Buffy the Vampire Slayer Season 9 Volume 4: Welcome to the Team by Sierra Hahn, Various, Scott Allie, Andrew Chambliss
3.0
BOOM! ILLYRIA! That's most of what I have to say. It covers a lot, but I do like Buffy getting a higher powered team-up.
I'm not loving Billy. I wish I could say more, but that's the extent of my feelings. Well, it feels like a Politically correct tag on, and a sop to the fact that everyone else is leaving her. It's not an equal power relationship and not the family support she has had from her true family. The pressure of Matriarch-hood is something I feel Buffyu could use some respite from. Then again, maybe that's what she wants, no respite. Some things just feel right to people. Buffy might not be avoiding decisions, she is, perhaps, having the forward motion she desires.
Either way, this was a good sequel to "Apart, of Me." I miss Spike, but it's a good time for him to give both of them space. I think Buffy and Spike compliment one another, and I am kind of glad that Buffy met Illyria, but also glad that Spike wasn't their focus at any time. Yay, Series, keep making me happy in tiny ways.
Speaking of those things: the Council was great! I have always loved the little glimpses into demon society. Reluctantly "contacting" Buffy was fun and interesting
