Buffy The Vampire Slayer: Season Eight #7
If all authors on this title are going to be writing arcs as good as this one, I'm likely to remain faithful to the title for quite some time. This is also the best usage of Faith as a character in quite some time. VERY GOOD.

Astonishing X-Men #22
Astonishing X-Men #22
EXCELLENT as usual. Better than Buffy, if that's not too sacrilegious. I've almost gotten used to the dreadfully slow pacing on this title. It's sort of like a television show. It even reads like one. Now if it would only come out monthly, I'd be entirely down with it. As it is, every time a new issue comes out, I have to reread the last one as well. And actually, that's a wondrous thing about this series: even so soon after reading it the first time, each book lends itself perfectly to being reread, with the reader finding new intricacies in the story and artwork in every rereading. When does the next issue come out?
This issue would be even better, if that's possible, if there were any chance that its ending would actually stick. But of course, that's not going to happen. But, oh, if only...

Pretty GOOD. I'm sad that Whedon will no longer be writing this series. BKV will probably be a good fit on it, so I'll continue to subscribe to it.

Buffy The Vampire Slayer #4
Buffy The Vampire Slayer #4
Well that was quite a lot of fun. This issue was EXACTLY what the final segment of the TV shows used to be like. Breakneck action with dialogue that flows between characters and scenes, without any letup. It reminds me just why I loved the show so much. And how every year Ally McBeal kept get nominated for an Emmy as a comedy, but Buffy never did - it was just outrageous! Not that Ally wasn't funny, but it wasn't half as witty as most episodes of Buffy!
I'm sorry to read that Joss is stepping away from the series to become its executive producer, but nothing else. Still, BKV's no slouch, and I know that he's a long time Buffy fan, so maybe this series will do alright under his pen. Still, there's no match for Joss.
I love that Joss was able to keep this story moving along, bringing in a host of elements, but never once letting the story slow down or suffer from it. If only he could do likewise for Astonishing X-Men, which merely seems to meander from issue to issue - well-written as they may be, nothing happens! This arc saw a complete story told from beginning to end, with the inclusion of new and old, villains, elements, and friends. It is wonderfully EXCELLENT. I'm so glad that I've been buying this series. I look forward to its future issues.

Buffy The Vampire Slayer - season 8 #2
Buffy The Vampire Slayer - season 8 #2
VERY GOOD. Xander talks to giant bathing Dawn. Giles apparently trains more slayers. Andrew debates the foibles of Lando Calrissian. Buffy makes up words. And Willow shows up. Plus, more clues to the "Big Bad" are revealed. Yup, it's a VERY GOOD issue.
