WrensReads Review:
This was the best one.
Like I loved it so much.
This is before Buffy goes to Sunnydale. And Dawn is apart of this even though you don’t know about her until season 05. I absolutely love that they kept her as a part of Buffy’s life because she is her sister and Buffy has all these memories with Dawn in them anyway.
You get three different stories of how everyone’s life were before they went to Sunnydale: Buffy’s, Angel’s and Giles’ stories. Angel, just doing his normal righting-his-wrongs, Buffy dealing with her family falling apart and becoming who she is without a guide, and Giles figuring out if he wants to be a Watcher or not.
The witty-banter is so strong in this book. The story and language feels so much like Joss Whedon’s original show that I couldn’t keep from smiling while reading this graphic novel.
