"Time of Your Life" is the fourth volume of Buffy the Vampire Slayer Season Eight trade paperbacks, collecting issues sixteen to twenty of the comic book series.
Synopsis
Willow and Buffy head to New York City to unlock the secrets of Buffy’s mysterious scythe, when something goes terribly awry. Buffy is propelled into a dystopian future where there’s only one Slayer — Fray, the title character of Joss Whedon’s 2001 series, the first comic he ever wrote. Their uneasy alliance falls apart, leading to the death of a major character from the TV series, while back in the twenty-first century, the Scotland base falls prey to a mystical bomb courtesy of the Biggest Bad — Twilight.[1]
