Summary: NO FUTURE FOR BUFFY
Comment: that should be the name of this as the show was cancelled twice. Putting it in to print doesnt make it nay better thats for sure. just more detail of the same tired pc terrible story lines. The audience and fans have moved on to something better. Its time for the publishers and video people to do the same. Let it stay dead.

Summary: Faithful fun
Comment: Season 8 continues with a sizeable story about Faith and Giles, which were two of my favorite Buffy characters. In some ways, I enjoyed Faith's character development on Angel more than I did on Buffy, as she became as tormented as Angel about who she is and what she is to become. This story takes us up to date with her and both her self-doubt and everyone else's doubt about who she is and whose side she fights on.
We also get up to date on the strange occurences with Dawn and why she is giant sized while we dig deeper into Willows memories of Tara and how she is trying to protect Kennedy from the same fate.
While these stories are not as drawn out and detailed as the tv series was, it is a good fix and really does allow you to be drawn into Buffy's world once again. The characters and the dialogue are as sharp as ever in this second installation of season 8.

Summary: Graphic SF Reader
Comment: Upper class slayer queen clash.
While Buffy stresses about the creepy Twilight (who looks like either Kobra Commander or Marvel's Eel, or a combination), along with her giant daughter, Giles has a plan.
An undercover mission for Faith as an English debutante of all things, to take out a rogue Slayer who want's Buffy's title.
While not as good as the first volume, Vaughan still does a pretty serviceable job. The artwork is a little shakier in this volume than in the first, I think.

Summary: "Faith-full" !
Comment: This is volume 2 of season 8 of Buffy, starting with "Buffy the Vampire Slayer - The Long Way Home". If this is your first buy of Buffy Cartoons I recommend to get volume 1 first. If you are back for more read on...
Faith... the bad slayer is hired to do a dirty job for Giles. It's a very good story, with the same excellent art as the first volume.
Proos:
* Good story
* Good art
* Faithfull reunion with Faith as we know her from the tvseries
Cons:
* It's about 3/5 about Faith and just 2/3 about Buffy. If you don't like Faith, this might be disappointing. If you plan to follow the story arc continuing in volume 3 don't miss out though.
Worth 5 stars... Five-by-five Faith!

Summary: Season 8 Going Great
Comment: Episodes 6-9 continue in "No Future for You". They continue the threads of the earlier five episodes and in the way we would expect from Joss Whedon. Here we find out what Faith and Giles have been up to as well as more about Willow's private life and Dawn's indiscretions. Still not enough about Xander and Buffy when I'm so used to them, especially Buffy, being the center of the show. But given that a couple thousand slayers have been triggered the focus should be spread out. Can't wait for the third volume.

Editorial Reviews:

Eisner award-winning writer Brian K. Vaughan (Y: The Last Man, Ex Machina) tackles Joss Whedon's Buffy the Vampire Slayer Season Eight with "No Future for You." When a rogue debutant Slayer begins to use her power for evil, Giles is forced to recruit the rebellious Faith, who isn't exactly known for her good deeds. Giles offers Faith a clean slate if she can stop this snooty Slayer from wreaking total havoc - that is, if Buffy doesn't beat her to it. Georges Jeanty (The American Way) remains at the top of his game as series artist, and Whedon stays on as "Executive Producer" in this direct follow-up to Season Seven of the smash-hit TV series.
