The more I read of season 10, the more I think Christos Gage is the perfect successor to Joss Whedon for writing Buffy books. It doesn't hurt that Spike and Andrew, both favorites of mine, are featured heavily this season. I was excited to see that Xander himself, Nicholas Brendan,co-wrote the first 3 chapters.
There was a lot of therapy in this volume, which I'm pretty sure I complained about when reviewing a different Buffy comic, but darned if these guys don't need to be knocked over the head with some relationship therapy, and maybe, just maybe, some happiness will come out of it.
One of the villains was super gross. I'm hoping his little stint is over.
This may just be my favorite season yet, since they moved from TV to comic.… (mais)

This series commits to the "wheels" in the title by continuing the road trip down the East Coast in the first volume with a cross-country jaunt along I-10 through the American South. As with the first volume, the detours in the middle in Mobile, New Orleans, and Phoenix are more interesting than the final meet-up with a new witch in California.

While the witchy trio do some nice bickering and bonding along the way, the ride seemed a little bumpier with underdeveloped elements and herky-jerky progress. This feels like the middle leg of a longer journey, and I'm hoping I will one day get to see them back on the road to their home in Massachusetts and some closure to all the unresolved baggage in their trunk.… (mais)

When a burglar steals a bunch of their magical supplies, three witches set off on a road trip down the East Coast to recover their fenced goods. The story is episodic, with all the good bits coming in the middle as they get involved with some colorful characters on the way. The resolution of the burglar and the Big Bad behind him is actually the least interesting part of the book, though it doesn't ruin it.

I have the sequel on hand and look forward to spending more time with the characters.… (mais)
