The definitive comics collection of all things Buffy starts here. This first massive volume begins at the beginning—The Origin, a faithful adaptation of creator Joss Whedon's original screenplay for the film that started it all. The newly chosen Slayer's road to Sunnydale continues in Viva Las Buffy and Slayer, Interrupted. Next, Sunnydale, the Scoobies, and an English librarian lead the way into Season 1 continuity. Plus, The Goon creator Eric Powell provides pencils to All's Fair, featuring Spike and Drusilla at the 1933 World's Fair. The smash TV hit Buffy the Vampire Slayer led to nearly a decade of comics at Dark Horse—including multiple specials, one-shots, and guest miniseries. This omnibus series is the ultimate compilation of the Buffy comics Dark Horse has published, and runs along the TV series' timeline. A fitting companion to Whedon's comics-based relaunch of the show.

Main thoughts: 
I love anything involving Buffy the Vampire Slayer. I mean, as I am writing this I am wearing my Sunnydale sweatshirt and my claddagh ring. I have made a few of my friends watch the show purely because I love it so much.

One of my favorite things about this volume is the fact that Dawn is apart of the story now. As many of you know, and if you don't then this does not make sense, Dawn doesn't show up until season five in the magnificent show. But from the point on, Buffy's memories all include her even though they didn't include her before then. 

I would like to think that Dawn was there from the beginning and she should be include. It's nice to see it interpreted this way since we already saw it interpreted without her.

There is still the witty banter that we well, I, have come to love and there are still those moments that a tear is threatened to drop from my eye. I am excited to continue on to the next volume!

Buffy's emotions run high after the tragic loss of her mother, but she still fights. She struggles with blood-starved vamps from another dimension and swarms of green demon children with a penchant for nibbling on faces, and, as barriers between alternate realities erode, nightmare versions of friends and long-dead enemies must be dealt with. Then Buffy's own death -- having sacrificed herself for Dawn -- takes a toll on the Scoobies, as they deal with demons and crazed forest creatures in a tale by Amber Benson ("Tara") and Christopher Golden. When Buffy is restored to life, she undertakes a secret mission with Angel, and all the loose ends are tied up with Buffy's trip to hell, bringing an end to an amazing four-year run of Buffy comics. * The Buffy Omnibus books collect the earliest Buffy comics and are an excellent precursor to Joss Whedon's Buffy the Vampire Slayer Season Eight series. * "There's plenty of humor and action here. Lots of strange (and strangely fun) violence. And, for Slayer fans, Omnibus is an opportunity to run down memory lane and relive those early, exciting Slayer days." -- comicbookbin.com
