Comic Book Images of the Week

One of the more memorable aspects of the Buffy the Vampire Slayer "Freefall" collection has to be this variant cover originally meant for book # 6.

And of course, one of the neatest things about that cover is how cleverly it references this classic comic book cover from an earlier era.

Buffy the Vampire Slayer: “Lessons”

Kit Holburn and Carlos Trejo really need their own story. Some day I may write one -- especially since the writers who created them have no interest in doing so. Introducing two potential new Scoobies to be friends with Dawn Summers and then not having them in any future episodes... Well, those TV writers certainly showed us. Though it's hard to imagine any storyline involving Dawn, Kit and Carlos that could possibly be worse than some of the storylines the writers actually came up for the rest of Season Seven.

On the bright side, the opening sequence in which Buffy teaches Dawn how to be a Slayer was pretty cool. Buffy's lecture/sermon on power was a bit on the nose but still.

Robin Wood should have been a more interesting character but he wasn't. His mother Nikki Wood deserved a lot more fanfic.

The final scene involving Spike and a constantly morphing entity is a classic. Unfortunately, the rest of the season never lives up to that scene.
