Buffy the Vampire Slayer: Retreat by Jane Espenson, Joss Whedon
2.0

This was a rather messy and not very fun volume.

Buffy and the gang head over to where Oz and his wife and Baby are. Magic gets sucked away from Willow and the Slayers now must face Twlight and his goons till they all die! It's a big battle to the death but who will come out victorious?

Good: There's a fun little issue that's throwback to the show where we get to see Andrew do his interviews with everyone and that issue is a lot of fun.

Bad: The rest is messy, it's not funny, the stuff with Oz couldn't be more boring, and I didn't really care about the epic battle. Also, the art looked really ugly here and it's really starting to become harder and harder to tell who is who.

Overall, I wanted to like this, but I didn't much. Besides the one issue and a few cool moments, this was pretty meh. A 2 out of 5.
