It just felt like the show, great dialogue, just great writing.Definately the best arc of the series so far. After reading the first arc that left me with a bad taste in my mouth, i bought this one to give it another chance.I can say i'm very, very glad that i did. Brian does a great job writing a solid story with Faith and Giles at the helm.
poor thoughts and poorly put together just like the tv show that was canceled twice the characters are so bad that not even novels can make them better. There is no future for buffy in either tv, film or novels. the poor conceived concepts and terrible writing make it a terrible read.
I also love the idea that Giles and Faith will team up in the future to protect Buffy from those things that she just shouldn't need to deal with. For me, this is the best one of the Buffy Season 8 so far. I love the stories with Faith and that no matter how good Faith's intentions are, she always ends up with her face meeting Buffy's fist.
We also get up to date on the strange occurences with Dawn and why she is giant sized while we dig deeper into Willows memories of Tara and how she is trying to protect Kennedy from the same fate.While these stories are not as drawn out and detailed as the tv series was, it is a good fix and really does allow you to be drawn into Buffy's world once again. This story takes us up to date with her and both her self-doubt and everyone else's doubt about who she is and whose side she fights on. The characters and the dialogue are as sharp as ever in this second installation of season 8. Season 8 continues with a sizeable story about Faith and Giles, which were two of my favorite Buffy characters. In some ways, I enjoyed Faith's character development on Angel more than I did on Buffy, as she became as tormented as Angel about who she is and what she is to become.
The artwork is a little shakier in this volume than in the first, I think. Upper class slayer queen clash.While Buffy stresses about the creepy Twilight (who looks like either Kobra Commander or Marvel's Eel, or a combination), along with her giant daughter, Giles has a plan.An undercover mission for Faith as an English debutante of all things, to take out a rogue Slayer who want's Buffy's title.While not as good as the first volume, Vaughan still does a pretty serviceable job.
