Buffy the Vampire Slayer Season Nine, Volume 4: Welcome to the Team by Andrew Chambliss, Joss Whedon

5.0

Buffy is back!

When I was first reading talk about season 9 it was basically that they were going to step away from the strange and over the top that was season 8. The past few volumes have done that, but at the same time Buffy wasn't all in it. She was coping with the magical fallout of season 8 in a very self centered passive kinda way. Things are going to change and this is the volume where Buffy finally decides to wake up and see the wrong. I'm not going to go into great detail because I don't really want to give anything away, but I will say this- the script was so like the tv show I could hear their voices reading them as I read it. Amazing! I do, however, have a small complaint and it can be clearly seen on page one: what is up with the zompires' heads? They are like a bit out of scale and it really threw me because I've come to expect more from previous volumes. There were a few frames I was a tad disappointed by but the overall was still very awesome. I'd recommend this to any fans especially those struggling with the strange of season 8 because this really is a return to the Buffy I've always loved. Amazing thank you!
