Continuing the look into Buffy's life before Sunnydale, we take a detour with Dawn -- a mysterious package is accidently delivered to the younger Summers sister, and the enchanted teddy bear Hoopy wreaks havoc upon the life of the little ten year old. Intended to destroy the Slayer, the gift leads Dawn unwittingly into her first adventure, years before she'd ever be accepted into the Scooby Gang. It's the all Paul Lee issue! Paul Lee, creator of Lurid and longtime cover artist on the Buffy series, writes, draws, colors, letters, and provides both photo and art covers for this special, hilarious issue.
Dawn's characterization is quite winning in the story. The author/artist nicely seesaws back and forth to her status as an innocent little girl who likes to hold tea-parties with her stuffed animals and a Slayerette who enjoys kicking monster-butt on her videogame machine. Her dialogue perfectly captures her youth and innocence. I also like how the bear seems to respond to Dawn in a very honest way. His intentions are always good, and this garnishes reader sympathy toward his sad but funny end. Read Full Review
