This was so cute - there are so many nods to the original series to catch but you don't need to know to enjoy.
This reboot has preteen Buffy starting her vampire slaying in a Cleveland, Ohio, middle-school with a whole new Scooby Gang and Watcher supporting cast. Her mother is present, and Spike and Dru are mentioned briefly, but the rest of the movie and TV cast members have been ditched.I picked this up because I was intrigued by the potential I saw in Nowak's Girl Town, and I have been a long-time Buffy fan. And while this book is okay, I'm afraid it is not a peak performance for either of them.Mostly...
This book is definitely a "must read" for any Buffy fans out there!! Cute book.
This was absolutely adorable! This doesn’t seem to fit into canon at all, but all the little references to things from the show were pretty fun. I thought it was funny and sweet, and definitely kept the spirit of Buffy.
Extremely cute, and a great way to introduce younger kids to the world and concept of Buffy! 5/5 stars!
I LOVE that Buffy has been adapted for middle grades. However, the adaptation itself leaves some things to be desired. First of all, Buffy and her mother remain the same, while all other aspects of the story shift slightly. It takes place in Cleveland, the Scooby Gang—while still called the Scooby Gang—go by different names and are slightly different characters (e.g., Xander is Alvaro and he’s a werewolf), and the Big Bad is a less terrifying version of the Master. I appreciated what Novak was d...
I really did not like this. It was like Buffy was written has a 6 year old. It just lacked the Buffy sparkle for me.
Best!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I am not really into graphics, but, come on, this is a "Buffy" book, and I'm a fan, so I was happy to read it. And this really is a great little introduction to the Buffyverse for tweens. The whole style feels right, and there are some nice inside jokes for the adults.
I really enjoyed this graphic novel/middle school version of Buffy the Vampire Slayer. It's Buffy, but a slightly younger version that was similar to the TV's show's take on the character but also different enough to feel like its own thing. Aside from Buffy and her mom, all the characters and the setting are new, although, again, similar to the TV version. Buffy has a female watcher, and she has two friends who, it turns out, have powers of their own. The story was well-structured with diary en...
pg rated middle school buffy the vampire slayer in ohio! i had to read it, ive always wondered how life was for buffy before sunnydale- its referenced as a rough time that resulted in being expelled thus triggering the summers familys rehoming to california. nowak is one of the contributors and im familiar with their soft and positive work in lumberjanes. this paperback had a cute set up using buffys diaries as a classic graphic novel tool.
This was super cute! I am a massive Buffy fan so basically anything in the universe is gonna make me happy. This was a sweet little introduction and divergence from the original world. I do wish there were more comic panels and fewer diary entiries. But I loooooOOoooOOoooved that they snuck in one of my fav Xander quotes: If they do more in this series, I will definitely read them.
Perfect starter for new generation of Buffy fans! It hits all the points of the Buffyverse that I love and it’s light enough for younger readers to enjoy.
I enjoyed the book, but was disappointed about the dialogue being like the show. It definitely not cannon. I am going to donate this book to my elementary school.
A good starting point for anyone who has not seen or read the previous Buffy The Vampire Slayer seasons. This would technically be a reboot or alternate history. Buffy Summers is starting a new middle school in Cleveland and finds out she is a vampire slayer. It’s hard to be a teen let alone a slayer but with her new female watcher and two best friends, a witch and a werewolf, she is not alone.Buffy and the slayer mythology is about the only thing familiar with this graphic novel if you are a fa...
This is a super cute middle grade graphic novel reboot of Buffy that I'll definitely recommend to 8 to 12 year old readers. This new series essentially reimagines BtVS if Buffy had been called as a Slayer & began training in middle school, rather than high school. We still get to see the sassy, witty version of Buffy we know and love, but as an 11 year-old. This book is primarily in comic form (black and white) with journal entries and text messages.What I love the most about this book is the su...
Love Buffy so found about this new one. This one was kind of cute, same with the art style and diary entries were also good.
This was a fun graphic novel about Buffy attending a new middles school, making friends, getting grounded, and fighting vampires along the way. In our library GN NOWAK.
I never watched any of the Buffy the Vampire TV show, so I can’t say too much about how this compares, but I do know there are some major differences. For one thing, this is set in middle school and in Cleveland and has been updated to the present, so Buffy and her friends all have cell phones and text exchanges. In this story, Buffy discovers that she is a Slayer and is trained at her school with her Watcher to battle vampires.This book has a lot of story in it for such a slim volume and a grap...
This a total reboot of Buffy for middle school crowd. Which yes, means a total reboot. For some reason, the action has been moved from California to Cleveland (which I, as a native of NE Ohio, found hilarious). Buffy has a totally different Watcher, and her friends are different people, too. I thought it might have something to do with licensing, but Spike and Dru are both mentioned, so it's clearly not that. I guess I just don't understand why, if Buffy's best female friend is going to be a wit...
