An
old friend of Spike's, Parnassus Jones, has come to Sunnydale
in search of the ultimate high. Putting together his own little
scene, an underground rave has started up, with Parnassus
selling drugs to the kids so that he gets the buzz when he
feeds off them. Rebellious Dawn has been sneaking off to these
parties, with Buffy continuously distracted and Willow and
Tara are too wrapped up in their own problems to notice...
Creatures
of Habit provides something slightly different for Buffy
fans, a hybrid of a novel and a graphic novel. The artwork
is quite nice, but it does give the book a 'kiddish' feel.
The story is also simple, but still interesting, and it reads
like a one-off episode from the series.
Set
early in series six, it follows the feel of the show, with
Buffy still confused from being brought back, Dawn being rebellious,
and Willow's magic addiction slowly showing its way to the
forefront. The baddies don't have much 'Umph' however, and
you don't get to hear enough about them to make them sound
scary.
Overall,
the book is a quick and simple read, not particularly bad,
but not particularly good. Perhaps it may be better if they
stick to one format rather than create a strange hybrid of
both.
