The Season Finale is here, and Buffy must face the ultimate betrayal! Seems like a perfect time for Spike to come back. Series creator Joss Whedon writes the final story arc of Buffy Season 8, taking his greatest characters to places only he can! Teamed with series artist Georges Jeanty, Joss reunites the dysfunctional gang of Buffy, Angel, and Spike, in the thick of it together for the first time since Season 3, and gives the Scoobies their gravest challenge ever — defending reality itself from an onslaught of demons. It’s the biggest Buffy finale ever!
I don't read a lot of graphic novels, but I gotta keep up with Buffy! While browsing at B&N I realized I had never finished reading Season 8, so I picked this up and read it while waiting to meet someone. It was a good end to a season that went all over the place. I'm glad Joss and team will be scaling it back for Season 9.
What a horrible, horrible way to desecrate the corpse of a long-dead story. The TV series was without a doubt one of the best ones out there and it had the best ending one could have hoped for.
These comics are a desperate attempt to create a new cash cow (which probably worked) out of it by inventing terrible and ridiculous story lines which don't even make sense and in some cases completely ruin the show.
