A great ending to this new chapter in the Buffyverse. It was so much fun to meet the New Scoobies and get to see the OGs helping out to kick butt. Buffy Forever!

Frankie the witch/vampire slayer is back with the new Scoobies and the OG crew, fighting The Darkness and trying to bring Buffy and the slayers back. An exciting ending to the series by Kendare Blake,  this is an ode to everything fans love about the Buffyverse, with callbacks and shout-outs throughout.
