Fantastic stories - the show maybe gone but the spirit will NEVER DIE!

Okay, this isn't as good as the series. I do think the replacement voice actors aren't as memorable or as fitting to the part as the TV cast (I do think Sarah Michelle Gellar is a better Buffy than Kirsty Swanson).

I will say my favourite out of all the comics in this series is "The Chain" the writing is superb, Don't have low expectations on this because it is a comic book - the writing in this is just as good (in the case of The Chain - maybe better, but that might be a longshot to some people) as the entire series. My least favourite is the ones with Fray, I just didn't get into the story like the others.

This is long as far as things go - the regular comics take 11 minutes though, the end result is over 3½ hours of Buffy (but who's complaining?). The end result is a very good incarnation, I hope Season 8 The Motion Comic Part 2 comes out or Angel: After The Fall as far as Whedon creations go (to name all the comics I want would disrupt the 1,000 word limit).
