Buffy: The Lost Summer

A one-shot Buffy comic, apparently set in the TV continuity unlike Boom!’s previous run (I say apparently because when exactly does this fit?) The Lost Summer has a cute road trip setup, an auction of occult stuff (as done in Angel though tonally more like a sequence in Slayer) and an overall hangout sitcom tone. It made me smile a couple times and could have made for a fun breather episode, but other than the return to the regular universe it’s an odd thing to have on shelves in time for the Chosen anniversary.
