When we last left Buffy she was on a training mission with Satsu, one of the newly awoken Slayers. During said mission Buffy revealed in a rather comical way that she had figured out that said "junior" slayer was the one who broke the curse on her; you know, back in issue #3 when only the kiss of true love would wake Buffy. She tried to chase the girl off with a wonderful little speech that gave great insight into Buffy's feelings about how everyone who loves her either gets hurt or figures out there is something wrong with her.

The speech didn't work because it seems a little vampire hunting led to... the page from the book says it all.

Yep, Buffy did more than kiss a girl.

Written by Drew Goddard, who wrote the film Cloverfield as well as co-wrote the classic Buffy episode Conversations with Dead People, this issue is a wonderful mix of all the best elements of anything connected to the Buffy verse. There is comedy, including a Xander moment that caused me to drop the book in my lap as I laughed out loud. There is a great use of the shows mythos, including the return of not one but two characters from the television show. Best of all, there is set-up of what's to come.

So for my money this issue is a must read. All the best elements of an episode of Buffy in a handy little genius comic.

Oh and did I mention Buffy sleeps with a woman?

Heck, even the NY Times took notice in a piece that includes some great insight into the decision by the master himself, Joss Whedon.
