Product Description

Product Description

Since the destruction of the Hellmouth, the Slayers - newly legion - have gotten organized and are kicking some serious undead butt. But not everything's fun and firearms, as an old enemy reappears and Dawn experiences some serious growing pains. Meanwhile, one of the "Buffy" decoy slayers is going through major pain of her own. Buffy creator Joss Whedon brings Buffy back to Dark Horse in this direct follow-up to season seven of the smash-hit TV series. The bestselling and critically acclaimed issues #1-5 are collected here for the first time, as are their covers by Jo Chen and Georges Jeanty.

5.0 out of 5 stars Must read, 20 Nov 2007
By T. DAR (Bracknell, England (South-East)) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
The Long Way Home collects the first 5 issues of the new series of Buffy comics, continuing where the television series ended. If you're a Buffy fan that misses the show but you think comic books are silly: still buy this anyway. It's not expensive and if you don't like it you don't need to buy the next one, but chances are you'll be converted.

The individual comics that you won't find on Amazon are released on a monthly schedule. Issue 10 is coming in January 2008 and the series is currently planned to run a few more years. Joss Whedon is back writing the characters he created, along with several of his trusted writer friends. Issues keep selling out and going back to print - it's that good.

Ok, story. The TV show ended with the collapse of Sunnydale and several hundred girls around the world receiving slayer-strength. We now join the Buffy gang at their new base of operations in Scotland, which is also home to many of the newly activated slayers. They saved the world but there are still demons out there, and not every slayer is on the side of good. Worse, an army is after Buffy, seeing her as the leader of a terrorist group. Is she ready to fight human beings?

3.0 out of 5 stars Not disastrous, but a little disappointing., 2 Jan 2008
By Rosemary Pointon - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
Whilst I'm happy to see the revival of one of my all time favourite TV shows in any form, I'm afraid I can't wholly endorse this comic book incarnation. One of the strengths of the original series was that it rarely ventured outside the small town of Sunnydale, which put an intense focus on the extraordinary events it depicted and provided an intimate setting for us to get to know, identify with and care for the central characters.

The broadening of the franchise onto a world stage with multiple slayers may make for some spectacular "episodes", but it also sheds a good deal of its old warmth and shifts it into more conventional superhero territory, to the extent that at one point Willow literally flies in to the action. The old meeting places in the high school library, the magic shop and the Summers residence have been supplanted by a high tech headquarters replete with giant TV screens and movie style military trappings, and for me it is a far from satisfying substitute. It's as if Buffy has set up her own version of the Initiative.

Maybe Joss Whedon's long term plan has to do with Buffy and the Scoobies breaking loose from the unwieldy monster of an organisation they've created and finding places to belong elsewhere, as the subtitle Long Way Home implies. I certainly hope so, but at the moment it's too early to tell for sure and for me this has been a faltering start to the journey.

4.0 out of 5 stars Not perfect but a good addition to the Buffy mythos., 7 Jul 2008
By genejoke "Mmmm Shiny" (uk) - See all my reviews
(TOP 500 REVIEWER)   
One of the criticisms levelled at this buffy season 8, is that it strays from the original set uo of the TV series. It is a fair point but as the opening narrative tells the reader "the funny thing about changing the world is afterwards everythings different."
Long way home has the task of reintroducing us to Buffy and co as well as setting up a new status quo, it works well enough with only a few minor bumps. Yes it lacks some of the charm of the cosy early series of Tv show, but the characters are still very much the same.
Georges Jeanty is a fair artist, however the inking doesn't do his work justice. I have seen him do much better work in the past. That said most of the characters are easily recognised.
