Buffyversity: A Tribute to Kendra Young

By | Mar 17, 2020 | Columns

For a character with so few appearance, Kendra Young sure left a big impact. She was the character that broke all the rules. Right in the show’s introduction it’s made clear- “In every generation, there is a Chosen One. She alone will stand against the vampires, the demons, and the forces of darkness. She is […]

Buffyversity: How They Make Comics

By | Jan 21, 2020 | Columns

The ‘Hellmouth’ crossover is nearly wrapped up, and as these things go, it’s pretty epic. In the many season of the Buffy shows, we never did see the other side of the Hellmouth- turns out it’s Hell. I guess I shouldn’t be surprised. While Buffy, Angel, and Drusilla are descending lower and lower into the […]

Buffyversity: The Plot Serves the Fans

By | Nov 19, 2019 | Columns

In the lead up to this year’s Terminator: Dark Fate the message was subtle, but not. “We hear you,” the filmmakers seemed to say. “We didn’t like Genisys either. We’re ignoring it. Your voices are important […]

The final episode of Angel, ‘Not Fade Away,’ aired in May of 2004. The “Buffy” comics continued to run in continuity with the show until September of 2018, at which point the book was closed on the beloved Buffyverse.

Buffyversity: Vampires Fear the Crossover

By | Sep 17, 2019 | Columns

Angel started as a character on Buffy. He was a mysterious and brooding love interest in season one, a tragic antagonist in season two, and not too long after that, he got his own spin-off. In the rebooted comics, Buffy and Angel are crossing over and like, is that a good idea? Shared universes are […]

Buffyversity: A Cure For Vampirism

By | Jul 9, 2019 | Columns

The “Buffy” comic needed to distinguish itself from the original series, and it did so with an immediate twist. Scooby gang stalwart Xander has been turned to a vampire by Mistress Drusilla. Well, not all the way vampirized. This early in the process, there’s still a chance to reverse the transformation. It’s going to be […]

Buffyversity: Spin-Offs We Deserve

By | Jun 18, 2019 | Columns

Wow, so it turns out Angel has its fans, and they let themselves be known. Rest assured, it also has its detractors, people who think Buffy is a golden classic and Angel is a hot mess. I made my opinions clear last month– Angel is an ambitious, sometimes flawed and sometimes genius show. But what […]
