I like the longer stories, but the short ones tend to fall really flat.
Also a bit disappointed that there is not a single story with Faith before she became the villain, I would have enjoyed reading about her.

I don't know if the stories are getting better or if I'm getting used to the graphic novel format, lol. Probably the stories. ;)

Best omnibus I've read so far! Set at the end of season 3 and through season 4.

A first attempt at reading a graphic novel. Quite tolerable, and I'll give it another go.

Like previous omnibuses (omnibi?) some stories were good and some weren't as great. Most of these take place during Season 4, with the first one (Haunted) taking place immediately after Season 3. One of the stories (The Heart of a Slayer) is completely out of order, taking place in Season 5.

Haunted was pretty good - with Buffy dealing with the fallout of The Mayor and with Faith.

The Heart of a Slayer was pretty good, following an ancient slater through time.

Cemetery of Lost Love was interesting, including the voodoo god Baron Samedi.

I think all of these are probably just more interesting for fans of the series, though.

One of the better ones--a nice little Buffy fix.
