buffy the vampire slayer

 

PLOT

A media student has found an old black and white horror film in the archives and decides to sit down and watch it.  It's a retro vampire movie, although the difference with this one is the star can communicate with whoever is watching!  The next day the student goes around rounding up people to star and write a new movie which he will direct.  Unluckily for him the students he does round up are none other than Buffy and the rest of the Slayerettes.  On the day of the rehearsal, Willow, Cordelia, Xander and Oz show up.  After a brief introduction they are transported into the film, where the vampire star plans to make them his next victims!  Now all that stands between the Slayerettes and the final cut is Buffy, but will she remember to show up?

ART

Wow!  The best artist on the Buffy series, Richards captures every member of the cast exactly, no more trying to figure out who's who!  I was really looking forward to the next issue for the return of Joe Bennett, but now I can't wait for Cliff Richards' next issue (#15)!

STORY

Evil Bad Guy, Buffy saves the day again.  Watson's plots are getting monotonous now, with no character development or use of anyone apart from Buffy coming up with a plan of escape.  Hopefully the start of a story arc next issue will improve things.

OVERALL

When the art inside the comic is better than that on the cover, you finally realise that Dark Horse have been listening to our complaints.  Now if only we could get a new writer onboard... Chris Golden are you free? back to the top
