Book Reviews of Buffy the Vampire Slayer Season Eight, Volume 1: The Long Way Home
Book Review: Not what I had hoped for
Summary: 1 Stars
Clearly Joss Whedon can do what he likes with the Buffy franchise and I wish him well.
Clearly many people have enjoyed this version of Buffy and I respect that.
I, however, did not enjoy it at all.
For me this was disjointed and lacked emotional depth. The tone of the series was absent.
It seemed to be all about one-liners and jumpy pacing.
The best of the series had a melancholy and emotional depth that this book completely lacks. It might be that this format is not conducive to the contemplative moments and soulful interactions that made the series so good.
I will not be reading future volumes.
Summary of Buffy the Vampire Slayer Season Eight, Volume 1: The Long Way Home
Since the destruction of the Hellmouth, the Slayers - newly legion - have gotten organized and are kicking some serious undead butt. But not everything's fun and firearms, as an old enemy reappears and Dawn experiences some serious growing pains. Meanwhile, one of the "Buffy" decoy slayers is going through major pain of her own. Buffy creator Joss Whedon brings Buffy back to Dark Horse in this direct follow-up to season seven of the smash-hit TV series. The bestselling and critically acclaimed issues #1-5 are collected here for the first time, as are their covers by Jo Chen and Georges Jeanty.Teens Books
