Buffy The Vampire Slayer

Took me awhile to read this issue because I felt death coming to my favorite girl.

Then the last page shows up, and dumb George Michael pops into my head. “Cuz I gotta have faith.”

Brian K. Vaughn wraps it up here as Faith takes on the Lady G. and her wee-yatch boyfriend Roden with the help of Giles.

It all ends well, for me at least, and we see a new friendship born that was long overdue.

Faith needed stability, and Giles needed someone to guide.

A match made in slayer heaven, right? Vaughn’s recap of the TV show with Faith’s past history with the mayor was brilliant to start off with, and captures the needs of the character while pushing her forward to the future.

And Buffy finally gets a hint that she’s a selfish bee-yatch sometimes, and takes a breather. The best issue of Season 8 so far, and even Georges Jeanty kicks it up a notch with the likeness of Giles and Richard making the story more dramatic and believable.

I’m very happy that it was Faith that stole the show for Season 8… well, so far. I have faith that more great stories in the Buffyverse are on their way.
