Page 2: I can see a problem right away! First, where the hell are their parachutes? Second, is that a laser gun? Third, when did Chie die her hair blue and join the Slayers?
Page 4, Panel 3: There are three Buffies? Do, do the creeps know about this?
Page 5, Panel 2: You know, pointing out that someone operating “underground” is actually below sea level is a pretty dumb joke.
Page 6, Panel 1: And our first Whedon-ism! Thanks, Joss Whedon!
Page 7, Panel 2: Hahaha, sexism!
Page 7, Panel 3: Because he’s a guy in charge of stuff who has an eye patch, you see.
Page 8, Panel 2: Are those Predators?
Page 9, Panel 2: Hey Buff? What’s with the totally lame singlet? It looks dumb.
Page 10, Panel 2: I can’t tell, is that lady German?
Page 12, Panel 4: Help me I can’t stop floating!
Page 13, Panel 2: Wait, what are they doing that doesn’t mesh with America’s interests? I’m pretty sure the U.S. would be cool with killing vampires.
Page 14, Panel 1: Objection? Pretty sure destroying Sunnydale wasn’t actually Buffy’s idea? Also spoilers? Sorry.
Page 15, Panel 3: Do you expect a lot of bodies in a museum?
Page 17, Panel 1: Yum sandwich.
Page 18, Panel 2: Buh? Why is Dawn like 50-feet-tall? Does this make any sense?
Page 19, Panel 1: I don’t even know what “thricewise” means and already the word has no meaning from repetition.
Page 19, Panel 2: Welp! Have fun being super big!
Page 20, Panel 4: Oh, okay, so Buffy lives in Highlander now.
Page 21, Panel 2: Hang on hang on, what does muppet Odin look like? Can I see muppet Odin?
Page 22, Panel 3: Haha! It’s bitchy because she’s a lesbian!
Page 22, Panel 2: Oh no! Something shocking and easily recognizable from current pop culture!
Page 23, Panel 3: I like mustache guy. I hope he gets a name.
Page 23, Panel 6: Cheese? She wants cheese?
Page 24, Panel 1: Oh hey, that lady who continues to be a character despite the fact that she really isn’t important at all. AT ALL. Seriously, why are we still talking about AMY?!
Verdict: Okay, I’m not going to pretend that I don’t know what’s going on here. I admit that if I was itching for more story after Buffy ended, I would be pumped about this and the reasonably interesting developments here, with the Slayer strike teams and splintered friendships and all. But, I don’t know. Amy? Really? Amy? She has always been the inside joke that nobody really understood, and now she has some actual significance? I’m…not sure how I feel about that.
