The novelty of Buffy being back in comics, or any format, has worn off and this series worked its way down from Top of the Pile reading to somewhere in the middle. That's not to say it isn't a quality title though. Georges Jeanty continues to knock my socks off with his pencils (and ability to keep a schedule) and the writers have all been solid. It's just that we're in the middle of every plotline that's been going since #1, so the series is just maintaining.
