could have gotten, given the circumstances It does what it needs to do, and satisfies just as much as minimally needed The art is pretty meh at times, and while I understand bringing Jeanty back for sentimental reasons, Isaacs should have finished out the series, mainly for quality reasons, if we re being honest My personal feelings about the treatment, or lack of, towards Fred are seething, but I won t let that affect this review Just know I m pissed with how they ve decided to wrap up, or blatantly ignore, her character arc, so other fans of the character should go in...Wow Not the ending Dark Horse s Buffyverse needed or deserved I agree with others that everything felt way too rushed It seems like in his cockiness Whedon brought characters back and changed character relationships without rhyme or reason and slapped a completely lackluster plot on the whole thing to get some kind of a conclusion, and all because he wanted to be the one to finish the series It honestly felt like he either didn t care about his characters any or that he just didn t bothe Wow Not the ending Dark Horse s Buffyverse needed or deserved I agree with others that everything felt way too rushed It

Illyria seriously could ve beat a small army of second rate demons on her own, the same way she cleaned house with Wolfram Harts in the alley during After the Fall without pushing herself into a portal...This review has been hidden because it contains spoilers To view it, click here 5 Nice to see how Buffy and the game have been doing Sad that Buffy and Spike broke up again Interesting that Dawn and Xander now have a baby Hope that they will be able to stop Harth.Started a little slow, but by the halfway point I was hooked This was a great conclusion to the comic series, although I m also devastated there won t beI m very much not a fan of the art style though I found it really hard to connect to the characters because of it, but the dialogue was fantastic.ughSo apparently Dark Horse has lost the rights to Whedon properties which doesn t really explain No Power in the Verse since that had a cliffhanger suggesting that they expected to write , but it does explain this mess of a comic I picked this comic up because it s the last one and promised to end the Fray story, although it s only doing that along with all the other stories they had going so it felt almost like an afterthought This is a conclusion to Fray, Buffy the Vampire Slayer, and Ange So apparently Dark Horse has lost the rights to Whedon properties which doesn t really explain No Power in the Verse since

post television comic seasons have certainly had their ups and downs, but the last couple were pretty great I don t know what happened to Georges Jeanty s art since he was last on the book, but
