Buffy the Vampire Slayer Season Nine, Volume 3: Guarded by Drew Z. Greenberg, Jane Espenson, Andrew Chambliss, Joss Whedon
2.0

Gah this is a weak one. Bringing back Kennedy in the boringest way possible? Blech. The original characters are the best part. I like Eldre Koh, and I certainly hope they expand on his backstory which has the potential to be interesting. And Dowling is great but underutilized in this volume. Also TAKE THE DAMN CHECK, BUFFY. Even if you quit now, take the check!

I don’t understand the Billy story. He just decides to be a Slayer so he is? Also seems like a severely missed opportunity to put a trans or non-binary spin on the gendered nature of the Slayer mythos.
