Buffy '97 #1

by Jeremy Lambert

"That Buffy Show," a The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air meets Dawson's Creek style teen drama sitcom, is a perfect fit for the Buffster. It's all going well until the cast gets a taste of the supernatural when the audience totally vamps out!

The Scooby Gang is forced to learn actual slayage skills on live television from "TV" Buffy to save their lives, and more importantly... keep the show from being canceled!
Tap into some geeky joy with this celebration of the 25th Anniversary of Buffy The Vampire Slayer by Say Anything frontman Max Bemis (Moon Knight) and Marianna Ignazzi (An Unkindness of Ravens), and you'll be five by five!

Goodreads needs to update its synopsis of this, it’s not accurate at all 😅

Didn't care much for the Buffy & Willow half of the plot, but loved the Spike and Giles banter

[Erica · Rating 3 out of 5]

uhh...that synopsis is incorrect...anyway, 2.5 stars only because some of the writing is at least better than everything BOOM has put out in the Buffy revival comics (except the first few volumes so the drastic decline in quality was disappointing).

No clue what is going on. Seems like a filler episode in season 1 or 2 of Buffy.

[Elizabeth (Miss Eliza) · Rating 1 out of 5]

WTF was this even supposed to be? It was like Archie Comics meets Saved by the Bell. Also, this was definitely NOT the style of 1997, it was early nineties, very early.

I, at least, am unclear where this fits in with the the various continuities or how we got here. At $8, there was certainly enough space to establish…a premise?

This was like reading someone’s idea for a Buffy abridged series. There’s definitely some fun bits, but mostly it was either bland or had me rolling my eyes :/

I love Buffy. I love the artist of this comic. The artwork is so colorful and a delight to behold.

Um....I'm still not sure why this says it's by Max Bemis? It clearly isn't. What a weird description.

Good stories, though. Good art.

Don't tell me it's gonna be like Dawson's Creek if it's not gonna be like Dawson's Creek 😔
