CaseyTheCanadianLesbrarian's Reviews > Buffy the Vampire Slayer: Last Gleaming

Too many fancy schmancy sci fi creatures and not enough real people and emotions. Angel as Twilight I still don't buy at all; they didn't establish any real kind of motivations and I think Angel/Buffy is pretty dead at this point. And Giles's death was TERRIBLE. After barely including him the whole season, they kill him off in a totally unheroic way even though Giles deserved WAY better?

Still it seems like the comics are headed in a different direction, from the last issue where Buffy seems to be back to "normal" with great Spuffy banter and Whedon's note which basically says what was wrong with season 8, all of which I agree with (though I would add things, haha). I will keep reading, cause some of the comics have been really good and I love Buffy, of course.

Also, the art was just never that good the whole season...I thought it was just me at first, but after reading other reviews I know other people also could never tell any of the brunettes apart (Is that Faith? Kennedy? Dawn? Who can tell?)
