Buffy: The High School Years: Freaks & Geeks
Buffy: The High School Years: Freaks & Geeks | Faith Erin Hicks, Joss Whedon
13 posts | 15 read | 10 to read
Moving to a new school and making new friends will create enough anxiety for any teenage girl. But when you're Buffy Summers, a vampire slayer--the "Chosen One" (with all that entails)--building a new life can be overwhelming. A group of nerdy vampires, shunned by their cooler brethren, decide to climb the vampire social ladder by taking out the Slayer. They play on Buffy's insecurities, wearing her down until she is full-on distracted by the mental warfare. But in addition to her Watcher, Giles, this Slayer has a couple of new friends, Willow and Xander, to cheer her on . . . except, of course, when they're not getting along. Award-winning author Faith Erin Hicks ("The Adventures of Superhero Girl") brings the angst, the action, and the cool to "Buffy the Vampire Slayer"!

Captures the feel of season one Buffy pretty well, although season one is not my favorite. The art is okay, and the story feels like a lesser, but not bad, episode.

This was just okay. I love “Buffy” and have a renewed passion for it thanks to the fantastic podcast “Buffering the Vampire Slayer,” so I‘ve been consuming many Buffy-related things. This was entertaining and felt true to the characters, but ultimately it just didn‘t feel like it had enough of a story.

monalyisha I just started watching “Angel” because I‘ve never seen the whole thing (as a rabid Buffy fan, I was too mad about the split when it originally aired). Also, a friend who works in a comics shop handed me a comic about Giles as a teenager? Haha. I guess what I‘m trying to say is: I‘m delving back in, too. 7y
ScientistSam Ooh, Giles backstory? Is it good?@monalyisha 7y

A cute quick dose of Buffy. #24in48

BekahB I'm loving these high school year volumes! I read the 3rd book last night. They feel very season 1, which I'm probably in the minority of saying is one of my favorite seasons. 😄 7y

Capped off my reading last night with a quick Buffy fix. It's been awhile since I've seen the show but the dialogue and mannerisms seemed so authentic I started hearing the characters in my head as I was reading. I do love Faith Erin Hicks. #24in48

Cute!! Short and seems a little more younger-reader style, but very cute and still has the charm of the show. It's got almost manga ish style art, a little different from other Buffy comics I've read. I think this is set in S1. #seriousreadingday

This gets points for giving me another story about my scoobies, but that's about it, unfortunately. The art was not my style, everyone looked like they had botched plastic surgery. On top of that, it was really low on the wit that should be central to any Buffy and the gang story.

LOL. Silly Vampires! This cute and quick graphic novel takes us back to the early years of Buffy (this book specifically before Angel's "secret" was known). It was fun, light, nostalgic, and way too short. I can't wait to read more. ?

Dogearedcopy I know you only gave it s So-So rating, but as a die-hard BTVS fan, this is too hard to ignore! (Added to my To Read list) 8y
Eyelit @Dogearedcopy I was on the fence for the rating size it really was fun and cute! It was just too short and a little too light on the banter I'm used to 8y

I'm a mega BTVS fan. I started watching the series in high school and fell in love after episode 1. This comic covering the high school years hit all my nostalgia receptors. It was fantastic! It read EXACTLY like a season 1 episode with all the camp and snark included. I'm excited for the next book.

readinginthedark Oh man, Buffy!!! One of my top three favorite shows of all time! 8y
BekahB @readinginthedark I think Buffy was my spirit animal in high school. I love that show! 😄 8y
readinginthedark @BekahB Oh, and I love your Funko characters! I only have Angel and Kaylee (from Firefly) so far. 8y
