5.0 out of 5 stars Nicely wraps up Dawn's curse arc, May 10, 2009

This is probably my favorite standalone issue since BUFFY Season 8 drifted away from long arc to single issue stories. It doesn't make me want things to stay on the single-issue shtick, but it is at least better than what we've been getting. There really are two reasons that this issue did more for me than others. First, Buffy is at the center of the story, instead of one of the peripheral characters. Second, it wraps up a story arc that has existed since BUFFY Season 8 started.

We previously had learned that Dawn had been cursed by a Thricewise after he learned that she had slept with his college roommate. (BTW, love how they mixed the ultra magical with the ûber mundane). She first became a giant and then transformed into a centaur. In this issue she hits her third transformation: she becomes a living doll. And is collected by a Gepetto-like character and kept with his other dolls. With an intervention by Andrew, who talks to the Thricewise Ken, Dawn recovers her humanity and is set for further adventures as just a regular girl. A girl with issues to work out with her sister.
