I'm a big Spike fan so I really enjoyed this book. Spike has always been my favorite vampire, and I'm sure some teens are fans as well. I wouldn't recommend this book to Twilight fans- it makes fun of vampires that "twinkle".

Now, I think I’ve made it pretty clear in the past that I love Spike. He is my absolute favorite Buffy/Angel character. But that doesn’t mean I’ll automatically love anything that comes out pertaining to my beloved fantasy vampire boyfriend. However, in this case, I do. It’s awesome! The storylines and the artwork are fantastic. Not perfect, mind you, but damn near. The only problem I had with it is Drusilla. She didn’t look like Drusilla at all, but at least she was in the story. I love that crazy bitch. Plus, there was Groo, the dragon and Willow. Yay! Since I’ve read the comics out of order I have no idea who Beck and Betta George are though I quite like them and will need to get up to speed on their place in the Buffyverse. Ok, I did read a bit about Betta George in Angel: After the Fall, but I still don’t know how he came into the Big Picture. No worries. I’ll get to all of the comics sooner or later. One day I’ll have them all in my personal collection. Until then thank goodness for the library! Especially mine since I suggested the purchase and they actually bought it. To my local Buffy/Angel friends: you’re welcome. To my library: you rock!

A good story, with plenty of implications for the Buffyverse world. I've come to enjoy Spike's little gang (especially Beck), but unfortunately they didn't survive the move to Dark Horse.
The art was decent. Some of the characters weren't too close to their screen versions - Dru and Lilah in

The art work was the only thing I enjoyed. The artist really captured Spike and Lorne. However the puppet plot isn’t original and the dialogue was very cheesy.
