Book Reviews of Tales of the Slayers (Buffy the Vampire Slayer)
Book Review: Squeezing money from a stone.
Summary: 1 Stars
Not anyone's finest hour. This exploitative collection is nothing more than a quick way to steal hard-earned pocket money from the Whedon-starved masses.
The Espenson/Russell collaboration is the best of the lot, but even it feels like a rejected script from "Season 2" instead of a clever Austen pastiche.
The Whedon/Sale story is predictable and unchallenging, but the Sale art looks good.
The others all feel rushed, and, frankly, boring.
Summary of Tales of the Slayers (Buffy the Vampire Slayer)
Buffy the Vampire Slayer is the latest in a long tradition of young women who've been trained to give their lives in the war against vampires. We've gotten glimpses of these other women over the years on T.V., in comics, and in books. Now for the first time, the writers from the television series, including the show's creator, Joss Whedon, and one of its stars, Amber "Tara" Benson, present the tales of these girls, with the help of comics' greatest artists. Gene Colan, co-creator of Marvel's Blade and Tomb of Dracula, returns to Dark Horse for the story of a young girl in 1970s New York, battling vampires. Tim Sale, artist of recent epics Batman: The Long Halloween and Superman for All Seasons teams with Joss Whedon for a grim tale of a medieval slayer. American comics legend P. Craig Russell (Dr. Strange, The Ring of the Nibelung) and international rising star Mira Friedmann (Actus Tragicus) also join the stellar lineup.Teens Books
