    I don't remember where Faith is (probably fisticuffs), but Giles and Buffy get a tender reunion moment where they both acknowledge that they've become grownups and peers. Which Buffy has heard before, but she's always been one for extra dollops of affirmation. Jeanty turns in one of his top attempts at character recognition, losing the details as always in widescreen but zooming in for several effective close-ups. I'd actually like to learn more about Angel's (and Buffy's) god-like son, and I'm worried that solving the Hellmouth/Seed riddle might lead to shutting down the Slayer Army again, but this issue is balls out rushing to the finale, and it's a rollercoaster of fun!

    In the end, on it’s own this book is worth checking out for Buffy fans, but if you’re looking for something new, pick-up the last few issues and become a Buffy fan today. Read Full Review

    Georges Jeanty also seems to be weakening under the strain of putting "Last Gleaming" to rest. The quality of draftsmanship is weaker than in previous issues, and the level of detail fluctuates from page to page. "Last Gleaming" is still poised for a great finish if the team can ever push this exposition out of the way. This arc is proving that even Whedon isn't infallible on the series. Hopefully it will offer some lessons that can be applied to the pacing, structure, and presentation of Season 9. Read Full Review
