REVIEW: Buffy the Vampire Slayer ‘Season 8 Motion Comic’

REVIEW: As a long time Buffy The Vampire Slayer fan, I tried reading the original “Buffy” comic book when it hit the stands a few years back, but couldn’t get past the “lifeless” version of Buffy sans the original actors, fun music, and dramatic moments.
