After a coven rally meant to heal the atmosphere ends in tragedy, Thessally seeks out Buffy guided only by instructions from an old friend. Despite their shared past, Buffy refuses to train her. Instead, she delivers Thess to The Watcher's Council, certain they'll be more suitable guardians. But the Council isn't what they seem, putting Buffy and Thessally in peril, until the intervention of three hooded figures...
Terrible. You can tell the writer has no idea who these characters are. It reads like they casually watched the show as it aired but haven’t seen it since and are going off of memory. So bad I laughed multiple times. Willow naming her child after a comic character apparently because she’s a lesbian… (When that reads more like a Xander trait, not Willow.) And the marriage certificate moment made me lose it because it was just too funny in a bad way, disregarding everything Buffy is and was. This is NOT a Buffy story; it’s just using the names of characters we love, wearing their faces. I have to say that this makes the new YA novel In Every Generation look 1000% better than it is because this is just so bad it’s laughable when not depressing. BOOM’s Buffy line needs desperately saved or slayed at the very least.
This is what Buffy should be! Kicking ass, evil Council, Spike with a posse. Also Thessaly is the most Willow thing I’ve ever heard in my life! Go Will!
Why yes, I am obsessed! Again, the subtle hints of how everything unfolds and how various characters are M.I.A, and others are coming out of the darkness of sewers...literally. This is revitalizing my love of the Buffy comic series.
This issue just shows the series has gone into full-fledged Mary Sue fan fiction territory.
Ooh a wunderkind saviour called Moonshine Trixiepants with LGBT parents and precocious magic and superhuman abilities with special coloured hair and an obnoxious personality - how original, was it written by a 9-year old girl?
Also I’m so sick of Spike and his creepy obsession with Buffy and the creators’ weird obsession in making him a ‘heroic’ white knight at the expense of everything else.

Pretty good, though some of the characterization seems a little off. Buffy seems really closed off, understandably, but even at her worst depression in Season 6 of the show, she was never outright mean. The plot is interesting though!
I couldn't wait, so read this one online, and I loved it!
There are a lot of hints about Buffy's past that seem to suggest she is very closely aligned to tv Buffy, and I'm here for that. There are a few surprising reveals and I enjoyed every one of them.
The writing is fantastic, full of humour and meaning and the characters are all fleshed out and interesting. The Buffy/Anya relationship is great and Thessaly is growing on me. I wish Casey Gilly had been on the original Boom reboot, those comics would have been so much better.
The final few panels are great and my shippers heart is full and hopeful that their may be some romance in Buffy's future.
