Tales of the Slayers
Tales of the Slayers (Buffy the Vampire Slayer)
Joss Whedon (the creator of ‘Buffy’) wrote three out of eight of the stories, including Righteous, and the rest were written by those involved with the TV show. The amazing illustrations are by a wonderful mix of artists, (who are described as “comics’ greatest artists” – unfortunately, I am quite ignorant about things like that and have never heard of any of them, but now that I have, I’ll definitely look out for these artists!), including Gene Colan, Tim Sale and P. Craig Russell, who all bring their very unique styles to the Slayer universe. Gorgeous!

You don’t have to be a Buffy fan (or even have the faintest idea what a Slayer is) to read this comic. But for Buffy fans, it adds a nice history to the Buffy world.
This is my second read for the RIP V Challenge.
I have never been a big Buffy fan, but I should try this. It might change my opinion of things.
I kinda disdained Buffy for quite a while, and it was only after I fell for Whedon’s Firefly that I decided to give it a chance! I did wish that some of the stories in the graphic novel were longer though! (Although I understand that Fray, the final slayer featured has her own limited series.)
For some reason, I like this idea better than doing Season 8 as comics. I guess I was always kind of curious about the other Slayers!
Ok I didn’t know that Season 8 was a comic series! I will have to check that out when I finally finish watching the show – I’m only starting Season 5 now (and getting distracted by the start of fall season!)
