Book 7 is actually series 1-5 of the Buffy the Vampire Slayer season 8 graphic novels
Yes. I am a nerd.
Finished - Throughout February
So, I'm counting 5 of these babies as one book. I still have 3 to read from the series, but the library may not have them, so it will be a while before I get to them.
Basically, I love Buffy. Some friends tried to get Aaron and I to watch this series a few years ago, and we reluctantly agreed. It took me a few episodes to get into it, and in fact, after the first season, wasn't sure what I thought. But, I'm a sucker for television, and I got sucked in. Throughout the 7 seasons, there were some ups and downs, but even in my least favorite season (can we say RILEY anybody?) there were some standout episodes. The whole show was really well written, humorous, silly, but also serious at times.
Somewhat recently, I found out there was a whole continuation of the series in a set of graphic novels, which is considered Season 8. Basically, everything there is to love about Buffy on-screen is translated into the books and given a much more ambitious story line. The writers manage to capture the characters, their lingo and mannerisms quite well, and they've been pretty fun to read so far.
I suppose I don't have much to say on these, other than, if you liked the series, you'll like these books.
And with that, nerd signing off.
Overall: Good.
