Buffy’s Oz makes the list of Best and Worst Werewolves in Comics

Thursday 11 February 2010, by Webmaster

Back before Seth Green split from the cast of Buffy to bring the world "Robot Chicken," Daniel "Oz" Osbourne was probably our favorite character on Buffy, owing largely to Green’s delivery of some of the show’s best dialogue. We’re particularly fond of the scene where he calls to find out if a bite he got while playing around with his cousin might have some supernatural aftereffects:

"Aunt Maureen? Hey, it’s me. Um, what? Oh. It’s, uh... actually it’s healing okay. That’s pretty much the reason I called. Um, I wanted to ask you something. Is Jordy a werewolf? Uh-huh. And how long has that been going on? Uh-huh. What? No, no reason. Um... Thanks. Yeah, love to Uncle Ken."

Unfortunately, Oz’s reappearance in the comics hasn’t had quite the zing of his television counterparts. We were really hoping to see some irony-laden werewolfin’, but when Oz finally shows up in Season 8, he’s given up his hairier side for something a little closer to zen mastery, and while that not only means that we only every get one panel of wolf-on-soldier action...

...it also takes away the sardonic wit that made us like Oz in the first place. Heck, we’re not even sure if he’s either of those werewolves in the panel above! Going purely by the comics, Oz just doesn’t cut it.
