Buffy the Vampire Slayer Season 12: The Reckoning
Buffy the Vampire Slayer Season 12: The Reckoning | Joss Whedon, Christos Gage
2 posts | 4 read
Joss Whedon's Buffy and crew are confronted by a future Big Bad who has travelled to the present, intent on stealing the power of the Slayers, becoming all-powerful, and destroying the world as we know it! The lives of Buffy and the Scoobies haven't been too eventful for a while--at least as far as fighting demons and the forces of darkness are concerned. But that all changes when Angel brings news of an amassing a force that must be reckoned with: Wolfram & Hart, a legion of demons, and Harth, vampire from the future. Buffy knows Harth and his twin sister--the Slayer, Fray--from her meeting with them and Dark Willow in the future. But this army that has been gathered is more than she and her crew were expecting . . . Narrowly escaping an initial encounter, the gang travels to the future to recruit Fray and learn of their dismal fate should they fail to defeat this legion that has invaded the present. Harth is after the power of the Slayers, and being in possession of all their memories, he knows how to rewrite the outcome of this ultimate battle before it occurs. This is the reckoning . . . and it could be the end of Buffy, Fray, and all the Slayers, forever. Joss Whedon (The Avengers, Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D.) and Christos Gage (Angel & Faith, Buffy, Amazing Spider-Man), alongside artist Georges Jeanty (Serenity, Buffy), bring a battle-fueled Buffy saga for the ages!

😟😡😭

I was SO excited for this and it let me down SO badly. At 4 issues, it was really rushed and the storylines and character arcs were not given the closure they deserved. After a rough start (season 8), Christos Gage came in and did wonders for the series. Then, Joss took over for the very end, and loaded it up with a bunch of nods to the TV ending, instead of giving it its own. And that artwork... bad.

What happened?! I'm in shock.

Pickpick

The story was rushed and I have a few other quibbles about this volume - but I‘m having all the nostalgic feels right now so I‘m giving this a pick instead of a so-so. This is probably the end of the Buffy series and I‘m ok with that. Despite its ups and downs (and bizarre turns) the comic was a pretty decent continuation of the show and I‘m glad I got more of the Scooby gang for as long as I did. #buffyforever
