I want to be honest here. Although I do enjoy Boom! Studios Buffy-verse which has excelled with titles such as Angel & Spike. Willow and even the recent Faith revival, the titular book continues to fall short of what it tries to offer us.

We expect death on a show like Buffy, but we expect it by way of vampires, demons and major climactic battles. That Joyce dies from a normal-body failing is shocking. It feels incredibly poignant that the two biggest deaths of the series – excluding the series finale or the death of a certain character who comes back to life – happen in the most mundane, human ways possible. (The other one is Tara, who’s killed by a gun.) Usually a loud and dramatic show, this episode is quieter with sparse background noise and little dialogue, allowing it to slow down and focus on the minute details of the different ways people grieve.

I think that there are plenty of mainstream examples of narrative meeting games, there’s a whole subgenre of anime dedicated to it in fact. But I do think having indie people driving the market is going to help formalize the genre in an innovative way. It’s always those first creators who pioneer and set the tone and the rules for others to later to create within.

“I am always like ‘I will believe it when I see it’ but always open and optimistic someone is going to do something,” says Hannigan, in an interview that took place just before the drama unfolded. “I’ll definitely be the first one at my set watching and it’s cool there is an audience that wants it to happen. So hopefully it does take off. “

I can’t mention the Buffy series without talking about the ability of the artists. Spanning several different books across the studio line, each entry manages to deliver the characters consistently. Faith is drawn with the same look and appeal as when she was introduced in Buffy a few issues back.

Sarah Michelle Gellar recently appeared on the On With Mario Podcast, hosted by Mario Lopez. Watch below to hear talk about her work with Feeding…

Adapted from the popular and prestigious (it won the Newberry Medal) Kate DiCamilo (“The Tale of Despereaux”) novel, “Flora” has Hannigan as Phyllis Buckman, a beleaguered single mom whose only child, Flora (Matilda Lawler), hasn’t adjusted to her parents’ recent split.

The Buffy the Vampire Slayer star added: “Kissing a girl on camera is way better because when you kiss a guy, all your makeup rubs off and then in between you have to get these touch-ups. But [when] it’s a girl it’s, like, you’re good to go.”

The New York native went on to tell Us that the “first month” with the new dogs was harder than raising kids. “My kids are at an age where they can go the bathroom by themselves and they don’t pee and poop in the middle of the kitchen,” Gellar joked of daughter Charlotte, 11, and son Rocky, 8.

In the world of Buffy the Vampire Slayer, life as a Watcher was never easy, but Giles was content to take a more passive role as others rushed into danger. The death and rebirth of Giles in Buffy the Vampire Slayer Season Eight changed all that, proving Giles was far stronger than anyone truly realized. In the final arc of Buffy the Vampire Slayer: Season Eight, “Last Gleaming,” Giles’ transformation begins with his death at the hands of Twilight.
