Hey Everyone!
So, let's start with the beginning, let's start with Buffy Omnibus volume 1.
Buffy, the Vampire Slayer OMNIBUS, volume 1 is a Paperback/Soft cover book [6 x 0.6 x 9 inches/ 23x15 cm] with 318 pages. It is published by Dark Horse Comics [first edition: July 2007] ISBN: 978-I-59307-784-6
This volume, as the back cover states: is the ultimate compilation of Dark Horse's original Buffy comics and runs chronologically along the TV series' timeline.
This volume is considered as the "Year 0" because it tell stories from before Buffy went to Sunnydale, which some already include the character Dawn as her sister.
Introduction by the editor Scott Allie.
This volume contains: "All's Fair" Issue #3, a Spike and Dru one-shot [Script by Christopher Golden; Pencils by Eric Powell; Cover Art by Ryan Sook and Guy Major. (Originally published December 2000)
The three issues of the mini-series "The Origin", adapted from the movie script by Joss Whedon [Script by Christopher Golden and Dan Brereton; Pencils by Joe Bennet; Cover Art by Joe Bennet, Hector Gomez, Jeromy Cox and Guy Major. (Originally published January through March 1999)
The four issues of "Viva Las Buffy" [Broken Parts #51, Full House #52, Deuces Wild #53, The Big Fold #54] [Script by Scott Lobdell and Fabian Nicieza; Pencils by Cliff Richards; Cover Art by Paul Lee and Brian Horton] (Originally published November through February 2002).
The #55 issue "Dawn & Hoopy the Bear" [Script, Art and Cover Art by Paul Lee] (Originally published March 2002)
"The Origin" is the only story of this volume considered canon. Personally, I found this volume very interesting because of the "Year 0" concept, where you can watch Buffy before she was the Slayer, and before she went to Sunnydale. It doesn't harm the canon story, and I think it is a good complement and piece of entertainment if you like the show. It may not be great, but in my opinion it is worth a read.
