Product Description:
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.

- Buffy Season 8 Volume 1
If you are a fan of the "Buffy The Vampire Slayer" series then you should definitely pick this up.I just got it and I'm almost done with it.It's great. It has the same quality writing that you expect from the Buffy series.The art work is also very good.This is a must for any true Buffy fan.

- The long and mostly boring way home...
It took me a while to find out that there were comics based on a "Season 8" of my beloved buffy, and i was so excited and couldnt wait to give them a read.
Needless to say i've enjoyed them so far but the long way home is not one of the ones that i have enjoyed. Joss' writing in this book is (for the most part) horrible, i can honestly say that i have no idea what he was thinking. Giant dawn, bringing a certain dead character back. Just because he doesn't have a budget to work with anymore ... Read More

- A comic book is not a TV show on paper.
I am an old Buffy fan, but I am new to comic books. So I have a mixed review to offer.
The comic book format is difficult for me to fully appreciate. The artist renderings of the characters is, perhaps, too artistic. I know the characters well from the TV show, but I have trouble recognizing them in the comic book. Until they are identified by name, I am not sure who is who. It's sort of like having new actors play the parts. To make it worse, artists change from issue to issue, so you get ... Read More
Rating: - It was OK...
The Long Way Home was ok...I was really excited to get it and a little disapointed when I read it.It was really short and kind of spendy for not alot of story in it. I will buy the next one but I know now what to expect.
Rating: - Not a Bad Introduction
I've been purchasing all the single issues(I'm up to #20)and am getting the trades to keep. This is a good re-introduction to all the characters, though if you're completely new to Buffy, you should familiarize yourself with the main series first. The art isn't bad, and the story made me go out and get the rest of the arc. Personally I think "The Chain" is the best thing here, and the fact that it's a one-shot doesn't hurt either.
