This volume picks up where Volume 1 left off
with that nutbanger of a cliffhanger. I have to say I spent a good portion of
this story in mass confusion. I couldn’t figure out what the hell was going on
and it made me cranky. The confusion cloud clears somewhat by the end, but that
end? What.The.Actual.Fuck? Did I read that right? Dun-dun-dunnnnn. This
cliffhanger is so much worse than the one in Volume 1! Good thing I have Volume
4 to read.
There’s a lot going on in this tale and there
are many characters vying for attention. Angel, Connor and Gunn get the
majority, but there’s plenty of Spike and Wesley with a sprinkling of Lorne and
the others. I would love to see more Groo, a character that I think was
completely wasted in the show. He would have been a wonderful permanent
addition to the team. I can see Spike messing with him big time. It would have been
hilarious! One character I was not happy to see was Cordelia. Sorry, Cordy
fans, but I hated her and was glad when she died. Period. So there’s that. The
artwork is darker than the last volumes, but still gorgeous. Excellent work! Also,
I give 5 bites to Betta George’s Diary toward the end (so very amusing!) and
two thumbs up for the Q&A. Time to grab Volume 4 and get some damn answers!
