From Goodreads:
Season 8
ended with a bang that cut the world off from magic—culminating in another set
of world-ending problems. Buffy has left her best friend, Willow, powerless,
and brought an end to a millennia-long tradition of superpowered girls. By day,
Buffy is a twenty-something waitress with no real direction, and even though
magic is gone, she’s still a vampire Slayer by night. Bigger problem? Vampires
are becoming an epidemic . . . of zompires!
First, the artwork…love it! Most of the
characters look the way I expect them to and I love the new peeps. There was
one guy I wasn’t sure who it was, but then I realized it was Riley. He
definitely didn’t look right. Other than that, I loved it.
Now, the story…I was quite disappointed with
Season 8, but being a fan I knew I had to continue on. I have to say this new
season is starting off with promise. After the destruction of the seed, things
are very grim for the magical community, but Buffy still needs to slay
vampires. Unfortunately, she needs a job in order to pay bills, so she works in
a coffee shop. She sorta has the normal mundane life she once wanted with a job
and an apartment with roommates, but things are never what they seem. Zompires?
Eldre Koh? Severin? Spike? The
groundwork is laid and it looks like things are going to be very interesting. I
hope they continue to be so and that ending? Holy shit! What will Buffy do
now?!
