Book Review: Buffy '97 by J. Lambert et al.

Buffy '97 written by Jeremy Lambert, illustrated by Marianna Ignazzi, and colored by Mattia Iacono

Buffy the Vampire Slayer goes shopping for clothes with Willow while she should be helping Giles with his bowling game. Giles has a new girlfriend who bowls, so he needs practice. Buffy really wants to go to the one-night-only fashion show at the mall featuring a famous designer. They bow out of bowling and they wind up trapped by the designer who turns out to be more evil and magical than imagined. The story has an interesting idea but the art is rough. Sometimes I was not sure who was which character--a big problem in a graphic story.

The book comes with five other short stories. None of them are that impressive in story or in art. Even as a fan of Buffy, I found the whole book disappointing.

Not recommended.
