Contains 5 stories in the continuing Season 8 of
the Buffyverse, where vampires are suddenly the hot new thing because of the
ditz Harmony getting her own reality tv show and propaganda against the slayers
have forced them into hiding.
Harmonic
Divergence~ Ok,
somehow stupid Harmony has ended up on television with her own reality show and
she’s outted vampires. Seriously? Not only that, she’s singlehandedly yanked the
slayers into the limelight and made them look like the bad guys. Someone stake
her already. I really wish she had died at the end of Angel Season 5. She’s like a cockroach that can’t be killed. It’s a
nightmare. The illustrations are excellent though.
Swell ~ Stuffed vampire kitties
used to take out the slayers. Really, Twilight? How lame ass can you get? And
leave it to Harmony to put a different spin on it. I’m serious. Can’t someone
just stake her already and make it look like she tripped and fell on a fence or
something? Great and, at times, gross illustrations. Not something I’d like
translated to the big or little screen anytime soon.
Predators
and Prey ~
Ah! An Andrew story. I gotta admit that I kinda love Andrew. He’s so…such
a…well, he provides much needed comic relief. And he’s come a long way since
being Warren’s bitch. Not a bad story, but the illustrations are weak.
Safe ~ This Giles and Faith
story about a Slayer sanctuary where girls who were Chosen, but don’t want to
be can go and be safe is a decent one. The illustrations are pretty good, too.
Living
Doll ~ Thank
goodness the Dawn storyline gets wrapped up in this one. I loved Dawn’s look as
a doll, but the rest of the illustrations are so-so.
Super Short Shorts at the end of the
graphic novel
Harmony
Bites ~ Again
with that dumbass Harmony. And now Clem is hanging with her? I thought he had
better taste than that. Gah! I’m not overly fond of the illustrations.
Vampy Cat
Play Friend ~ Well,
that escalated quickly. I like the illustrations for this one.

Q&A
with Harmony Kendall
~ Dumb as a box of rocks. When the hell will this end?!
Slayers:
Why they hate America
~ Man, bad PR sucks for the slayers.
