Description
Moving to a new school and making new friends will create enough anxiety for any teenage girl. But when you're Buffy Summers, a vampire slayer -- the Chosen One (with all that entails) -- building a new life can be overwhelming. A group of nerdy vampires, shunned by their cooler brethren, decide to climb the vampire social ladder by taking out the Slayer. They play on Buffy's insecurities, wearing her down until she is full-on distracted by the mental warfare. But in addition to her Watcher, Giles, this Slayer has a couple of new friends, Willow and Xander, to cheer her on... except, of course, when they're not getting along.

I saw this cover art and was immediately drawn to it. Plus, who diesn't love Buffy?!?! Upon reading this series debut though, I wasn't very impressed. The graphics are more anime, I wanted more along the lines of the cover. Plus... I think I'm a little too old to be reading about this level of high

school drama. Granted it was cool to see Giles and Buffy and Willow and the whole gang in a new storyline, but I don't know if I liked it enough to follow it up with the next in the series. We'll see. Show Less

I picked this up because I enjoyed the cover and the title. Also, it came with the 2nd book and was only $5.50.
What I liked: I thought the story was nice. Kind of cliche, boring and predictable, but it was nice. The plot was cool, even if it was done before in Season 4 Ep 1 like people in other
What I didn't like: This reminded me of season 1 of Buffy and to me that season is the worst. Very monster of the week, Willow is extremely pathetic, and Xander is the toolest of toolsville. The artwork was bad.
Artwork: Not the greatest. While it was neatly drawn and clean, it reminded me of a manga. Xander looked like Tuxedo Mask from Sailor Moon. I wasn't here for it.
