Rating: - SO much better than season 8!
This is so much better than the Season 8 comics, I can't wait to see the next volumes. It's actually got more plot and more said and more substance. It's interesting with better storylines, filling in the blanks we always wanted filled in. I loved seeing Angel (and Whistler!), Wesley, Giles, and whoa, Giles' Dad!

A collection of many comics, with the setting actually being before she ever made it to Sunnydale.

Of course, we're also treated to a cute story featuring Dawn (because although she wasn't *really* there at the time, ... Read More

Rating: - A pretty good collection of previously-published Buffy stories
"Omnibus" was my first venture into the Buffy comic universe, having just finished the television series and looking for more. This graphic novel contains five previously-published stories by several different writers and artists, all set before the first season of Buffy. The first story is "The Origin" and is an adaptation of Joss Whedon's original screenplay from the film version of "Buffy the Vampire Slayer and shows how Buffy learn of her powers and how to cope with her destiny as the Slayer.
