This is a graphic novel version of the movie (sort of)--it uses the tv Buffyverse and the movie story to bring Buffy to Sunnydale right before the series began--make sense?

I liked this back story because I've heard that Joss didn't like the way the movie was done so now it's a little more.... his story.

This is somewhat mislabeled in Goodreads; it's a trade paperback collecting the first issues of the earlier Buffy comic series published 1998-2004 by Dark Horse. Dan Brereton helped Christopher Golden script his earlier mass market paperback into comic format; illustrations are by Joe Bennet. When the series began to be collected, "The Origin" was Volume 0 of the series.

It felt like watching the movie all over again, except now it was SMG, instead of Kristy Swanson in my head!

Having never seen the film I was interested to see the events the led Buffy and her mum to move to Summerville. It turns out she burned down the school gym.
Seriously though, this was a pretty straightforward origin story, with the watcher (who looks nothing like Donald Sutherland) being quite at home hanging around the girls' changing rooms...
The vampires looked a bit weird and certainly more batlike (and green) than the ones from the show, but the story was okay, if a little jumpy.
I liked how at the end it turns out this is a retelling by Buffy to the Scooby Gang which goes to explaining how she looked more Sarah Michelle Geller than Kirsty Swanson (any other differences could be dismissed as Buffy misremembering or deliberately changing details).

Esta historia ya se había contado anteriormente en la serie, pero nunca de forma tan detallada y emotiva.
Adoro la evolución de Buffy, quien tiene que dejar atrás su vida de adolescente superficial para aceptar el duro destino de ser la Cazadora. Es una de mis características favoritas del personaje (tanto en la serie como en los cómics); su evolución, la madurez que alcanza tras superar situaciones traumáticas. La hace especialmente verosímil y le da a la saga una coherencia interna muy efectiva.
Es un cómic perfecto para fans.

This is the canonical version of the film. It's not a great comic, but it gives Buffy's backstory before the series starts. I'd recommend reading it after watching at least the first episode of the TV show.
"The origin comic, though I have issues with it, CAN pretty much be accepted as canonical. They did a cool job of combining the movie script (the SCRIPT) with the series, that was nice, and using the series Merrick." - Joss Whedon
