Buffy the Vampire Slayer Season Eight: Omnibus, Volume 1 by Jeph Loeb, Brian K. Vaughan, Drew Goddard, Joss Whedon
3.0
Buffy is now the general of an international army of slayers battling evil, and they've attracted unwanted attention from suspicious civilian military forces who turn to supernatural forces to fight Buffy on her level.
This first omnibus of season 8 was great fun. I haven't watched Buffy since I slammed it in college, and this continuation felt right on the mark. The sense of humour and dialogue style was re-created perfectly, and it was fun to see what they could do with no television budget constraints. It definitely feels more Fantasy.
I enjoyed Willow's character development so far in her search for more magical training to help her balance her power. I thought Buffy's girl-on-girl experimentation was a little weird but it was handled realistically and in character.
