"Any Buffy fan is going to be stoked about this new series, Season 11, and a new story arc of awesomeness!"-ComicWow TV
This reads like a stake through the heart for emotional punch. This is going to take some time to recover from. I haven't seen the heroes this down in a long time. If you think things couldn't get worse for the heroes, they just got worse. Beautifully heartbreaking! Recommended. Read Full Review

This issue also undermines the only time recently that they *have* taken initiative; all of their clever planning and action last issue is rendered moot when what they learned is simply made public knowledge. (And I'm still unsure about the logic of using detainees to manufacture the magic draining widgets, rather than anyone else in the world). Maybe it's a more nuanced threat this time around, but it's not very engaging to wat more
