You're invited to the sickest party in Sunnydale. DJs will be mixing up somebody- moving grooves, smart drinks will be available at the bar, and we'll be giving up a virgin sacrifice for the blood goddess. An old friend of Spike is in town, and he's getting every teenager in Sunnydale to trip the light fantastic at some very special, underground raves. He has a plan that could mean big things for vampires everywhere, and Spike agrees to help him out. Everyone who is anyone is rolling at these after-hour parties, including a whole posse of vampires. Buffy and the Scooby gang are going out and getting down to put an end to what's become a euphoric feeding frenzy for some of the baddest baddies in town.

This review is from: Buffy the Vampire Slayer: Creatures of Habit (Paperback)

This book was put out in a different format. Mostly story line, but a few pictures. I absolutely loved it, and hope more will be coming. So much better than the comics, where there are just a million pictures of monsters, and almost no story. Glad to see Spike taking a more prominent role. Any story with Spike (or Angel) is worth a look, and this is one of the better ones.

This review is from: Buffy the Vampire Slayer Vol. 10: Out of the Woodwork (Paperback)

Everyone has a little bug problem or two during the summer. Ants in the kitchen, wasps in the picnic, they are all part of the grand scheme of things. Ancient creatures trying to get on in a world full of Raid-bearing humans. It only figures, though, that if Buffy were going to have an infestation problem they would be larger than life and twice as nasty. Welcome to the summer of Buffy's fourth season.

Buffy has already had one confrontation with these bad news bugs during the term. She and Riley barely managed to stop the infestation and they thought they had solved the problem. But, that was then, and this is now. When the ghost of a vagrant killed by a vampire puts Riley into a coma, Buffy is back on her own, and worried to distraction. While she desperately tries to hunt down the cause of the ghosts anger the bugs show up - right in the middle of Giles date with a beautiful librarian. Giles loses and Rebecca the cataloger disappears.

Now both Buffy and Giles are at their wits end. Fortunately, the rest of the gang is there to pitch in. Even Spike tries to do his part. Tara and Willow find out that the insects are Urukhai, cheerfully bent on the conquest of the earth. Even as the magical duo start to work on supernatural insecticide, it is obvious that the team is in for a tough struggle. To or three really bad vampires are one thing, but thousands of superbugs the size of Volkswagens is an entirely different challenge.

This is the perfect summer graphic comic. Lots of fiend bashing, suspense, and, if you count Giles, even some romance. Fassbender and Pascoe once again turn out a potboiler, and Richards and Pimentel get it down beautifully on glossy paper. Now you can worry about things that go 'chitter' in the night.

4.0 out of 5 stars Intriguing Buffy tale..., July 15, 2002

This review is from: Buffy the Vampire Slayer: Creatures of Habit (Paperback)

This is an an intriguing, well written Buffy novella by the soon to be former creative team of the Buffy comic book.

There's a new vamp in town, and he's got a plan to get the ultimate blood high. add to this the undercurrents of subplot from the jsut-finished sxith season of the tv show, and this is an enjoyable quick read. FYI: There is also a sequel to this story: issue #46 of the ongoing Buffy comic series.
