Product Description
Buffy's world goes awry when former-classmate-turned-vampire Harmony Kendall lands her own reality TV show, "Harmony Bites," bolstering bloodsucking fiends in the mainstream. Humans line up to have their blood consumed, and Slayers, through a series of missteps, misfortunes, and anti-Slayer propaganda driven by the mysterious Twilight, are forced into hiding. In Germany, Faith and Giles discover a town where Slayers retreat from a world that has turned against them, only to find themselves in the arms of something far worse. A rogue-Slayer faction displaces an entire Italian village, living up to their tarnished reputation as power-hungry thieves. And finally, with the help of a would-be demon lover, Dawn addresses her unfaltering insecurities.

Good but not like the others,

This review is from: Buffy The Vampire Slayer Season 8 Volume 5: Predators And Prey (Paperback)
Volume 5 is good, I can't really say something really bad about it. The stories continue, the style is the same. They do everything they can to keep us entertain and they did it well.But, to be honest, the first 3 volumes are a little better in my opinion, but if you have already read the first 4 volumes, you don't want to miss this one.

This review is from: Buffy The Vampire Slayer Season 8 Volume 5: Predators And Prey (Paperback)
I haven't read it yet, since it hasn't been released.I'm a big fan of Buffy and I can hardly wait for #5 to be released.I've just finished reading this book: "Bite Me!: The 10th Buffyversary Guide to the World of Buffy the Vampire Slayer" (Paperback) by Nikki Stafford It's absolutely great, highly recommended. Anyway, close to the end, it mentions that Joss Whedon has officially announced there will be 22 of these comics, and there may even be as many as 50 :)

I think people missed the point...,
By V. M. Ranjan "Vivi" - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Buffy The Vampire Slayer Season 8 Volume 5: Predators And Prey (Paperback)
I actually thought the premise of Harmony getting her own reality-TV show was pretty hilarious. I think, rather than trying to cash in on the whole "vampires integrating into popular culture" thing like the True Blood series, Joss and Crew are generally poking fun at all the Twilight/True Blood fans who have suddenly gone... well.. vampire crazy! Everyone wants their own vampire, and everyone is sooo in love with Vampires that they fail to see that vampires would actually be dangerous. Harmony has always been a huge comic relief for me, she's absolutely silly and fails to feel like a threat, when in truth she totally is (well, okay mostly she's hilarious and ineffectual as a threat). I could totally believe that she took her Angel-certified recommendation, her former ties to W&H and her glowing/whacky personality and went straight to TV execs with her "woe is me! I'm a misunderstood vampire!" angle to cash in. What's even better is that they bring to light the damage that misrepresenting certain groups can do, and how easily people are swayed. I mean, vampires easily get people to turn against the "Slayer Threat" even though the Slayer "Threat" is their only real defense. I think it's more of Joss just poking at current pop-culture and maybe even the current political climate.As for the rest of installment, I can see where this is setting up the plots for the next story arc, and that's fine. Just remember that exposition and pawn placement is always a little... dry. Oh, and just for fun, "Dawn's in trouble. Must be Tuesday." <-- Oh how I miss Tuesdays with Buffy <3 4 of 4 people found the following review helpful

Series slowing down but Vampy Cat rules!!,
By S. Penrose - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Buffy The Vampire Slayer Season 8 Volume 5: Predators And Prey (Paperback)
This collection has really proven that this can't possibly be how Joss Whedon saw the next season of the TV show because this is so all-over the place that viewers would have been disappearing super fast. I loved the Harmony Bites idea. Good stuff but threre was no follow through. Faith & Giles together is interesting but once again, not much happened. I hope the next trade amps up the story or I probably will stop reading this. :(

the worst issue ever...,
By David Muñoz "xmellykat" - Published on Amazon.com

This review is from: Buffy The Vampire Slayer Season 8 Volume 5: Predators And Prey (Paperback)
The issue is a mix of short stories that should have been deleted from the beginning, they're not even funny. the only bit that is interesting is the reappearance of Harm's character.... but that's it. The rest gets underwhelming and dull...
