Buffy The Vampire Slayer Season Nine, Volume 5: The Core
by Andrew Chambliss, Joss Whedon
The end of season 9! And it ends...pretty good!
So buffy and willow are backstabbed pretty bad by their bestie, Xander. In doing so it all comes down to trying to restore the magic to the world so that way Dawn doesn't disappear. In doing so Buffy comes head to head with a slayer who becomes more than she could handle, Willow might be giving birth to magic once more, and Xander tries his best to get redemption. How will it all end?
Good: The art still stays pretty good. I think the pacing was well done. Felt like a rush of a season final with huge stakes. With Buffy, never know if a main hero might die so it's there. The big moments count and we do lose and gain new plotlines.
Bad: The rush of the season final ends it with new status quo that feels a bit safe. Also, last issue feels out of place and more of a middle of the season episodes.
Overall, good but not great, just like all of season 9. Least not terrible, that's always a plus. A 3 out of 5.
