PLOT
Selke, that vampire who
Buffy just couldn't kill in #3, returns to wreak havoc in Sunnydale, although
that's not happening till the second act of this nine-part storyline.
In a first for the Buffy comics this story will run over a nine
issue run, with two single-issue intervals. So while Selke seeks
out the help of a Doctor to recreate the beauty she held before meeting
Buffy, Buffy trains to prepare herself for any potential vampire threats.
Oh, and there's the small factor of her being offered a modelling job.
ART
The return of Joe Bennett
should be a good thing, but after last issue's Cliff Richards debut, this
issue falls flat. While not exactly bad, the art is not Bennett's
best, and the separations are far too obvious, taking up way too much
valuable art space.
STORY
Wow, what a totally boring
and uninteresting story. Either Andi Watson is running out of ideas
or Dark Horse have decided to take all the action out of their books.
What a pity a new writer will not be joining the title at the same time
as Cliff Richards, and if the rest of this storyline is boring, here's
one person who won't be renewing their subscriptions.
OVERALL
To be perfectly frank,
there is nothing good to say about this title, other than the fact that
the cover looks nice. Disappointing effort for all involved - Dark
Horse really need to get some new blood into the title, and soon. back to the top
