Just like I read in issue #12, I have to say “that was wow”. Anyone remotely interested in Buffy should know by now what happened to her on this issue. I read an interview with Joss Whedon and he said this issue’s not a huge event in his mind. Damn Joss Whedon’s mind! I really do think what happened came completely out of nowhere.
The story involves a pack of wolves, which turns out are Japanese vampires who can also vanish into fog. These people enter the castle, avoiding detection and defense systems, and steal the scythe from under everyone’s noses. After debating who might have done this, Xander is sent to visit an old nemesis for answers.
Drew Goddard wrote five great episodes for the Buffy’s final TV season. I’m happy to say he hasn’t lost his touch. The characters and sense of humor have all been transferred to comic book form, faithfully. I love the awkward moments Buffy and Satsu face with the men - I couldn’t stop laughing! I just really hope Whedon doesn’t keep writing about Buffy’s “experimentations”. They seem so out of character to me. (Grade: B)
