Buffy Season 8 from Dark Horse

Like many, I thought "Buffy the Vampire Slayer" looked pretty silly when it was originally on the air. Eventually though, a coworker bullied me into borrowing her DVD collection and I finally became privy to the fact that it was one of the greatest television shows ever, and it's creator Joss Whedon is a genius. Just when fans were finally coming to terms with the fact the show was gone forever, Dark Horse Comics gives us one of the coolest treats ever with Buffy Season 8.
Why is this comic so great? Well, aside from picking up where the show left off and showing us the continuing adventures of Buffy and the rest of the Scoobies, and amazing painted covers by Jo Chen, the writers who originally worked on the show are working on the comic.
That's right, Joss Whedon is still the Executive Producer, and the current story arc is written by Jane Espenson, who penned many a great Buffy episode and is currently working on a little show called "Battlestar Galactica".
Seriously, it doesn't get much better than this, the latest issue has Sunnydale alum, turned Vampire, Harmony as the star of her own MTV reality series! There is now an army of slayers working in squads across the globe, and all of your favorite supporting players have made apperances, even Dracula!
In just 21 issues, Buffy has been to Japan, traveled into the future, tussled with the fallen Slayer Faith, got into a big old fight with Giles, and even had time for a lesbian affair (he he!). If you're one of those people who "doesn't read comics" don't sweat it, every 5 issues is collected into a graphic novel so you can just get those and save yourself the monthly trips to the comic store. If you never watched Buffy, do yourself a favor, after slapping yourself in the face for such a grevious transgression, go Netflix all 7 seven seasons right now. If you watched the show, go read Buffy season 8. If you are one of those Buffy fans who says- "I like having the show end when it ended, and I like to remember it just like that" Slap yourself in the face twice! What the heck is wrong with you!? Buffy Season 8 rocks!
