Win Buffy Cazavampiros 2: No Tienes Futuro (Buffy La Octava Temporada, Colección Made In Hell #78) Edited By Joss Whedon Represented In Digital Copy

didn't like the art, but Vaughan's story didn't let me down, I absolutely loved this addition to the series, and it is probably because Faith was the center of it,

Faith was my favorite character for the TV show, She was not good but she was not evil she rode that line everyday of her life, When she went over the line, she didn't know what she could do to get back, so she embraced it, She is very human to me, Buffy didn't like her because she was her bizzarosuperman, or polar opposites yet the same, Yes, she did some awful things to Buffy but Buffy should understand the horror and power that comes with being a slayer,

No matter what Faith does, she is always in the shadow of the perfectblonde Vampire Slayer Buffy, She hates that so much but she also loves Buffy no matter what she does,



Giles asks Faith to do one last mission for him, for it could save the world, If she does it, she will get a free ticket to anywhere she wants and retire as a slayer, As Faith is a wanted criminal, she has been trying to get out of the country for a very long time, So she agrees.

And of course, because it is Faith and Whedon is the one that wrote this, things go terribly south and complications arise.


I love this volume, I liked that we can focus on other characters in the series, We do see Buffy, Willow and Xander and they do have things going on themselves, The focus was mostly on Faith though, and I appreciated that, I love that the big bad of Seasonis "Twilight", Im hooked! I wasnt crazy about the first volume, but this one was amazing! I absolutely LOVED how we got to explore Faiths character.
I loved the flashbacks to her childhood, how we got to see how she viewed her relationship with the Mayor and Buffy in season, and ultimately find out exactly what makes her tick.
I loved all of it!
Also is it just me or did they finally manage to make Dawn not a whiney, annoying character, but a threedimensional woman who makes mistakes and feels guilty about it! Still dont like Kennedy, though.
Enter Faith. Enterstars. “Hey I like me so kink but if you think Im going downtown on this chick you chose the wrong chosen one”

Ohhh Faith, how Ive missed you girl.




Here in Volumen II Faith steals the show completely, Our evil slayer in on a mission and its not just the pleasure of seeing her again, its the fact that she also makes you think about redemption, about being lonely, the necessity all of us have to be loved.
But, mostly, what her parts show us, is how difficult and tricky is to have power and use it for the good, All that amount of girls being powerful, almost invencible, out of danger and all Hell yes, women power! BUT were forgetting that not every woman is good, theres a lot of mean girls out there who doesnt deserve a gift like that.
. . fck, Im getting deep. Im out.

Two other parts here, not my favorites but we get to see Twilight for the first time and even if I dont know if I get what happens in the last third of this volume, it sets a wonderful continuation where lies and mistrust are the basis.
So what can I say on to the next!


Again, Highly recommend for Buffy fans

Original Read:Fans of the popular Buffy the Vampire Slayer show were crushed when the series was canceled after the seventh season.
Joss Whedon, the series' creator and writer of a number of popular comic books, decided that he would move on with the story by presenting an eighth season in a graphic novel format.
This is the second volume

of the series, which presents what would be considered a second episode,

Fans will be thrilled to see that the rebellious slayer Faith comes to the fore in this tale when she is contacted by Giles in order to take out another slayer that has turned bad.
Giles has promised to give Faith a whole new identity in order to avoid the authorities in their search to bring her in for all of her past crimes.
The hope is to protect Buffy from a slayer of lower British nobility who seems to have come under the sway of a wizard with a dark outlook on the slayers.


It is clear that the two of them are hoping to take over the new slayers, forming an empire of superwomen to rule the world.
To give you an idea of the evil of these to, you should know that they bring in other slayers for the good lady to hunt down and kill.


Faith finds comfort in her acceptance with the new slayer since she has always felt overshadowed by Buffy and mistreated by the whole Scooby gang.


Bstories include Willow sorting through some decisions Buffy has made in the previous episode that make her question the slayers' actions and Dawn coming to terms with growing up both into adulthood and her recent curse of giantism.


Like the television show, the graphic novel does a great job of exploring the characters and questioning the real definitions of good and evil.
The illustrations do a great job of capturing the appearances of familiar charactrs, I read this maybe ten years or more ago, but now the fam has watched the whole series, and we told them season eight picks up right where season seven left off so I will read into it because all of season eight is lying around here and I cant stand not participating in what they are talking about, so here I go.
The first volume was to me surprisingly not great as it was written by Joss and he is clearly one of the best writers of sf on tv and film.
This second one is better, done by his buddy and one of the best writers of comics of all time, Brian Vaughn, who chooses right away to write about Faith, who takes on a rogue slayer named Gigi with the help of Giles That Faith comes from Clevelandwhere Vaughn is frommade me smile.


Everything here about Faith and her struggles between good and evil is good and the snarky Vaughn dialogue especially re: Faith is perfect for her and the Buffyverse, just quip after quip.
Its just a guest shot so Vaughns heart may not be really deeply into it, but his writing moves my,story rating to, overcoming for the moment my not loving the art in the series, I am a fan of Willow and Kennedy so I am good seeing them still together in their part, I like seeing the XanderDawn relationship developing,
The second volume of Seasonbreaks away from the emerging threat of Twilight to focus on another returning character: Faith, Brian K. Vaughan takes up the writing duties for a fourissue arc, Apparently still on her quest for redemption and selfacceptance, Faith is contacted by a similarly disenfranchised Giles and offered a deal, If she can get close to and take out a rogue Slayer that runs in British high society, he will provide her the resources to travel anywhere she wants to go in order to get away from vampires and hellmouths.


Whedon returns to write the last story in the volume, a oneshot that is almost entirely composed of foundation for future issues, with a fight scene thrown in for flavor.
Buffy and Willow confront a demon to get more information on Twilight, and address some of the growing discord between the two of them.
Meanwhile, the reader learns a little bit more about Dawns giantess predicament,

The screentocomic format works a lot better in this volume, and Vaughans writing is a match for Whedons, Jeantys illustrations still tread a nice line between photorealism and an original take on the characers, Still, this volume feels very setupheavy, We get a little villainous monologue at the end that moves things forward, but beyond that, this volume is still in the territory of establishing characters and foreshadowing conflicts, and so I never got too worked up while reading it.
Faiths undercover mission, interplay with Gigi, and resulting alliance with Giles are all interesting, but happen very quickly, Whedons story at the end is diverting, but not particularly substantial,

That being said, I can see the strands being drawn together, I think that once I read the next few volumes and the main story arc finally gets going, Ill appreciate this volume and the previous volume a little more.
Im still not particularly impressed with Seasonas standalone stories up to this point, but I'm getting a sense of the bigger picture.
