The secrets of the Buffyverse are beginning to open, a chance to see some classic TV Buffy in action, and filled with fantastic Easter Eggs from start to finish, there's plenty here for Buffy fans.

Pinti is one of the better artists so far on the series, and the art is matching up to the quality of the storytelling. With the series now in full swing it's an exciting time to be a Buffy fan.

Well... That went nowhere. I mean, it wasn't a bad comic on a technical level. It just... wasn't worth it.
