Buffy the Vampire Slayer Omnibus

“Into each generation a slayer is born…”

Buffy Omnibus

This new definitive comic collection of Buffy Summers’ adventures begins at, where else, the beginning.  In “Buffy: The Origin” Joss Whedon’s original screenplay is used as the template to tell the tale of how Buffy Summers became a vampire slayer.  Re-imagined as the Gellar Buffy, the story has a more serious tone than the over-the-top campiness of the film.

“Viva Las Buffy” follows Buffy and Pike’s trip to a Las Vegas casino which contains more than a few secrets (and vampires).  The plot involves a side-story of Angel along with the “first” appearance of Rupert Giles.  We also see the end of Buffy and Pike’s relationship.

The last of the three main stories,  “Slayer, Interrupted,” focuses on Buffy’s incarceration in a mental institution after Dawn finds Buffy’s diary about her slaying and shares it with her parents.  It’s a nice look back at events that were suggested in the Season Six episode “Normal Again” as Buffy contemplates the absurdity of her life.

Rebirth of a Hero

  • Title: Green Lantern: Rebirth

Green Lantern: Rebirth

In late 2004 the state of the Green Lantern was a mess.  Ron Marz’s (also known as Satan in many comic book circles, and rightly so) ill-conceived “Emerald Twilight” storyline, which turned one of the greatest heroes of the DC Universe into a murderer, had destroyed the legacy of the old comics, killed off the Green Lantern Corps, and left one new and unproven Lantern, Kyle Rayner, to carry the franchise.  Hal Jordan became a villain, then later died in a final heroic act before returning as the Spectre.  It was a mess.  DC, wanting to undo what it recognized as one of the biggest mistakes in its 70+ years of operation, turned to Geoff Johns to fix what Marz had screwed-up a decade before and return Hal Jordan and the Corps to the stars.

Kyle Rayner returns to Earth with the body of Parallax.  Elsewhere the Spectre seems to be losing control and the heroes of the DCU gather together to once again stop a man who was once one of their own only to find others with power rings in their way including Guy Gardner, Kilowog, and John Stewart, and the last of the Guardians of the Universe, Ganthet.
