BUFFY THE VAMPIRE SLAYER #10: HEY GOOD LOOKIN', PART 2

PLOT

While Buffy continues with her training, Selke and the Doctor continue their plans to give Selke her looks back once again.  With her treatment starting to work, Selke decides to team up with the local vampires to kill the Slayer, but they're not interested and so Selke must go it alone.

Meanwhile after being headhunted last issue, Buffy faces her first modelling assignment, although she may have a hard time with the shoot when she discovers why the other models never seem to age - they're part of the Undead!

ART

If you like Bennett's art then my advice is to pick up Marvel's Nova and X-51: Machine Man as this issue isn't worth the paper it's printed on.  While the cover is once of the most original yet, the inside art just doesn't look right.  From Buffy to Angel, all the character look like they could have been drawn by Hector Gomez, not exactly the best way to end what has been a really successful run by Bennett.

STORY

And so we continue with the most uninteresting Buffy storyline yet.  Selke was good in her early appearances and we all knew that after that things were not exactly over, but dragging this return out over nine issues is a real pain!  While there is more action than last month (just) the story just doesn't work - two-part storylines are okay, but please Dark Horse never do this again!  The thought of Buffy being a model is intriguing, but since most modelling jobs are in the daytime, this part of the story is just not believable.

OVERALL

Rubbish, rubbish, rubbish!  What else can I say about this issue.  If you want to save some money then my advice is not to buy Buffy between #9 and #11 as the first act in the Bad Blood storyline goes from bad to worse.  Obviously the people at Fox and Dark Horse had a lot to drink when they allowed this storyline to go ahead.
