Gotta have faith! - By: George Barnes, 14 Jul 2008 
I was a late convert to the world of Buffy. Like many I had watched it as a teenager, enjoyed it, & then been persuaded by who knows who, that it was not something one should be proud of watching. Then I watched Serenity & thought it was great, backtracked to firefly & loved that too. Then one day somebody told me that the same guy that did those, did buffy. "WHAT!" I said, "That cant be!", half clouded by the fact that everybody said that Buffy was rubbish, half trying to cover up my embarrassment of not making this ling earlier.
So to cut a long story short, I watched all of Buffyin a very short time, & I loved it. And then I watched Angel & I loved it less, but loved it all the same.
Before Mr. Whedon ever entered my life, & then during, & still now, I've been an avid reader of comics. All comics, from the good, to the bad, to the fugly. Some of my favouritesin the world of comics were the likes of Y the last man, & Runaways. Boy, I'm rambling here. Bear with me. What I'm really trying to say here, with probabl too much context, is that this comic is great. It's great as a part of the Buffy canon. I couldn't be happier with how the series has been carried on, & BKV's addition is on par with Whedons.
This is probably not a comic that is going to be among the greats. It's no Maus, it's no Watchmen. But it does what it sets out to do well, it carries on the story of our favourite vampire slayer (or whichever is your favourite). It's not a comic that revelsin the medium of comics. If it was adapted into another series or a film, it may be even better. But that aint going to happen. And honestly, i'm not complaining.
Sorry for the diatribe, one last thing i'd like to say... Keep it coming.
P.S. It's also way better than Angel: after the fall. Seriously.
Disappointingly unoriginal 'new' story - By: P. Cook, 08 Jul 2008 
I was severally disapointed by this new partin the so-called Season 8 of Buffy. Not because it is a bad tale overall or badly written or anything like that, but because the story is completely unoriginal & tired. A story about a rogue Slayer trying to kill Buffy has been done alreadyin Season 3 of the original TV series, with Faith herself as the rogue Slayer. An episode of Angel Season 5 also featured a rogue Slayer trying to kill Spike. And Giles asking Faith to help track down the rogue Slayer to redeem herself is also a bit silly considering the events at the end of Season 7. I think her saving Buffy's life at the end should have been more than enough to be forgiven for her past sins. Original ideas needed for the next installment please!
so after reintroducing buffy and co we then move away from them to faith. - By: genejoke, 07 Jul 2008 Whichin some ways seemed an odd idea, because it focuses so much on Faith that buffy barey gets a look in. Grumble over, it is still a fine read & faith has been part of buffy for years so why whinge anyway.
The same flaws with the art apply, as well as the same benefits. Brian k vaughns handle on faith is pretty good, his Giles is perfect.
The story is fairly simple but well handled & leaves a few more dangling threads.
Revisionist history? - By: Ticked Off, 17 Jun 2008 I'm somewhat confused about the plot of this one. It seems to me that Faith was more than redeemed during S7 of the show & more than made up for her previous evil & mistakes. Seems rather churlish to be talking about wiping the slate clean after that!
