Comics: The Gathering - Nick Devonald
Sep 01, 2020The kind of issue which is important for furthering the mythology of the series, will delight fans with the introduction of certain characters, and is an all round blast. Filled with the trademark humour of the series it's an incredible issue and has so many implications for the rest of the series. The art from Andrs Genolet & Ral Angulo is excellent and amongst the best team we've had so far in the Buffyverse. Read Full Review

Buffy the Vampire Slayer #17 was a solid break from the madness and drama to explore an area of the Buffyverse which was usually neglected in stories past. Read Full Review
