Product Description
Buffy Season Eight Volume 6 showcases the first failure 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?

Format:Paperback
The Slayers are under siege. Twilight has demons and the US military hot on their heels, and they are forced to retreat and go undercover , by learning to suppress their demon magic-derived powers. Unfortunately this leaves them highly vulnerable to an attack.
The entire decision made no sense, since it was obvious that the Slayers would be sitting ducks. Maybe Buffy is just getting desperate? Plus the whole "Buffy killed Willow in the future" was just swept under the carpet, and the new Dawn-Xander plot was weird and forced. Not sure I buy into Xander being so good at all the military stuff, they did say in the series that his soldier skills were fading away.
The whole mystery about who Twilight is is also starting to wear a bit thin. Hopefully the next trade will reveal it otherwise I might get bored and fall off this series.

All a bit silly and unconvincing - especially the flying and the mystical bonking (I think that's this one). Okay if you want total escapism, but don't expect real Buffy goodness.

I am an avid collector of the Buffyverse so naturally i collect the comics...
Retreat is the 6 volume in graphic novels based on Joss Whedons Buffy the Vampire Slayer... These particular volumes follow on from where the tv show left off. Sunnydale in ruins, thousands of slayers, DAWN AND XANDER ARE KISSING AND OZ HAS A CHILD!!! WHAT!! I think its safe to say 'Retreat' shocked me... I havent quite decided if its in a good way or not but it shocked me, which im guessing was Joss' plan anyway
The volume leaves me wondering whats going to happen next and in particular leaves me wondering (has she turned in to a giant or is she flying)
Get it, read it, comment your thoughts, let me know what you think!

Buffy still kicks it.
I love that the comic book format has widened the stage for Buffy and the slayers. It has seemed a *little* odd to have so many old characters returning, but we know by now that... Read more

Very good Graphic Novel sequel to hit cult series
Very good graphic novel sequel to a hit cult series. What's to elaborate? Not quite top notch. But the characters are spot on. . .

What has happened?
This series started off ok but this volume is an absolute mess. A Buffy-Xander-Dawn love triangle - WTH?!! That's a load of rubbish that I don't want to read. Read more
