    Buffy The Vampire Slayer Season 11 #1 sets us on a new direction where there is just as much to lose this time around if not more when peace has been broken. No one ever said maintaining peace between two worlds was going to be that simple, and they are going to learn this the hard way pretty soon. Read Full Review

    After Buffy and Spike fight off a beast in the sewers to open the issue, the big action comes with the unexpected appearance of a Chinese Water Dragon. If this first issue is any indication, the shortened Season Eleven (only 12 issues) may be fairly hectic for the Scoobies. The first issue also teases a change in the United States Government's approach to magic (which I'm guessing will be one of the major themes of the season). On the plus side, it looks like we (and Buffy) are going to be thrown immediately into the action. On the downside, that means we're unlikely to get some of those fun individual issues mixed into the overall arc. Worth a look. Read Full Review

    Graphic Policy - Logan Dalton Nov 24, 2016

    In Buffy Season 11 #1, Christos Gage, Rebekah Isaacs, and Dan Jackson establish a more blockbuster action movie look and plotting while not giving the arcs of these beloved characters short shrift. The external and internal conflicts are deftly set up for the upcoming season with quips, brooding, and dragons a-plenty. Read Full Review

    ANGEL and BUFFY THE VAMPIRE SLAYER maintain the #1 and #2,respective, slots on my list of favorite television shows (ANGEL take first by a margin so narrow it is practically imperceptible...#3 is THE WEST WING if anyone cares).

    That being said, it should come as no surprise that I love the comic continuations of these characters.

    While not earths-shattering, I enjoyed the hell out of Season 11 #1. Having Christos Gage back as writer promises great things to come...for, while, the earlier comic seasons have been fun, they suffered from, sometimes drastically, uneven storytelling. Gage's runs (first during Season 9, with ANGEL & FAITH - my favorite run on either book so far - then with BtVS Season 10) have proven to more
