Willow has become The Slayer and Buffy is clueless about fighting. The monster is a giant crab. Meh.

Interesting twists on the now "classic" BtVS. I'll continue this series but it's missing something for me. Some of the illustrations I liked and some were not a great match, I felt.

A fresh twist on the Buffyverse. I have not liked many of the novels expanding the universe and have only read the continuations in graphic novel form, but loved Sarah Gailey enough to give this a try, and plan to continue the series.

Okay, okay. I've been a little bored and/or confused by some of the recent Buffy comic re-imaginings but I personally thought this one was kind of fun!

In this universe, Willow and Giles have attempted to free Buffy of the pain of being the Slayer by transferring her powers to Willow. Things do not do as planned.

I thought this was well written, and a different and unique look at some of our favorite characters while still maintaining the "tone" of the TV show.
