Buffy the Vampire Slayer Season 8 Volume 4: Time of Your Life
Buffy the Vampire Slayer Season 8 Volume 4: Time of Your Life | Joss Whedon, Andy Owens
10 posts | 21 read | 4 to read
Willow and Buffy head to New York City to unlock the secrets of Buffy's mysterious scythe, when something goes terribly awry. Buffy is propelled into a dystopian future where there's only one Slayer -- Fray, the title character of Joss Whedon's 2001 series, the first comic he ever wrote. Their uneasy alliance falls apart, leading to the death of a major character from the TV series, while back in the twenty-first century, the Scotland base falls prey to a mystical bomb courtesy of the Biggest Bad-Twilight. * The first two volumes of Buffy Season Eight have combined to sell over 160,000 copies! * Includes the highly anticipated Buffy/Fray crossover, "Time of Your Life," and "After These Messages . . . We'll Be Right Back," written by Jeph Loeb (Batman: The Long Halloween)! * "Joss Whedon, the man, the myth, the legend, writes the comic with the same genius as he did the show. The art, penciled by Georges Jeanty, is as faboo as the writing." -Janet Evanovich, New York Times best-selling author of Hard Eight * "The dialogue is Whedonesque and I can hear how the actors would read there lines. It's fun and witty and were treated to more fantastical stories than the WB/UPN could ever pony up the money to do." -Comic Book Resources * A New York Times bestseller!

This was fun! I love how these volumes really feel like episodes of the show. I also love the references to episodes of the show. I ❤️ Buffy!

MinDea That looks like Alyson Hannigan! 7y

Tinky5870 I need to watch it all again! It‘s been ages ❤️ I‘d love to read these, as well! 7y
GypsyKat @Tinky5870 Chris and I are actually rewatching it now! We just finished season 3, so now we can start season 4 and season one of Angel (which is not as good, but since it‘s still part of the universe I love it anyway). 😉 7y
Tinky5870 Awesome 😀 I still haven‘t watched all of Angel 😂 I need to! 7y
GypsyKat @Tinky5870 Don‘t have high expectations, I mainly just love it for seeing some of the characters. It‘s definitely got its moments though. ❤️ 7y

One really nice thing about having ComiXology on my phone is that I can read comics when it‘s slow at work. 👍

tracey38 Nice! I read ebooks when it's slow at work, too. 7y
That-Bookish-Hiker I read ebooks at work when it‘s slow too. That‘s how I can read so many books in a year. 🤗 7y

Thought it was time to throw another graphic novel into the mix, so I‘m continuing on with Buffy. 💪

Mehso-so

Because this is a crossover with the series Fray, about a vampire slayer in the far future, most of the volume is a convoluted time travel plot that makes very little sense. I have no idea at the end who wanted what. I have dubbed this volume "Slays of Future Past."

The B part, so to speak, is important to the overall season arc, but I'm still hung up on how much the main part confused me.

Still, Fray's worldbuilding seems really neat.

The action in this one was the best! Time travel! Evil Willow! Dawn's a centaur! Moral complexity! A flashback to high school! A great nod to one of my favourite episodes Band Candy! But damnit could Kennedy be more annoying? When is Willow going to dump her??

I LOVED THIS. It was so much better than the last one. It was funny. It was actiony. It had my favorite slayer and her epic hair in it. It felt like Buffy and I loved every minute.
