Review: Buffy the Vampire Slayer Season 9 #18

After Andrew Chambliss brought Illyria into the main Buffy book so well, I was hoping that she would be more than a McGuffin for the plot.  While this is sadly true, the rest of the issue is the usual goodness that we have come to expect from Chambliss Illyria has been at the back of [...]
