‘Buffy’ flashback: ‘The High School Years’ (2017) (Comic book reviews)

April 19, 2019May 7, 2021 John Hansen Buffy the Vampire Slayer/Angel

In my review of the first two installments of “Buffy: The High School Years” – “Freaks and Geeks” and “Glutton for Punishment” (both from 2016) – I noted that they seemed to be aimed at […]

‘Angel & Faith’ flashback: Season 10, Issues 21-25 (2015-16) (Comic book reviews)

April 16, 2019May 7, 2021 John Hansen Buffy the Vampire Slayer/Angel

“Angel & Faith” wraps Season 10 with the five-part “A Tale of Two Families” (Issues 21-25, December 2015-April 2016), which affirms the themes I’ve remarked on in previous posts. A makeshift family has formed around […]

‘Angel & Faith’ flashback: Season 10, Issues 11-20 (2015) (Comic book reviews)

April 12, 2019May 7, 2021 John Hansen Buffy the Vampire Slayer/Angel

At the end of Issue 15, Fred asks Angel: “Can we call ourselves Angel Investigations?” But, nostalgia aside, writer Victor Gischler’s “Angel & Faith” Season 10 isn’t about the re-forming of the detective agency, but […]

‘Angel & Faith’ flashback: Season 10, Issues 1-10 (2014-15) (Comic book reviews)

April 9, 2019May 7, 2021 John Hansen Buffy the Vampire Slayer/Angel

“Angel & Faith” Season 10 should really be called “Angel. And Faith,” at least for the first 10 issues. The co-leads have completely different story arcs, although both benefit from the moodier, noir-style look from […]

‘Buffy’ flashback: Season 10, Issues 21-30 and ‘Where Are They Now?’ (2015-16) (Comic book reviews)

April 5, 2019May 7, 2021 John Hansen Buffy the Vampire Slayer/Angel

Season 10 started with Buffy and the gang being modest about their callings, and it ends with them realizing the mature response is to embrace their callings, because the world will be worse off they […]

‘Spike’ flashback: ‘Into the Light’ (2014) (Comic book review)

April 2, 2019May 7, 2021 John Hansen Buffy the Vampire Slayer/Angel

Over in the pages of Season 10, things are going well in Buffy and Spike’s relationship, so in true “Buffy” fashion, it’s time to throw a monkey wrench into the mix. It comes in the […]

‘Buffy’ flashback: Season 10, Issues 11-20 (2015) (Comic book reviews)

March 29, 2019May 7, 2021 John Hansen Buffy the Vampire Slayer/Angel

I gave some leeway to the start of “Buffy” Season 10, allowing writer Christos Gage to get up to speed. But the middle batch continues to be uneven, showing that he’s not quite as good as Andrew […]

‘Buffy’ flashback: Season 10, Issues 1-10 (2014) (Comic book reviews)

March 26, 2019May 7, 2021 John Hansen Buffy the Vampire Slayer/Angel

After their strong run on “Angel & Faith” Season 9, writer Christos Gage and artist Rebekah Isaacs switch over to “Buffy” for the 30-issue Season 10. Off the bat, the quality of their work drops, […]

‘Angel & Faith’ flashback: Season 9, Issues 21-25 (2013) (Comic book reviews)

March 19, 2019May 7, 2021 John Hansen Buffy the Vampire Slayer/Angel

“Angel & Faith” Season 9 comes to an epic conclusion that’s not quite as great as the end of “Buffy” Season 9, but still pretty darn good, especially with the way it charts a new […]
