Buffy
Summers has burned down the school gym, run off to Vegas,
and filled her diary with tales of vampires and demons - her
parents see no other choice than to have her committed to
a mental institution for a nice long rest. During her stay,
Buffy finds that she likes not having to slay vampires and
demons night after night. But there's something sinister going
on here as some of the doctors may not be what they appear.
Meanwhile
in England, Giles' use of witchcraft has stopped a young magician
from destroying the Watchers Council, but now, to prove himself
worthy of the title Watcher, he must face the consequences
for dabbling in the forbidden arts...
Slayer
Interrupted isn't one of the happiest Buffy graphic
novels, but it's still pretty good. Set in the time between
originally being chosen, whilst living in LA, and before moving
to Sunnydale, Buffy is returning from her trip to Las Vegas
which made her come to terms with her role in the world -
and saw Spike leave her to save her from the danger he felt
he would put her in.
Buffy
comes home to find out that Dawn has read her diary (including
tales of her night time slay activities) and shown it to her
parents. Relieved she has come home, but believing she is
mentally unhinged, they send Buffy off for a rest at the Funny
Farm. Of course, shenanigans ensue and Buffy kicks some butt
and saves the world, as normal. This graphic novel also shows
the trials that Giles has to go through in order to prove
himself worthy as Buffy's new Watcher. In an interesting turn
of affairs he has to fight against his rebellious side, by
bringing Ripper out of himself and into corporal form. You
can guess who wins but it's a fun tale to read.
In
addition to this dark yet interesting story, there's the hilarious
story of Dawn; who when gets mistaken for the Chosen One tams
up with a demonic stuffed bear. It is worth getting this collection
just to read this story.
