Buffy the Vampire Slayer, Season 8, by Joss Whedon

When Buffy the Vampire Slayer ended it's television run in 2003 creator Joss Whedon still had stories to tell, so he relaunched the show as a comic book.  This has been so successful that other cancelled tv shows (Pushing Daisies, Charmed) have followed suit.

Buffy the Vampire Slayer: Season 8 picks up sometime after Sunnydale's destruction at the end of the show's seven season run.  There are now hundreds of slayers worldwide with more than enough trouble to keep them all busy.  Buffy has evolved into a General of sorts, overseeing squads of slayers across the globe. 

The series maintains the feel of the show with consistent characters and villains old and new.  I've been enjoying getting my fix of kick-ass women and sarcastic quips, but I've found the plotlines jump around a little.  It may just be that reading comics is faster than watching tv shows, so everything seems to go by at double speed.  There is less narrative time to reflect and observe character development.  Also, with the comic starting a year or so after the show ended, there are gaps in continuity.  This break allowed characters to grow up a little in the time gone by, but as a reader it left me feeling behind on the action.
