Buffy the Vampire Slayer Omnibus, Volume 1 by Christopher Golden, Scott Lobdell, Fabian Nicieza, Paul Lee, Joss Whedon, Dan Brereton
5.0
5*
We're talking about my most favorite TV show EVER so I am bound to love it.
Well, I don't love love it but it is Buffy and it is canon, pre-Sunnydale and it gives us another insight as to who Buffy was and how she was before she came to Sunnydale. I kinda like that Dawn has been incorporated in there since "the beginning" but it rings a little less true... kinda, but it is still pretty good considering that everyone's memories have been altered in season 5 and Dawn became part of the new reality. Maybe it would have felt weirder had they not included her in the origin stories? I don't know.
The fact every story gives different looks to the characters feels a little bit weird BUT I don't dislike it at all since every artist gave his/her idea as to how the characters look like. And I like that, in the comics, they incorporated demon looking beasties with the vampires. Like green skinned, long ears and red eyes types... you know?!
Overall I really really liked this one. I am giving it a full 5*, which is rare I do this. I may be a bit biased but... what can I say. Anything Buffy will have me want to get it, no matter what, and I will enjoy it completely.
