Angel-awkwardness and reconciliation, snarks and handshakes between old frenemies, addressing the scene in Seeing Red from Buffy's perspective and the effects it left on her for what is the first real time, Spike and Buffy communicating and working through their problems, illustrating how it helps to be aware of the demons around you in order to properly protect yourself from them, precious father-daughter bonding between Giles and Buffy, the pressure of getting to try (and possibly fail) again, and a plot twist that solved my issue with a case of stop bringing dead characters back and let them have their peace. Lots of good things in this one.

The first 3 issues were super boring. The battle with that particular big bad seems to drag on and on. Then, when we finally get to an interesting storyline, Megan Levens's terrible art ruins it. I'm sorry, but I need Buffy to look like Buffy. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

See osa, kus Angel läbi astus, oli päris lõbus, muidu päris igav.

I loved this volume, and I think it goes deeper than some of the previous ones in terms of thematic content. Buffy and her friends have to fight a new Big Bad, the demon Archaeus, whose name literally denotes that he is old. The most dangerous thing about Archaeus is that he has a hold in Druscilla, Spike, and Angel alike. The Scoobies and friends have to fight old demons, both literally and figuratively. Angel's back in town to help, and he and Spike have to put their differences aside for the good of the cause. Also, Giles and the younger Scoobies alike have to deal with the good and bad consequences of getting older. Xander and Buffy both learn to better cope with their romantic relationship issues that reflect on getting hurt in the past. They truly are making the leap from adolescence to young adulthood, and as someone who is on the later end of my young adulthood journey, I can relate to some of what they are going through. Since I teach younger adolescents, I can't help but chuckle at middle school aged Giles's young boy struggles. The whole gang is growing up, in more ways than one, and it's entertaining to me to see how their interactions change with one another as a result.

This was a good installment, and I probably would have given it five stars if she was with Angel and not Spike. It felt more cohesive, and the twist at the end was good.
