*Book source ~ Library Contains 5 stories in the continuing Season 8 of the Buffyverse, where vampires are suddenly the hot new thing because of the ditz Harmony getting her own reality tv show and propaganda against the slayers have forced them into hiding. Harmonic Divergence~ Ok, somehow stup...
I have to admit I really enjoyed this, and I wonder if that's almost a sign of Stockholm Syndrome, or at least getting more used to the comic book form, than it's to the merits of this particular volume. Spoilers below, so don't jump on me if you continue reading the review--you've been warned. It'...
I loved the opening of this one, all the different Slayer threads coming together, though the "on island" resolution was a bit of a downer.

(Dawn goes through her third transformation and then is finally back to normal.)This volume di...
You remember how, when he was young and hungry and battling budgetary constraints and studio execs at every turn, George Lucas made the original Star Wars trilogy?Then you remember how 20 years later, he had enough money and CGI to have complete control and tell whatever story he wanted and he subse...
Kind of a lot of threads here, very disjointed. What's the deal with the dolls? Also some of these characters I don't recall as being important, but apparently they are? Also kind of a super-quick ending to the Dawn situation. I'm not sure about all this.
