BUFFY THE VAMPIRE SLAYER #5

PLOT

It's that time of the month again - Oz has to be chained up in the library, only this time he escaped, which meant Buffy had to hit him, leaving Oz with a broken arm, and Buffy short of a friend, as Willow is not speaking to her.  Thankfully there appear to be no vampires on the streets at the moment, but there could be a worse threat as there appears to be another werewolf on the scene, but is all exactly what it seems?

ART

The worst art so far in a Buffy comic!  Has Gomez ever seen the TV series?  (That's Cordy and Xander above, or at least I think it is...)

STORY

The Willow and Buffy not speaking to each other plotline was good, but the Helldog didn't seem scary enough to me.

OVERALL

It'll only be a "Happy New Year" when Gomez leaves the Buffy franchise!  Roll on #9 when Bennett returns as the "get rid of Gomez" campaign is drawing closer... BACK TO THE TOP

HAPPY NEW YEAR
