, visual effects, and music. The results do need more polish, […]

I found a wonderfully detailed analysis of Satsu’s character on Season 8 of the Buffy comics. Stormwreath studies virtually every panel Satsu appeared in and gives us his own clinical interpretation. Here’s an excerpt:
Recent developments would tend to suggest that Satsu is becoming a major character in ‘Buffy’… In fact, if the show were still […]

With the dizzying developments in Buffy Season 8, a lot of questions are being raised. One question I’m particularly eager to get answered is, “What’s Faith gonna say?” I think it’s the hidden Fuffy in me surfacing. I’d make a fanfic myself but I’m already busy writing one on Star Trek: Voyager. So, I decided […]

Some pictures are worth a thousand words. This one is worth at least a million. When this frame appeared in Issue #12 of the Buffy the Vampire Slayer Season 8 comics, the Buffy forums went in fire. I don’t think I’ve ever seen it that way since the series finale Chosen. A lot of people […]
