Buffy the Vampire Slayer/Angel

‘Angel’ flashback: ‘Redemption’ (2000) (Book review)

May 24, 2018May 10, 2021 John Hansen Books

Thus far in my re-read, I haven’t encountered another author who makes such an improvement between his first and second Buffyverse novel as Mel Odom. After the weak “Buffy” entry “Unnatural Selection,” he bounces back […]

‘Buffy’ flashback: ‘BTVS Classic’ Issues 47-55 (2002-03) (Comic book reviews)

May 20, 2018May 10, 2021 John Hansen Buffy the Vampire Slayer/Angel

“X-Men” veteran Scott Lobdell and “Deadpool” co-creator Fabian Nicieza become the third and final regular helmer(s) on “Buffy Classic,” following Andi Watson, who did uneven work while being handcuffed by continuity, and Tom Fassbender and […]

‘Angel’ flashback: ‘Not Forgotten’ (2000) (Book review)

May 16, 2018May 10, 2021 John Hansen Books

Although “Buffy” was generally a slightly better TV show than “Angel,” I remember the “Angel” novels being consistently better than the “Buffy” novels. Because “Angel” was a less serialized concept, it was easy for authors […]

‘Buffy’ flashback: ‘BTVS Classic’ Issues 39-46 and ‘Lost and Found’ (2001-02) (Comic book reviews)

May 14, 2018May 10, 2021 John Hansen Buffy the Vampire Slayer/Angel

Tom Fassbender and Jim Pascoe wrap up their run on “Buffy the Vampire Slayer Classic” with eight more issues that demonstrate their excellent knowledge of the TV show’s narrative and character arcs. They provide an […]

‘Buffy’ flashback: ‘The Book of Fours’ (2001) (Book review)

May 10, 2018May 10, 2021 John Hansen Books

Nancy Holder intriguingly expands on Slayer mythology and simultaneously scoffs at established continuity in “The Book of Fours” (April 2001). But even if the idea that it fits into Season 3’s TV arcs is laughable, […]

‘Buffy’ flashback: ‘BTVS Classic’ Issues 28-38 (2000-01) (Comic book reviews)

May 7, 2018May 10, 2021 John Hansen Buffy the Vampire Slayer/Angel

Writers Tom Fassbender and Jim Pascoe begin the second major run of consistent authorship on Dark Horse’s “Buffy the Vampire Slayer Classic” in steadier fashion than Andi Watson’s work early in the series. The new […]

‘Buffy’ flashback: ‘Revenant’ (2001) (Book review)

May 3, 2018May 10, 2021 John Hansen Books

“Revenant” (January 2001) is a big step up from Mel Odom’s “Buffy” debut, “Unnatural Selection,” although if memory serves, he’ll go on to do even better work on “Angel” books and “Buffy”/“Angel” crossovers later. Freed […]

‘Buffy’/‘Angel’ flashback: ‘Past Lives’ (2001) (Comic book review)

April 30, 2018May 10, 2021 John Hansen Buffy the Vampire Slayer/Angel

The “Angel” monthly writing team of Christopher Golden and Tom Sniegoski deliciously digs into Buffyverse lore and smoothly ties together the two titles with the comics’ first major crossover story. “Past Lives” (January-February 2001) goes […]

‘Buffy’ flashback: ‘Doomsday Deck’ (2000) (Book review)

April 26, 2018May 10, 2021 John Hansen Books

Diana G. Gallagher’s third “Buffy” entry – and her first in the young adult line – is a big step down from her first two, “Obsidian Fate” and “Prime Evil.” The 193-page “Doomsday Deck” (December […]

‘Angel’ flashback: ‘Angel’ Classic Issues 8-17 (2000-01) (Comic book reviews)

April 23, 2018May 10, 2021 John Hansen Buffy the Vampire Slayer/Angel

Since Tom Sniegoski joined Christopher Golden as a co-writer, and once Wesley joined Angel and Cordelia in the crime-solving trio, the “Angel” comic hit its stride. The back half of the Season 1 comics would […]
