My Rating ~ 4 bites
Buffy and gang have been
living their life in the wake of the last big near-apocalypse. Magical
creatures are laying low and life is quiet. Buffy and Spike have broken up,
Dawn and Xander are married with a baby and living in the burbs of San Fran, Giles
is his old self again, and Willow is teaching women how to empower themselves.
But something big is coming. Bigger than anything they’ve ever faced before. And
they’ll need everyone on board to stop it.
This graphic novel says
Volume One, but it feels an awful like The End to me. I know I read that Joss
Whedon and Dark Horse were parting ways after Season 12, but I’m not sure if
there will be a Volume Two to this one. Maybe?
I’m really not happy
with the fast forward. What the fuck? So many changes and no explanations. Then
Angel and Illyria show up and I find out they are lovers? Again, I say wtf?!
Where is all this coming from? Apparently the Angel and other comics have some
major shit going on that I missed.
What I like about this
last gasp: The humor, the appearance of some major characters, the fight scenes.
What I don’t like: the
fast forward, the huge changes dumped on me with no explanation, a lot of the
artwork is just…off. There were many times I couldn’t tell who was who in this.
Ugh.
I really get the feeling
this is it – the end. So, good-bye, my friends. I’ll miss you.
