This volume was all about love, so of course I was super into it. I mean, these few sets of panels where Buffy and Spike FINALLY get it on get five out of five from me on their own. SPUFFY!! But every other love storyline was also great: Andrew finally realizes he's gay!! Xander and Dawn officially go to just being friends. Willow breaks up with her demon girlfriend. Giles's adult girlfriend rightly refuses to date him as a twelve-year-old. Oh yeah, and there's also a nasty new monster.

Captured the feel of the show while rehabilitating characters that had become unwatchable in later seasons. The story was focused on a theme of love which worked for most characters. Notable exception was Giles, who felt shoehorned into the theme and out of character. He seems to have lost his intelligence, patience, and empathy, among other things. But overall, nice to see everyone maturing while still being themselves.

The art work is not the same, but this was a fantastic volume in the Buffy verse I thought. All the gang is together, Spike and Buffy and trying out this dating thing again and a very big, very new big bad has been introduced. It's nothing earth shattering, but it's been some good storytelling.
The characters have shown a little bit of growth and nothing completely stupid happened in this one. I am enjoying this. I think they have finally gotten this right. Buffy even takes a walk inside Spike's mind, talk about trust and scariness. Would anyone really want their loved one to see everything in their head they have done or thought?? I don't know. I think that could be very difficult.
I'm in for some more.

This may have been the best Buffy graphic novel since the series started. The characters, the action, the art, the writing - everything was spot on. All of the relationship updates were perfect, and I'm so happy with how they handled Andrew. Buffy and Spike's story was so great and I really loved how they expressed Buffy experiencing Spike's memories. Season 10 is blowing me away!

This volume focuses mainly on relationships with the main arc for the season taking a backseat. not heavy on the action, but has lots of dialog. Not bad, but definitely not a favorite.

A great break from the ongoing battle against evil to something scarier-love and relationships!

I've never been a big shipper and I don't really like romance/romcoms, yet this volume made me really happy. It's not just that it's about the Scoobies' love lives, but it's a very grown up kind of relationships that we get to see, which is pretty rare in fiction (except for Giles but, then again, he is a kid so I guess it's to be expected). They all mess up in this comics, but they also all realize their mistakes and try to be good adults. Also, Xander finally sees a professional to deal with his issues and BOY I have been waiting for it since maybe season 2 of Buffy so really I'm happy about that.
