The Box Says:
A sinister presence stirs among the charred rubble of what used to be Sunnydale High. It seems that the ghost of Sunnydale’s former Mayor has a bone to pick with Buffy. Now, on top of dealing with her nightmares about a certain raven-haired, trash-talking former Slayer, she’s got a body-snatching, blood-sucking, poltergeist stalking her every moment she’s awake. Buffy’s left to face the thing without knowing whose hand guides it, armed only with an enigmatic message from Faith: “You’re already dead.” Fans of the Buffy the Vampire Slayer television show should not pass up the most Faithful collection of Buffy comics ever! Jane Espenson, long-time writer for the Buffy TV series, brings you the first and only appearance of Faith in comics, picking up directly from the Season Three finale!
We think:
These were a MUST for me. Jane writing the story and Photo Covers!
I always think that Jane Espenson and Doug Petrie are like the 'Wonder Twins'. They're a lot of fun and yet poignancy races through both of them. 'Haunted' is a perfect example. We all know (or should know by now) that Doug is 'chief Faith scribe'. He was pretty much responsible for getting us to love Faith so much. So, it's great when you read something like 'Haunted' and not even wonder about the dialogue sounding out-of-character or anything.
Jane has Faith and the Mayor down! The Mayor is back and he's looking out for Faith who is still in a coma. He (obviously) wants Buffy dead. I won't give anything else away. Just that this four shot is well worth getting. It's better to get it with the photo-covers if you can. :)
