Product Description
The definitive comics collection of all things Buffy starts here. This first massive volume begins at the beginning - The Origin, a faithful adaptation of creator Joss Whedon's original screenplay for the film that started it all. The newly-chosen slayer's road to Sunnydale continues in Viva Las Buffy and Slayer, Interrupted. Next, high school, the Scoobies and an English librarian lead the way into Season One continuity. Plus, The Goon creator Eric Powell provides pencils to "All's Fair," featuring Spike and Drusilla at the 1933 World's Fair.

 Pre Buffy the Series January 5, 2009
A. G. Sheffer (Dover, PA United States)
The stories that fill in what happened to Buffy before Sunnydale are great. It is also really neat to see Dawn written in before she existed in the buffy verse.
Great fun for those who miss Buffy October 30, 2008
Satia Renee Testman (Altanta GA USA)
I definitely enjoyed this more than I thought I would. I didn't especially like the Spike and Dru story, which was surprising, and I liked the Dawn story more than I had thought I would. But more than that, I liked how the comic filled in some of the narrative holes created in the transition from movie to television show. I haven't decided if I'll buy the other Omnibus editions. I'm glad I went ahead and indulged in this one.
 SO much better than season 8! August 16, 2008

This is so much better than the Season 8 comics, I can't wait to see the next volumes. It's actually got more plot and more said and more substance. It's interesting with better storylines, filling in the blanks we always wanted filled in. I loved seeing Angel (and Whistler!), Wesley, Giles, and whoa, Giles' Dad! Even the artwork was infinitely better, it wasn't like the other ones where it was all about the skin. This was more sophisticated and just...awesome. Spike's story was kind of boring, as was the Vegas part, but after that, everything picked up and it was stuff we actually cared about. This is a must-read for Buffy-fans, it's stuff that was mentioned in passing in the show but never elaborated on, until this. I'm so glad I found it!
Great way to get the early Buffy history! May 1, 2008

With a faithful adaptation of Joss Whedon's ORIGINAL screenplay for Buffy the Vampire Slayer (the movie), a story about the immediate after effects where Buffy runs away to Las Vegas, as well as giving us the story about her sojourn in the mental institution, we're finally given a good glimpse into what forces shaped the Buffy we grew to know and love in the first season of the series. Of course, we're also treated to a cute story featuring Dawn (because although she wasn't *really* there at the time, Buffy REMEMBERED her as being there), and we see Spike and Dru at the world's fair in 1933. All in all, a great collection of stories; a bit pricey, perhaps, but well worth the time to read - and practically a must-have for any serious B:tVS fan.
