Buffy Season 9 Review
Freefall.
A deliberate downsizing from the EPIC scale of Season 8 to something far more intimate featuring only the core Scoobies and a new setting: San Francisco. Issue #1 is the final time Joss Whedon will script a story in it's entirity featuring these characters.

There's something I've always wanted to say and this seems as good a place as anywhere to say it:
RE: Buffy comics.
A heartfelt thank you to and Joss and the other show writers who waded into the murky Comic Book waters and never once treated it like a lesser medium.
To us fans
That meant a lot.

My first thoughts seeing Neal's work as a kid was 'This guy is too good for comics!'
Here, his beautiful work with Tom Palmer took the original X-Men series to new heights.

Buffy Season 8 Review
Last Gleaming
The return of Spike for this epic conclusion and finally an explanation of the controlling 'Twilight' force that has plagued Buffy all Season. It's vast and spiralling, but with Whedon back as writer still focuses on the heart of the matter: the people.

A definite Tim Burton vibe running through this remarkable dark Fairy Tale, and being mainly silent and unscripted, it relies heavily on nightmarish visuals and the incredible musical score by Christopher Beck. Without a doubt, the most acclaimed Buffy Episode of them all

A risky show to make: having the entire cast sing and dance their way through an Episode, but mainly due to Whedon's deft touch as writer and director and the cast's willingness to push themselves, it soars, and is regarded by many as the best Episode ever.

Twilight
The unlimited budget of comics means you can do anything, and that concept is taken literally here with the creation of a new universe. Epic and sprawling, but miles apart from the Buffy we know and love.
At least the mystery of who Twilight is, is revealed.
