Apr 12, 2008 - Stephanie from Charleston:

Order was received fast and complete.

Mar 29, 2008 - Leslie from Corvallis:

So good, like all the other ones.

Mar 23, 2008 - Melanie from NC:

I love how this season is drawing on the mythos from years ago in the buffyverse - great job.

Mar 23, 2008 - John from Dundee, Scotland:

Another solid outing from Whedon, Jeanty & co. The anticipation of just exactly who the new big-bad is continues to build as we kick off another 4 ep story. Excellent Series so far.

Mar 20, 2008 - Stephen from Texas:

Quite entertaining, just like the rest of the series so far, got it from my preferred vendor TFAW, which does a top-notch job.

Mar 20, 2008 - cresendo from houston:

This is a great comic! I cant believe the scope of the story Joss Whedon has presented. As big as the story unfolds, there are still great personal moments that have left me breathless.

The artwork is top notch and the writing is better than anything they could have put on screen. The only thing that keeps me from going to an all 5 star rating, is that Angel After the Fall is much better.

Mar 19, 2008 - Marsha from Illinois:

Perfect! Loved it!

Mar 17, 2008 - Gerald from Miami, FL :

Real great! Awesome!

Mar 17, 2008 - Michael from home:

I thought this was a good addition to the series. The art work is great, and so was the storyline.

Mar 15, 2008 - Segolene from France:

Perfect as usual!

Mar 15, 2008 - Ryan from Lufkin, TX:

As a fan of the show, and a fan of comics, I can't ask for more.

Mar 14, 2008 - Juan B. Seoane from Spain:

As usual... when one believes that everything has already been seen, then something pops up and... bingo! The Buffyverse keeps bringing it on, twist endings, amazing stories, and great storylines. Thanks Joss.

Mar 13, 2008 - Lisa from Virginia:

Excellent, excellent issue. Can't wait for more.

Mar 13, 2008 - Sonia from Rutherford, NJ:

Just that I can get a new fix for the Buffy show (arguably the best show in TV history) is enough to warrant 3 stars...the extra 2 stars are for continuing the story as the show would have, with the same nuances, mysteries and growth.

Mar 13, 2008 - Nielle from AZ:

I'd read ANY comic by Joss Whedon, but this Buffy season just keeps getting better :)

Mar 13, 2008 - Kenneth from Central Square, NY:

Always a great read!

Mar 13, 2008 - Jaimie from NH:

Great condition, no tears or stains, which is great 'cause I am a HUGE Buffy fan ;)

Mar 12, 2008 - april from home:

I love season eight, I just wish there were a hundred pages cuz I hate it when I'm at the end.

Mar 12, 2008 - Etienne from Switzerland:

What can I say, I wait the next comic with impatience.

Mar 12, 2008 - joanna from Chicago:

Mar 11, 2008 - Amanda from Seattle:

I love this comic series. I adore the writing, and the art is amazing!

Mar 11, 2008 - Neil from America:

AWESOME

Mar 10, 2008 - Mathew from Ohio:

Only because some of the earlier issues/episodes were of such remarkable quality.

Mar 10, 2008 - Kimberly from Work:

I love the Buffy series. I just wish there was more meat to each Seaons 8 Issue. It seems like we just get into a story line and then you are at the last page.

Mar 10, 2008 - Mellisa from Georgia:

Everything you loved about Buffy is back. Joss is the bomb

Mar 10, 2008 - John from Seattle, WA:

Kudos to Joss and crew for such a well done series. I was afraid season eight in comic form would be more about demons and less about the relationships that made the TV series so extraordinary. Glad I was mistaken. No. 11 shows once again, the one without the superpower continues to be the most loyal and insightful... even with half the sight.

Mar 10, 2008 - Christopher from Memphis:

Excellent as always

Mar 09, 2008 - Elizabeth from New York:

Simply amazing!

Mar 09, 2008 - Athena from Washington:

Easy to setup billing and quick shipping.

Mar 09, 2008 - Jim from Okla:

Greatest comic ever.

Mar 09, 2008 - carlos from chicago:

Great comic!

Mar 09, 2008 - dan from NYC:

The whole series is excellent. Great artwork and story lines. Keeps the spirit of the original TV series while expanding it through unique aspects of the comic book medium.

Mar 08, 2008 - Scott from Utah:

Good teaser and answers a lot of questions transitioning from the series to the books. But it does not stand alone.

Mar 08, 2008 - Misty from Austin, Texas:

Loved it!

Mar 08, 2008 - Peter from Everett, WA:

The story, as well as the artwork, is getting better and better. I am so hooked, I cannot wait until the others are sent to me!

Mar 08, 2008 - Donna from kirkland,wa:

Joss Whedon is an amazing writer... What more needs to be said? The artwork is spectacular. I had stopped reading comic books awhile back, but am now firmly addicted once again!

Mar 07, 2008 - Tanisha from seattle:

Just who IS Twilight? It can't be Riley! Great issue!

Mar 07, 2008 - Mary from Idaho:

It is the feel of the show all over again, and I will continue to read every single one over and over!

Feb 27, 2008 - fotofu from ut:

F 'N Awesome

Feb 22, 2008 - Ms.O from Austin,Tx:

I was a fan of the series and an even bigger fan of the comic! In this comic Buffy meets a new threat (who is supposedly going to bring about the last moments of every slayer on Earth!!)

He has the appearance and all the powers of a superhero but all the attitude and menacing character of a very high powered villain.

He tells Buffy things about herself and other slayers and brings about a shadow of doubt over Buffy's mind and heart and the future of herself and every slayer.

Feb 11, 2008 - Richard L. from New Haven, Conn:

SPOILER ALERT
The kiss, yes the kiss was of Buffy to wake her up was resolved. Think cinnamon and you'll pick up the clue. Hell, I thought it was Xander, shows ya what I know. Anyhoo, onto issue 11....

I cannot say what it is about Buffy Season 8 but I am drawn to it like a moth to a hot flame. I just hope I don't get burned.

Season 8 is nothing short of a masterpiece. I mean, Joss said he could go places in the comic that neither tv nor movies can accomplish and he was right. And to think we have how many more issues in season 8, 30 or so. I read that Joss wants it between 30-50 issues for season 8.

Hey, the more the better!!!

Even more than the new Angel comic season 6 and the beginning of the Star Wars "Vector" year long storyline, is Buffy season 8. And I didn't start watching Buffy until 2005 (sorry got on the train very late) and now I have Buffy novels all over my floor, printouts from the internet of what was said about Buffy going all the way back to season 1. So, it's a lot to take in, in such a short amount of time.

That's it for now folks, see you in Japan.

Feb 08, 2008 - Xian from Austin, TX:

Fabulous issue by Whedon and Jeanty. Whedon's writing astounds me by his ability to present drama, comedy, and action without making it one big melodrama.

The exploration of what it means to be a Slayer, and what it means now, post-Chosen One era is thought-provoking. Are there consequences in activating thousands of girls at once? Is there a downside to the upside? Has Buffy accomplished what she thought she wanted to? Has she become cookies yet, according to her own analogy (watch the show finale if you don't understand the reference)?

We have seen the consequences of power in the wrong hands before: Faith pre-repentance, the mentally unstable Slayer on season 5 of Angel, Gigi, and now, Simone and her posse of gun-toting Slayers.

But the issue has never been explored from Buffy's POV. There really hasn't been that much introspection since she decided that her power was meant to be shared, not hoarded. The beginning monologue leads into this, detailing how saving the world means keeping the status quo and how apocalypses come because the world's trying to change. What happens then is either chaos, or moving forward to something better.

In the finale, Buffy changes the status quo by sharing her power. But whether or not it really means that she's stepped in the right direction is now in question. Did she really move on to something better, or did she hurl the world into chaos?

That's the question that she struggles with, once her moral certainty receives a thrashing from "Twilight", the Big Bad of the season.

Confirmation of the identity of Buffy's mystery kiss is also given, and the scene is handled sensitively and believably.

Jeanty's artwork suffers occasionally from some funky coloring... there are moments where Buffy's forehead looks slightly distorted. But other than that, this was a great issue.
