PLOT

The final battle between good and evil begins. With the death of Merrick, Buffy must go it alone against the evil vampire master Lothos. While she has found an ally, Pike, she still may not be able to stop him from taking over town, as the day he has decided to attack is the day of the school dance. Can Buffy stop all her high school from joining the undead army and defeat Lothos at the same time? Of course she can!

ART

Those green vamps again! There's also the small error of a short-haired Willow at the end, yet being a year later she should have her long haircut. Apart from those little things the series ends with the same brilliant artwork it has held throughout.

STORY

Not the most action packed ending. Buffy's battle with Lothos lasted just three pages, and most of that was talking. The scene at the end was a nice touch too, leaving the door wide open for the return of Pike, which if you didn't already know will be in Chris Golden's first solo BUFFY book, SINS OF THE FATHER.

OVERALL

A few errors and a slower action pace than the rest of the series, but all-in-all a great end to the series which so far has been the best storyline in any of the BUFFY comics Dark Horse has put out! BACK TO THE TOP
