I still don't understand why Willow is just implicitly trusting Marrak, he seems even more shady in this issue. Suspicious. Liked the appearance of an old S8 face, but is it kind of odd that Willow just happens to end up on the world they're on? Seems too simple, but perhaps with only 5 issues it has to be simple.

What's really interesting, and slightly creepy, is blank faced Dawn. That was just freaky. What's going on there? I'm guessing it ties in to the main S9 story, and I'm eager to find out. I've suspected for a while that Dawn is fading due to lack of magic, Buffy keeps forgetting her and her and Xander have been absent from the main story a lot - something that Scott Allie has mentioned will be addressed in the upcoming arc and then it'll make sense. Enjoying this mini much more than the Spike mini, think it's going to end up in a very well done and interesting resolution, esp as Christos Gage is joining the writing on the last 3 issues and as I've stated many times Angel & Faith has been the strongest title under the Season 9 umbrella.

Another thing that was interesting, that I nearly forgot: the repaired scythe being all red, like it is in Fray! I know the colouring of the scythe is very inconsistent, but I suspect this means something.

Willow y Marrak se enfrentan a la larva gigante que viene por ellos, en busca de venganza por el asesinato de su hija. La oruga mágica se encarga de protegerse a sí misma, mientras Willow ve cómo la larva se traga a Marrak. Pero la fortuna les sonríe, pues Willow utiliza un hechizo de protección en el que el atacado no sufre el daño del ataque, pues este se invierte contra su oponente en una enorme explosión.

Willow y Marrak continúan su camino, y se encuentran con Aluwyn, de la saga Vasuki, la cual es una serpiente mágica con la que Willow ya ha lideado en el pasado. Aluwyn lleva a Willow y Marrak consigo hasta la súper coven que ha formado con varias brujas más, en donde la guadaña de Willow es reparada. Con esto, la pelirroja intenta crear una conexión mágica entre Wonderland y la Tierra, pero no funciona, porque para ello debe haber magia en ambos sitios. Aluwyn tenía la esperanza de que Willow sí lo lograría, pero ya que ni ella pudo, no hay modo alguno.

Willow and her friend Marrak are being chased by a monster but Willow figures out what to do. The caterpillar gives them some advice on what lies beyond and how to prepare for it. The run in to flying nightmares.

Willow runs into a naga and ends up kissing her. It turns out she taught Willow a lot about magic. The naga leads her to what she calls a witch's paradise. The blade is reforged but thinks don't go well.

Second issue was just as good as the first. Willow continues to meet some interesting characters (including some familiar ones!) and is starting to figure out her quest is probably going to be even more difficult than first anticipated. Can't wait to see what the next issue holds!
