Editor's Notes and Comments:
Product Description:
Eisner award-winning writer Brian K. Vaughan (Y: The Last Man, Ex Machina) tackles Joss Whedon's Buffy the Vampire Slayer Season Eight with 'No Future for You.' When a rogue debutant Slayer begins to use her power for evil, Giles is forced to recruit the rebellious Faith, who isn't exactly known for her good deeds. Giles offers Faith a clean slate if she can stop this snooty Slayer from wreaking total havoc - that is, if Buffy doesn't beat her to it. Georges Jeanty (The American Way) remains at the top of his game as series artist, and Whedon stays on as 'Executive Producer' in this direct follow-up to Season Seven of the smash-hit TV series.

For me, this is the best one of the Buffy Season 8 so far. I love the stories with Faith and that no matter how good Faith's intentions are, she always ends up with her face meeting Buffy's fist. I also love the idea that Giles and Faith will team up in the future to protect Buffy from those things that she just shouldn't need to deal with.

Buffy was canceled twice because the show was terrible and the audience had long since moved on to something better. Not even novels can save this diminished franchise. The novel another example of why the show was cancelled. Poor ideas lead to a poor story. Poor story leads to page after page of nonsense. Buffy is bad. Just avoid it

Season 8 continues with a sizeable story about Faith and Giles, which were two of my favorite Buffy characters. In some ways, I enjoyed Faith's character development on Angel more than I did on Buffy, as she became as tormented as Angel about who she is and what she is to become. This story takes us up to date with her and both her self-doubt and everyone else's doubt about who she is and whose side she fights on.
We also get up to date on the strange occurences with Dawn and why she is giant sized while we dig deeper into Willows memories of Tara and how she is trying to protect Kennedy from the same fate.
While these stories are not as drawn out and detailed as the tv series was, it is a good fix and really does allow you to be drawn into Buffy's world once again. The characters and the dialogue are as sharp as ever in this second installation of season 8.

Upper class slayer queen clash.
While Buffy stresses about the creepy Twilight (who looks like either Kobra Commander or Marvel's Eel, or a combination), along with her giant daughter, Giles has a plan.
An undercover mission for Faith as an English debutante of all things, to take out a rogue Slayer who want's Buffy's title.
While not as good as the very first volume, Vaughan still does a pretty serviceable job. The artwork is a little shakier in this volume than in the first, I think.

This is volume 2 of season 8 of Buffy, starting with "Buffy the Vampire Slayer - The Long Way Home". If this is your very first buy of Buffy Cartoons I recommend to get volume 1 first. If you are back for more read on...
Faith... the bad slayer is hired to do a dirty job for Giles. It's a very good story, with the same excellent art as the very first volume.
Proos:
* Good story
* Good art
* Faithfull reunion with Faith as we know her from the tvseries
Cons:
* It's about 3/5 about Faith and just 2/3 about Buffy. If you don't like Faith, this might be disappointing. If you plan to follow the story arc continuing in volume 3 don't miss out though.
Worth 5 stars... Five-by-five Faith!
