Willow - "It was a name Giles lecutred you about."

Two stories in this volume: Buffy takes a job at Kennedy's new security company, and a kid named Billy learns to fight vampires.
The Buffy/Kennedy story is ok. Nothing spectacular, but it shows us a little more of the world.
As for Billy the Vampire Slayer... I often find myself disappointed by portrayals of gay people. They rarely live up to the hype. This story was a string of cliches. It was cute, but there was no substance. Getting a gay character into the Buffyverse would have meant something back when this was a TV show. Now? I feel like, yet again, we got the representation the last generation needed, too late to do any good.
Actually, that 'low on substance' remark fits the whole volume. Maybe the whole season.
Billy's story was what kept me reading these comics. I'm not sure I'll keep going. The quality is continually disappointing.

It was ok. I never much liked Kennedy, and Willow and Spike are gone, so not entirely much there for me, but it was ok. Is nice to see Buffy making her own decisions about what she wants her life to be and what not.
She's coming together as a person and accepting who she is, and feeling comfortable in her skin and, at least in my experience, that's more likely to happen in your 30s than your 20s.
