Buffy the Vampire Slayer Season 8 Volume 6: Retreat
Buffy the Vampire Slayer Season 8 Volume 6: Retreat | Jane Espenson
4 posts | 15 read | 2 to read
Buffy Season Eight Volume 6 showcases the first retreat of the Slayer legion. Vampires have solid footing at the top of the totem and Slayers have been crushed to the bottom -- in short, no one likes Buffy anymore . . . least of all this season's mysterious Big Bad, Twilight, who is hot on her magical trail! Now that it's the world against Slayers, Buffy must find a way to return the status quo to . . . status quo -- and keep her girls alive long enough to do it! Enter Oz, the only person/werewolf Buffy knows who is down with the suppression of magic, and can take the Slayer army off of Twilight's magic-specific radar. With Oz's assistance, the Slayers and Wiccans try to become "normal" through meditation and hard labor -- although, not everyone sees the advantage of being magicless, namely, Willow, Giles, and Andrew. And they could be right. After all, is a peaceful life for a Slayer even possible? * Oz appears in Buffy Season Eight! * Collects issues #26-#30 of the ongoing series. * The first three volumes of Buffy the Vampire Slayer Season Eight have combined to sell over 220,000 copies! A New York Times bestseller!

Hey everyone!! Need some advice. I‘d like to take a reading retreat on a budget. Ideally, I‘d like to go solo, somewhere in the U.S. for about a week, somewhere bed and breakfast-y, points for history, points for haunted, points if they‘ll feed me, and I‘d like it to be somewhere quiet and in nature (Lakes, mountains, woody, pass on beaches because I live in Florida). Can you think of anywhere that fits the bill? Google isn‘t really helping.

Almost five stars (at least for the story; the art continues to be mediocre and sometimes I still can't tell who is who right away)?? Great job Jane Espenson, this is the first Buffy comics volume that made me feel almost like I was watching the show. Great character moments and depth, but also humour! It was awesome to get to see Oz again; he was always one of my favourite characters. Although ewwww Xander and Dawn!!!

As I recall, this is about when I stopped reading while season 8 was still coming out. I don't know why this series just doesn't work. It's no one thing. It's everything. It's got a lot of great parts but they do not add up to a whole, let alone a good whole. I love Buffy so much but I just can't slog through these any longer. There's not enough enjoyment, not enough logic, and not enough of that good Buffy writing.
