Buffy the Vampire Slayer Omnibus: Volume 1
Buffy the Vampire Slayer Omnibus: Volume 1 | Christopher Golden, Joss Whedon, Joe Bennett, Paul Lee, Dan Brereton, Hector Gomez
38 posts | 33 read | 20 to read
The definitive comics collection of all things "Buffy" starts here. This first massive volume begins at the beginning--"The Origin," a "faithful" adaptation of creator Joss Whedon's original screenplay for the film that started it all. The newly chosen Slayer's road to Sunnydale continues in "Viva Las Buffy" and "Slayer, Interrupted." Next, Sunnydale, the Scoobies, and an English librarian lead the way into Season 1 continuity. Plus, "The Goon" creator Eric Powell provides pencils to "All's Fair," featuring Spike and Drusilla at the 1933 World's Fair. The smash TV hit "Buffy the Vampire Slayer" led to nearly a decade of comics at Dark Horse--including multiple specials, one-shots, and guest miniseries. This omnibus series is the ultimate compilation of the "Buffy" comics Dark Horse has published, and runs along the TV series' timeline. A fitting companion to Whedon's comics-based relaunch of the show.

I really enjoyed stepping back into my childhood of reading comics. Although I guess they are more grown up "graphic novel". Buffy was one of my favorite shows & I still watch on Netflix. Looking forward to reading Vol 2

1. Buffy the Vampire Slayer always and foreva. 🧛🏼‍♂️
2. Going to CT for some family time then trying to get some work done around the apartment.
3. Fantasy. I‘ve read most of the classics and the more popular stuff but could use some good recs that aren‘t tacky.
4. Sleeping.
5. A new president.

2. Celebrate Christmas and my birthday, read, sleep, not think about work at all.
3. Travel literature.

Holy shit 😱😱 for the last 20 yrs Buffy's license has been owned by Dark Horse comics. Alllllllllll the Buffy comics ever published have been done by Dark Horse. But at the end of this year their license is expiring and Buffy is moving over to Boom! Studios and this is a ~very big deal~ I WONDER WHAT HER COMICS WILL BE LIKE AT BOOM OMG

Every year I have do a Buffy marathon in memoriam to my brother who was a fan and usually it's the show but this year I decided to go with the comics and this vol was a pretty good start.
Dawn got introduced early and I found out what happened to Pike, which not gonna lie, I'm disappointed to know now.😞

This was a lot of fun for me because I was a huge fan of the 90's movie with Kristy Swanson but never watched the TV series (I saw a few snippets here & there but never enough to grab my full attention). It was exciting to see what happened *after* the movie ended and I'll probably grab the next book, which could lead to me finally watching the TV series eventually.

readinginthedark The movie was fun, but with a TV series you can really develop the characters. It‘s always been one of my favorites—definitely give it a try! 6y
kyraleseberg @readinginthedark I just checked and my library has all the seasons available so I'm thinking I'll be watching sooner rather than later!! 🤗 6y
readinginthedark Yay! Maybe I can find the time to read this and we can compare notes on both! 6y

Happy Free Comic Book Day, Littens! I haven't been able to participate for a few years, so I made up for lost time by making a couple of stops. And one of my local comic shops was accepting canned food donations for extra comics! I took a bag, of course. So awesome.

silentrequiem Oooh lucky. Mine had a 5 comic limit, no exceptions. 7y
readinginthedark @silentrequiem Yeah, mine was five per person. But I got five extra with the canned food and took my husband with me to get a few more. And then my son and I went to the library and got five or six more! I was super lucky! 7y

readinginthedark @TobeyTheScavengerMonk There were some good-looking ones this year. Haven't had time to read them yet. But I understand how you feel. The comic store where I lived for the last five years only did Free Comic Book Day in the morning while I was working, so I never got anything. 😕 7y

Simona I'm always happy when I see that someone is so enthusiastic about books 😃 8y
BekahB I'm kinda mad at myself for giving this book to someone because I never got it back. But I also like to get other people into the show and comics so I tend to shove reading materials into their arms when they ask 'is this any good?' Thank goodness I was smart enough not to lend out my Tales of the Vampires and Tales of the Slayers bind-up. Always exciting to see another BTVS fan! 😀 8y
queerbookreader @BekahB I'm fully one of those people who will never get around to giving back a book someone's lent me so I just don't loan books or accept loaned books anymore haha. I loved reading this one though!! The whole prequel right before we meet Buffy is so cool to see 8y
