You know you're reading something special when the conversations can be as intense as any slaying. These characters continue to live amazing lives beyond the television series. Every contributor is at the top of their game. Highest possible recommendation of the week. Read Full Review

There wasn't much in the way of THIS BIG THING HAPPENED AND WAS IMPORTANT, but there was a lot of this small thing happened and it was just as important. Quiet issues like this are as necessary as the louder ones with fights with Archaeus and Andrew coming out. I'll read and love more issues of Buffy and Spike arguing, Buffy and Willow arguing, and Willow going on dates more than I will read and love the big fights. Read Full Review

Buffy The Vampire Slayer Season 10 #22 does not beat around the bushes that adulthood is no joke when it comes to moving forward or getting left behind. Growth and personal growth means a lot in the grand scheme of life. Read Full Review

The only major storyline deals with the return of Dylan to Spike's life as another of Buffy's core relatinships develops some cracks but, at least so far, doesn't show signs of crumbling just yet. Worth a look. Read Full Review

Rebekah Isaacs is one of the most capable, expressive and well-utilised comics artists in the business and is one of those people that I will follow for the rest of her hopefully long and fruitful career. For a series that is as grounded in its inter-personal dynamics as Buffy the Vampire Slayer is, you need an artist that can capture the spectrum of emotions that each character goes through, while also ensuring that the detail on the supernatural creatures isn't neglected. During this issue, our Scoobies are put through the emotional ringer during the demon invasions of Earth while also attempting to settle a moral dispute. Every time that a new issue of Season 10 is released, I'm blown away by the ease with which you could read this bo ok without any text and still grasp a vast proportion of the plot. Isaacs comprehends the understated details that give a facial expression its meaning, so the small face crinkles and the side-smirks combine to form an extra layer that is missing from so many mainstream comics. On top of all of that, backgrounds are filled with intricacies that enhance the magical aesthetic while also ensuring that you know these characters have lives outside of what we see. more
