This is a stand alone issue of the currently Season Eight of Buffy being done in comic book form. The first four issues were one storyline "The Long Way Home" written by series creator Joss Whedon. This issue is also written by Joss Whedon. It tells the story of one Slayer, she is never named in the story, that acts as a stand in for Buffy. To confuse her enemies there are fake Buffys out there, at least two - one in Italy (which explains an episode of Angel) and another one underground, fighting demons. This issue tells the story of the second stand in, the one fighting the demons underground.If this was an episode of the tv show I think it would rank with some of the classic episodes. It's that good. The real Buffy never even appears in this issue. This story tells what happens after this young girl gets her powers and becomes a slayer. I can't think of any higher praise that to say that it would have made an excellent episode of the television show.
