Buffy the Vampire Slayer Season Eight #2 (Dark Horse)
By Joss Whedon, Georges Jeanty & Jo Chen

This is a really rare comic -- it's a TV show adaptation that actually has relevance to the parent property, tells a strong story, advances the characters, has input from the creator and manages to satisfy both long-time fans of the series and relative newcomers. That's practically unheard of. Buffy continues training her legion of slayers this issue, we find out a bit more about the missing members of the cast and Amy's plot against Buffy begins to take effect. The script is peppered with the traditional Joss Whedon wit and includes some fantastic art by Georges Jeanty. Everything leads up to a last-page reveal that should have everyone who loves the Buffyverse cheering. Joss Whedon has had two pretty high-profile launches lately -- this book and taking over the helm of Runaways (also this week). Out of the two, this is definitely the stronger book. No fan of Buffy and the Scooby Gang can afford to pass this series up, and even people who didn't follow the TV show religiously will find a lot of stuff to enjoy here. Rating: 4.5/5 -Blake Petit
