"The fight for free will starts now!

Alpha was the perfect product of Rossum Corporation's mind-altering technology, until he snapped, burdened by the dozens of personalities they'd downloaded into his brain. Now the technology has gone viral, turning the entire population into murderous automatons, and it's up to the psychotic Alpha and a small group of survivors to save mankind."

Just picked this up yesterday and really, really enjoyed it. Chambliss's writing is spot on and I really felt like I was reading Ivy/ies throughout the whole issue. Alpha's voice was a little off, but of course that could've been his 40 different personalities making it a little difficult to hear in my head (and it's been a little while since I've done a DH rewatch - gotta get ready for Season 9 first!).

All in all, Chambliss's writing now has me looking very forward to the new season of Buffy! 😀

I'll have more to discuss after a second reading...
 
It picks up a few weeks after the ending of the "Epitaphs" one-shot from a couple of months back.

If you check out the blogs on darkhorse.com, you'll see a lot of message from Ivy leading up to this. Really awesome, and I hope they include them in the graphic novel when it comes out.
