This had some good moments. I did like the party Buffy threw and some lines in there. She has real roommates for now. I guess Buffy still has some youth left in her. The whole showdown with Buffy and the police was, oh Buffy the Vampire Slayer Season 9 Volume 1: Freefall, this again? They ended the last season in a down and depressed place, but at least they are trying to correct their mistake in this one, but it might take all season to do so. There is a new This had some good moments. There is a new bad that Buffy takes care off. There are some fine moments, but nothing really inspired.

The world is without magic and everyone blames Buffy because, well, she kind of made it that way. And now vampires are more animalistic than human looking and acting. And then someone betrayed her? May 12, Chad rated it it was amazing. Buffy starts to deal with the fallout of destroying the world's magic as she tries to live a normal life. Buffy gets arrested and blames for all these bodies the police have found of former vampires. On par with Season 8 of the series. I accidentally just devoured this. I literally picked it up from the library and the next thing I knew I was picking up volume two. Buffy, I've missed you and you're real world problems. Season Eight was a fantastical blast but we're getting back to the basics now. This is the blossoming of Buffy! I love it. It has the fun side of first seasons with a just a dash of darkness of season 4. More please. Over and out. Aug 17, Sesana rated it really liked it Shelves: comics. Season eight of Buffy got a little too full of themselves No budget! Let's throw everything in that's too expensive to film! And that's where we pick up here. Willow has no magic to draw on, vampires are turning feral, and demons are cut off from their home dimensions. The last one leads to the best scene in the book. The main drive of the story is watching Buffy try to build a normal life and fail completely. Great cliffhan Season eight of Buffy got a little too full of themselves No budget! Great cliffhanger at the end, too. The volume closes with a short comic about Spike's time with his insectoid alien friends, which is completely brilliant.

You're telling me that after leading a Slayer army, being a general and Buffy the Vampire Slayer Season 9 Volume 1: Freefall, the best job Buffy can get is in a coffee shop? Even with vampires out in the open, even with magick gone, and vampires falling out of the public's good graces Buffy the Vampire Slayer Season 9 Volume 1: Freefall which, btw, was REALLY STUPID in the first place - Buffy can't even get on with the military or be some sort of vampire-killing consultant? No, just a coffee shop. This is so OOC annoying, badly-written regression - by seaso Um no. This is so OOC annoying, badly-written regression - by season seven, Buffy had matured past this stupid teenage shit. Why am I even reading this crap? The only good things in any of this are Spike and his bugs. Spike and his bugs need a solo. Fuck season nine. Dec 26, Cath rated it really liked it Shelves: comic-books. Pretty good! Review for issue 1: This was amazing. Reminded me so much of what I loved about the t. Show Awesome start to a new season. Review for issue 2: just like episode one of this season it reminded me of the tv show. Which is great because I love the tv. Even the "bad" episodes of Buffy I still find a way to love except episode one of season four. Buffy the Vampire Slayer: Freefall by Joss Whedon

After the outright chaos of season eight, I must admit I am giddy over the return of everyday Buffy in this newest season. She's not in charge of an army of slayers nor chasing down the elusive Twilight in this the ninth series, but me likey. The witty banter, the character driven scenes, and the return to the basics made my heart happy. I am all in! Jun 12, Nathan Haines rated it really liked it. What a party! Jan 17, Alice Rachel rated it liked it. Buffy is rather awkward and immature in this one. Still like the graphics though. I read S8 between so I plan on continuing while Boom releases the new comics. I didn't really care for the plot though or the artwork. The artwork wasn't the greatest. I am a huge Buffy stan as Ive stated in my reviews so hopefully Season 9 gets better because this first issue was just underwhelming and slightly boring.

I'm still really enjoying following the characters from Buffy the Vampire Slayer in graphic novel form. I did have a hard time following the beginning of this story though. After rereading it twice and then once again after I finished the whole volume I think I finally figured Buffy the Vampire Slayer Season 9 Volume 1: Freefall what was going on, but I definitely think it was needlessly confusing. Either that or I'm really slow on the uptake. Though more of This is the first collected volume of comics in the continuation of the Buffy series.

That was Dawn? Willow has changed hair colour and style, but that's intentional. Riley looked nothing like Riley. Let's not even talk about Andrew.

This rating is for the entire series, really-- seasons 8 and 9. I wasn't a comic book fan before they started making Buffy season 8, but if I've learned one thing, it's that if Joss is involved, I'll be a fan of whatever it is fairly soon. I still don't really like vampires, but I do love Buffy. It's about the writing folks, and the writing is alive and well in seasons 8 and 9, even if I didn't love a couple of the arcs.

It is the sequel to the Season Eight comic book series, a canonical continuation of the television series Buffy the Vampire Slayer. The core series consisted of 25 issues and each miniseries consisted of 5 issues. At the start of Season Ninethe series focuses on Buffy living in San Francisco in a world without magic. Buffy the Vampire Slayer Season Nine continues the plot thread from the previous seriesfocusing on Buffy and her core group of friends. After the Twilight crisisin which she destroyed the 'Seed of Wonder' and consequently brought about the end of magicBuffy is now living in San Francisco [4] and must continue her duties as the Slayer. For example, in the process of becoming a vampire, demons are no longer able to fully possess the dead, creating mindless creatures which Xander coins "zompires". Xander and Buffy's sister Dawn have settled into a quiet domestic life together, and Buffy's best friend Willow no longer possesses magical abilities. Andrew and Riley are still friends of Buffy's, but she sees them less frequently. Buffy lives with two seemingly normal roommates, Tumble and Anaheed, and the job of patrolling for vampires initially falls to Buffy and her ex-lover Spikea vampire with a soul. Due to his feelings for Buffy, Spike departs San Francisco in his space ship. Willow also leaves, Buffy's broken scythe in tow, on a quest to restore magic. Buffy faces a few enemies, including many ravenous zompires, the rogue Slayer Simone Dofflerand a young man named Severin—prophesied as "the Siphon"— who since the end of magic possesses the ability to drain demons and Slayers of their magic. Buffy works primarily with a few new allies, including Robert Dowling, an SFPD officer who heads up an anti-zompire task force, and Billy Lane, a gay teenager who moved to San Francisco to support Buffy's cause. Later it is revealed that Anaheed is another Slayer who has been tasked with looking out for Buffy, and she takes Billy under her wing. Buffy is also briefly allied with Eldre Koh, an ancient demon whose mystical prison was broken along with the end of magic, and for this swears a debt of loyalty to Buffy. Koh reveals however, that his Buffy the Vampire Slayer Season 9 Volume 1: Freefall against his ancient jailer trumps his loyalty to Buffy, and betrays her trust. Later, on a mission with Dowling and Billy, Buffy finds herself transported to Los Angeles where she is approached by another ancient demon, Illyria a character from the television series Angelwho recruits Buffy to a team dedicated to defeating Severin. Buffy, Illyria and Koh strategize to disarm and take out Severin. However, their plan fails and Severin is successful in draining Illyria of her abilities leaving her alive but powerless and stuck in the physical appearance of her human host body, Winifred Burkle. Having drained Illyria of her powers, Severin acquires her ability to freely travel through time, which he needs to resurrect his dead girlfriend. Soon after, Buffy discovers that Dawn who was created from a mystical key in Buffy season five is dying as a result of the end of magic. Xander— who has been struggling with his anger since Giles' death in Season Eight —blames Buffy for Dawn's predicament. Severin and Simone approach and ask him to steal Buffy's sole inheritance from Giles the Vampyr book seen in Buffy episode one so that they might use it to go back in time and avert the Twilight crisis which precipitated the end of magic. Willow returns from her journey with her powers and Buffy's scythe restored, but she can only buy time for Dawn, whose health is still failing. Xander appears to confess to Buffy of Severin's plan, leading the trio head to the Deeper Well in the English Cotswolds a prison for ancient demons seen in Angel where they hope they can acquire sufficient magical reserves for Willow to restore Dawn. Spike returns to San Francisco to provide comfort to Dawn; he watches over her as she fades rapidly from existence. As Buffy's team enters the Well, at the opposite end of the Earth so too do Simone and Severin, acting on information supplied by Xander. Buffy learns of Xander's deceit and is furious with him. Inside, Severin and Willow both charge with abundant magical energies, but it is too much for Severin to handle and he will soon explode with power. Willow's magic forms a Buffy the Vampire Slayer Season 9 Volume 1: Freefall Seed, which will take a millennium to reach full power. However, with assistance from Illyria, she persuades Severin to transfer his power to the new Seed, thereby causing it to mature and restore magic to the world. Illyria chooses to stay with Severin to ensure the task is completed. Meanwhile, Simone awakens Maloker, the Old One responsible for siring the first vampire, and allows herself to be sired, endowing her with fantastic super strength while allowing her to retain her intelligence. As Xander attempts to help Koh and the Council subdue Maloker, Simone gets the upper hand against Buffy, but sensing her need to escape the Well, she leaves Buffy to be finished off by Maloker, who has killed all the Council save for D'Hoffryn and Koh. As her friends evacuate the Well, Buffy expresses regret for making someone like Simone into a Slayer, and dusts her with the scythe. Further below, Severin explodes with power, restoring magic to the world. The resulting explosion seemingly kills him, along with Maloker and Illyria. Buffy narrowly escapes the Well. In the immediate aftermath of their battle, Willow returns the gang to San Francisco and uses Buffy's blood and her magic to restore Dawn. Xander expresses guilt about his betrayal, but Buffy forgives him as his actions ultimately led to the creation of a new Seed, which saved Dawn. Willow warns Buffy something feels different in the world. Willow and Buffy turn to the pages of the Vampyr book to research possible consequences of their recent actions, but find its pages are Buffy the Vampire Slayer Season 9 Volume 1: Freefall blank. Elsewhere, a newly sired vampire is shown to retain her intelligence, stand in sunlight and even shapeshift into a bat. Faith seeks to rehabilitate Angel after his actions as Twilight in Season Eightwhile he is on the hunt for the scattered pieces of Giles' soul in order to resurrect him. Whistler plans to use the residual magic contained in scattered artifacts around the world to unleash a plague which will mutate humankind into a magical species, creating a new world order, at the cost of many human lives. Angel and Faith go on several missions and acquire numerous fragments of Giles' soul using the mystical Tooth of Ammuk, and Angel's personality becomes increasingly influenced by Buffy the Vampire Slayer Season 9 Volume 1: Freefall growing presence of Giles' soul within him. Angel and Faith are joined and supported by Giles' great aunts, Lavinia and Sophronia Fairweather, two depowered witches who used their magic to remain young and beautiful, and by Alasdair Coames, a depowered "archmage" and a Buffy the Vampire Slayer Season 9 Volume 1: Freefall of magical artifacts who is an old friend of Giles's. Willow visits Angel and Faith's apartment on her mission to restore magic, and Buffy the Vampire Slayer Season 9 Volume 1: Freefall the Scythe contains a piece of Giles' soul, is able to enlist their help. Connor was raised in the hell dimension Quor'toth, and through him Willow is able to transport them there using residual magic in the Scythe. Once there, she regains her powers and begins an inter-dimensional journey, and Angel receives the penultimate piece of Giles's soul. Later, Angel and Faith recover a mystical item which is key to restoring Giles's corpse to full health so they can reanimate it. However, they discover he is not buried in his grave. They learn that Giles's body has been possessed by the demon Eyghon from the Buffy episode " The Dark Age "to whom he sold his soul in his youth. Angel reveals that he has known of Eyghon's survival, as well as his partnership with Buffy the Vampire Slayer Season 9 Volume 1: Freefall, Pearl and Nash. Because vampires are immune to Eyghon's ability to possess the dead and unconscious, with which he plans to build an army of Slayers, Angel recruits Spike to assist him on a mission to kill the demon. The trio, supported by a band of Slayers, manages to slay Eyghon using an enchanted sword. Traumatized by this battle and by recent losses, the Slayers who worked alongside Nadira quit to lead normal lives. With Eyghon's death, Giles's complete soul is restored, and is later transferred from Angel's body to a mystical vessel. Spike quickly departs after learning Buffy called Faith requesting help for Dawn, but Angel and Faith have no Buffy the Vampire Slayer Season 9 Volume 1: Freefall who Dawn is supposed to be. The remaining group then go ahead with the plan to bring Giles back to life, using Coames's collection of artifacts to provide the required magic for the spell. The ritual is interfered with when Whistler, Pearl and Nash arrive to steal Coames' magical artifacts. The trio make off with everything after a brief and brutal skirmish. The group is astounded when Giles is successfully returned to life, but as a year-old boy with his memories intact, due to his aunts focusing on their memories of him as a child. Giles thanks them for saving him from Eyghon but is furious at the age of his body and that they have been wasting time trying to bring him back and not saving Buffy the Vampire Slayer Season 9 Volume 1: Freefall world from Whistler's plan. The group form a battle plan including a way to shield themselves from the plague, and accept that they all might die. The group, trailed by Nadira, confront Whistler, Pearl and Nash on a rooftop in Hackney as they prepare to unleash their magical plague by releasing an orb of pure magic into the upper atmosphere. Angel and Faith are easily outgunned, and Nadira is gravely wounded by Nash. Giles is able to use ambient magic to attack Nash with a fireball, causing him drop the magical orb, albeit from a sufficient height to mutate local residents into all manner of magical creatures. Though burnt within an inch of her life, Nadira is able to help Faith kill Nash. Upon Nash's death, his power is absorbed by Pearl, who escapes the scene in tears at the loss of her brother. Angel takes on Whistler head-to-head; he damages the orb, forcing Whistler to absorb some of its magic, which clears his unbalanced mind. Whistler realizes the error of his ways, destroys the orb himself, and dies. Even though it is medically impossible, Nadira is still alive, but is somehow mutating. Coames worries that with Whistler's death the universe will no longer have someone working towards balance; Angel says that people will have to do it for themselves. Lavinia and Sophronia take credit in front of the media for stopping the crisis. Faith and Giles decide to return to America, Faith thinking she may work with Kennedy 's Slayer bodyguard corporation and Giles aiming to reunite with Buffy. Angel parts on good terms with them, deciding to stay Buffy the Vampire Slayer Season 9 Volume 1: Freefall in London's newly christened "Magic Town" suburb where he expects many conflicts are yet to arise.

In a magical dimension resembling "Wonderland"Willow is reunited with her former tutor and lover Aluwyn, the Saga Vasukiwhom she Buffy the Vampire Slayer Season 9 Volume 1: Freefall not commune with after the end of magic. Aluwyn and her "supercoven" of witches restore Buffy's broken magical Scythe but inform Willow that opening a functional portal to her home world will be impossible because it does not have magic of its own. At first Willow enjoys the freedom of limitless power in a magical community, but later realizes Aluwyn has secluded her to the neglect of her friends, and the pair separate. The experience leaves Willow with a newfound understanding of her abilities and her own nature, including the oneness of her "Dark Willow" persona and her normal self. While traveling with Marrak again, his obsession with dark magic becomes apparent, and she realizes that he is in fact Rackthe dealer responsible for her earlier black magic addiction, whom she believed she had killed. In the story's final part, Willow and Rack battle until he is defeated, and she in turn is guided by a sentient universe back to Earth—this time, with her own magic restored and the message that it is for all the world to share. She walks the streets of San Buffy the Vampire Slayer Season 9 Volume 1: Freefall at peace. Demons seize control of Spike's ship seeking to return to the ruins of Sunnydale, Californiaover the mystical Hellmouth where Buffy shattered the Seed of Wonder, bringing about the end of magic. They hope to acquire the shattered fragments of the seed, for they contain residual magic. At the site of Buffy's battle, Spike encounters a succubus named Morgan who helps him kill his captors and explains that she, like many demons, is after these fragments as well; she plans to use them to open the dormant Hellmouth on Easter Island. Morgan's powers place Spike under her thrall and using his ship, he transports her to the site of the Hellmouth before coming to his senses. Once there, Morgan's spell to open the Hellmouth fails, and instead brings the moai to life. The moai later fuse into a stone giant which attacks Spike and Morgan. During the fray, the giant strikes and destroys Spike's space ship, leading all Buffy the Vampire Slayer Season 9 Volume 1: Freefall one of Spike's insectoid crew Buffy the Vampire Slayer Season 9 Volume 1: Freefall evacuate.

Contemplating a return to San Francisco, Spike receives a phone call from Angel requesting his help. Billy is summoned back to his hometown of Santa Rosita by his boyfriend Devon after it is overrun by zompires who do not need an invitation to enter people's homes. Anaheed travels along with him and says they can only evacuate the town; she advises him that a Slayer ought to know when to cut their losses.
