And finally, a Buffyverse Dracula that isn't just a deconstruction of the stereotype. Drac ain't just "a guy with some cheap gypsy magic".

I loved the opening, showing her death from her own perspective was a beautiful way of exploiting the comic book-medium in a way the show would've struggled with making work as well. Dracula was Awesome in it, and several times too, and it managed to keep up both the silly and the serious from the earlier issues without diminishing either (though it got very close with Mecha-Dawn). The ending was beautiful. On the whole, one of the best issues yet and ending *the* best arc yet. It's not flawless, but I think I'd give it 10/10 too.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
