Liverpool Sound and Vision Rating 9/10

With the popularity of Buffy the Vampire Slayer assured, there really should have no question that the equally admired series of graphic novels in collected form would continue.

Volume Three of the omnibus editions though would take the wise-cracking Vampire Slayer from the Californian setting of Sunnydale catch straight up with the television series and make the Slayer part of that recognisable group ‘The Scooby Gang’ and focus on the attention of the growing friendship between Buffy Summers, Xander Harris, Cordelia Chase, the sometimes introverted, sometimes female geek fest but loyal and as brave Willow Rosenberg and her watcher Giles. It is this focus that makes Volume Three such an interesting read and makes the hard work that Dark House put in the previous two volumes even more enjoyable and darkly entertaining.
