Anyone who's a fan of Buffy comics should pick this book up, even if they've read some of the comics in it already. The Omnibus collects together Buffy comics in chronological order, rather than publishing order, which gives the book more of a flow than one might get from reading the comics individually.

The comics themselves are good as well. As this is the first volume, the comics all take place before the series. There is a retelling of the movie based on the original script, followed by a couple of comics bridging the gap between the movie and the series. Also included is a short comic about Dawn and a very special teddy bear, and a comic about an adventure involving Spike, Drusilla, the World's Fair, some ninjas, and an elder god that is as action-packed as it sounds. Angel fans will enjoy his appearance in a couple of the comics.

Of course, the problem with the Omnibus is the same problem that fans encounter with any Buffy comic (other than Season Eight): the question of whether or not they fit into the series canon. Until Joss sits down and compiles a guide to canon, however, each fan will have to decide that for him or herself. Either way, fans should pick up the Omnibus--it's a good read.
