PLOT
The
Doctor tries in vain to restore Selke's good looks, before she
turns him into one of the legion of the undead. Meanwhile
over at Sunnydale High, Buffy is getting unwanted attention
from the lead singer of Double Cross, one of Sunnydale's top
bands. Buffy doesn't want the attention, especially with
a blood donor clinic set up on the school grounds, a prime target
for vamps. There is someone who does want the attention
of the band though - Amy Madison, and when she is ignored she
has a trick or two up her sleeve to teach the lead singer a
lesson.
ART
What
an issue to go out on. After the rubbish we got for the
last two issues, it's nice to see that Bennett can still draw.
There is a lot of detail in all the drawing this time, and the
only downfall is the fact that Buffy and Amy are almost indistinguishable
when they appear together, and just check out that final pic
of Selke - what a transformation, and she didn't even need silicone!
STORY
Much
like how the previous two parts of the Bad Blood storyline
should've been. Two very separate plotlines continue in
this issue - Buffy, Amy and the rock band providing the comedy
and Selke and the Doc providing the darker side. I hope
the rest of the Bad Blood storyline will follow this
issue's example, although seeing Buffy meet Selke soon would
be nice.
OVERALL
The best issue so far in the Bad Blood series, and a
nice way for Bennett to bow out. While they are still
minor errors like not being able to tell who Amy and Buffy are,
the series has come a long way from its early days of Hector
Gomez, and as we're now entering year two we can only hope things
will get better. BACK TO
