Which book is best?

[Joe]

I went to the library and picked up all the Buffy books and here's what I got. So which should I read first? Which are really bad? Which are the best?

thanks guys

I'll put them in the order I liked them from best to least:

1. Dark Congress
2. Carnival of Souls
3. Portal Through Time
4. Not Forgotten
5. Queen of the Slayers
6. After Image

I really think Dark Congress is one of the best Buffy books out there. Christopher Golden really understands the characters. Not a fan of his comics, but his books are great! It takes place post-Season 7 and doesn't really fit into continuity, but that doesn't mean you can't enjoy it. There are some BIG surprise returns, too.

Let me know if you want my opinion on another.

Besides one or two mistakes, can you imagine "Dark Congress" fitting in between Season 7 and 8, or does it take it completely off track like "Queen of Slayers"

Oh, absolutely! Dark Congress is just a nice, self-contained story with a clear beginning, middle and end. Whereas Queen of the Slayers is this HUGE EPIC story that goes off in a bunch of different directions.

I haven't read Dark Congress yet.
But I think I will pick up a copy as soon as

I also want to read Spike:Asylum but not sure if it's any good. Anyone read it and can let me know what they think?

[Enisy]

Oh, Spike: Asylum and Spike: Shadow Puppets pretty much set the standard for Buffy comics. Highly recommended. (Plus they're probably canon now, what with all the nods in Angel: After the Fall.

[eternalspikefan]

Thanks

I will be picking them up now, well in a week or so actually when I get paid lol.

But yeah, looking forward to reading them now.
I think this months money is going mostly towards Buffy related things haha, much deserved though. I haven't bought in a while so Yay! Treat time ;D
*Does my happy dance*

Spike: Asylum and Spike: Shadow Puppets are the best comics I have read besides after the fall/season 8 Book wise I think Go Ask Malice is worth a read. I like Buffy books that are not canon (obviously, none are.) but could be. My library sells their old Buffy/Angel books every few months so I just got about 30 or more. I am really looking forward to reading OZ into the Wild.
