Buffy lives on… unfortunately
So, I’ve been hearing the buzz for a while about the new Buffy comic. It picks up where the TV show ended (it’s even called “Season 8″) and Joss wrote the first story arc. I thought I would give it a try and was about to buy the first few issues that are out when I discovered there is a 5-page preview on the Dark Horse website. I’m glad I stopped and checked it out before I shelled out any cash.
The story begins: Buffy jumps out of a helicopter with a ray gun.
I wish I was joking.
Needless to say, I won’t be pursuing Season 8. I’m not sure what’s up with Joss these days. Maybe he’s past his prime or maybe I’ve just grown up since season 1. Whatever the case, it makes me a little sad to see what’s become of what started out so amazing. I suppose I shouldn’t really be surprised after seasons 6 and 7.
Oh well…
