Summary: Not So Fresh Appearances
Comment: 'Bad Blood' is drawn from BTVS comics 9 through 11, continuing the story of Selke, a vampire in desperate need of a makeover and yen for revenge. Buffy is responsible for Selke's loss in the looks department (see the previous trade paperback, 'The Remaining Sunlight'). Nor will the story end here. There are several more issues to go before the battle is completely resolved. Once writers Andi Watson and Joe Bennet find a good thing, there is no letting go of it.
'Hey Good Looking' (two parts) is Selkie's real dramatic entrance. Literally ruined by being toasted by Buffy, Selke sets out to restore her good looks and get even with the Slayer. While Buffy hunts ghouls the vampire looks for a good, but corrupt, plastic surgeon. Selke finds that being a vampire with a terminal skin condition does not command much respect. Poor Dr. Flitter!.
In 'A Boy Named Sue,' Buffy has to deal with a band member with overactive glands and a blood drive that is drawing vampires from all over Sunnydale. Selke's Dr. Flitter finally turns to magic and manages to... well, you will just have to read it.
An additional story, 'Hello Moon,' may be new to BTVS readers. Buffy meets a real Selkie during a walk by the seashore. After a rough start, the two discover that they have things to teach each other. Between dusting a few vamps, that is.
It would be nice to have the entire Selke series all under one title, but there seems to be little hope of that. There is simply too much of it. Dark Horse was trying to emulate the television series at that time and wanted a story that would run for an entire season, with all kinds of story arcs. 'Blood of Carthage' is the next largest series, but rambles considerably less.
As I have mentioned elsewhere, the trade paperbacks often simply reprise stories from the comics. Thus, for those who do not have access to the original issues, they can be a great treat. Do not expect a real graphic novel, though, just well executed artwork and an interesting story line. These are, after all, comics, and should be approached with that understanding. If you want more of Buffy than the shows and the novels however, the trade paperbacks are worth the price.

Summary: A Good Read
Comment: This trade collects issues 9, 10, and 11 as well as a bonus story. First off is a story entitled "Hey Good Lookin' pt. 1" which begins with Angel and Buffy having romantic times together in the graveyard. We see Selke (remember her from a few issues back?) all ugly and mangled and Buffy's mom is looking into plastic surgery at the same clinic as Selke. Buffy is also spotted by talent scouts at the mall who want her as a model (isn't it great when all the plot threads tie together?) In issue 10, part two of the story the plot thickens with Buffy looking into the modeling gig and worrying about her relationship with Angel. Selke is still at large trying to fix her mangled look. Then there is "A Boy Named Sue" in which Amy turns this annoying guy into a girl and Selke recovers her lost look. In the extra story "Hello Moon" Buffy has an encounter with a sea monster. It is a very good story. In fact, the whole trade is well written even though in "A Boy Named Sue" the artwork is somewhat lacking. A worthwhile trade.

Summary: this is very wierd
Comment: have you noticed, this says Buffy, Blood of Carthage but the reviews and picture talk about Buffy, Bad Blood??? Dont buy this unless you wanna get whole different book than the title.
