It feels like the story is really heating up here, the big bad is about to be revealed, and readers will finally get a good idea of the overall story arc of the series. As long as these reveals aren't dragged out too much longer then this is shaping up to be one of the best story arcs of the comics so far. This issue really captures the TV characters brilliantly, a combination of good writing and great art really does leave this issue feeling like an episode of the TV series. Read Full Review

The mix of characters and the momentum from the last story arc push this issue forward. We learn just enough about what's coming to keep our interest. Any time Ethan Rayne shows up, you know we're in for an interesting adventure. Read Full Review
Buffy the Vampire Slayer #26 suffers from some unevenness. The jokes don't all land and once again, we are trying to balance too many character arcs. I am not a dummy, nor is anyone reading this book and yet, it always feels like we need a flow chart to keep up with what is going on.

Not a bad issue, but I am reading this out of obligation now rather than actually enjoying it.
