Okay! Things are different and it’s interesting and I’m here for it. It’s like an alternate dimension Buffy & the Scoobies, and the character differences off-the-bat are fascinating to see— a nicer Cordy, a more self-assured Willow, a more insecure Xander, Anya proprietor and “Sweden” of the Magic Box, and Master Vampire Drusilla. It’s many of these characters starting at points they grew to in the original series, but it’s nice to get it straight off, feels more like a reboot and less like a rehash.

Mora’s artwork is great, especially on characters like Cordelia, Willow & Xander. His one weak spot is Anya, who I definitely mistook for Buffy at first.
