That is one hot Xander! I had every intention of waiting for the trade PB version of either the entire "season" or the bound chapters or whatever, but I'm thinking I'll have to have each comic. Oh my oh my oh my oh my oh!!!! **makes note to pre-order all the comics** **fans self** I'll be in my bunk. ;D

Or, as Spike once said, "That's the thing about magic. There's always consequences. Always!" Exactly! WILLOW: Think of it like, the world doesn't like you getting something for free, and we asked for this huge gift. Buffy. A-and so the world said, 'fine, but if you have that, you have to take this too.' And it made the demon. That's a gift with purchase.

Not for sure that this cover image is from the season 8 comics, 'cuz I'm not fully up on all the different comic lines that are available. But it's a damn cool looking image of Willow and so I'm happy about that no matter what it's intended for. Oh, and there's a spoiler image and plotline from Runaways (# 25) in the link too. If you follow that and don't want to be spoiled, don't scroll past the Willow image. Damn Cool and Sorta Scary Willow

Joss speaks about Buffy not really dating the immortal (a comment in the thread that Karen posted above). I just finished the last pages of this arc and here you are reading the first. Circle-y. I am serene and at one with the universe. And yet there's this term... 'wanked around'... Hmm. I love "The Girl in Question". I thought it was hilarious and relevent and everyone involved was at the top of their game. When I started writing the comic I had Buffy with the Immortal but it felt wrong. It was important for Angel and Spike to know she had moved on, but it was equally important for Buffy to be where she is in this comic book. And I realized Andrew WOULD have thought this up, and would have thought it was hilarious (plus the wink at the fact that everyone knew that was a double in the ep was fun). As for his input -- he was running the L.A. slayer unit in season 5 of Angel, so it's safe to assume he's got some cred. You could call this wank, but you could say the same about any retcon -- like Spike loving Buffy from the start and not realizing it, which worked for me just great, especially 'cause it had the chaos demon standing around with his antlers dripping (good times, good times). Anyway, it's idiotic for me to defend the work -- you either dig or you don't. But the part that keeps stopping me is this: why on Earth WOULDN'T George Lucas discount the Star Wars Holiday Special? "But... how do you kill a thing... that has no life?" Ranty, -j. joss | January 06, 23:38 CET Yes, it did feel wrong. I am really curious as to just how Joss will handle this in the comic though. Who knows what about when and how these comics will come out? I know nothing about Buffy comics, and have never purchased them. I am sure there is no place around here to buy them. Can they be bought from amazon, or . . . I am totally clueless.

I am glad to have some kind of follow up to S7 BtVS, and what little we saw of Buffy in S5 AtS. TGIQ was OK, but mostly a yawner to me . . . nothing new learned there . . . Angel & Spike have issues, they both need to move on, etc. And the idea of Buffy with a guy as . . . unimpressive, from what I could tell . . . as The Immortal was depressing. I remember Patti saying that what she liked least about TGIQ was that it ruined her view of what Buffy must be like post S7, and what she would be doing. In other words, it didn't feel right to her. Wish she was here to read that Joss is saying the same!

I'm not sure if it's from the new Buffy comic either, but it is a very cool and slightly wicked-looking Willow. The Runaway comic is very neat, too. I spent the better part of an hour catching up on all the links and the backstory for it. Love the artist. She's very good, and has captured SMG/Buffy perfectly in some of her sketches.

I've ordered from TFAW before, and have always had good luck getting my comics. $2.39 a month is a bargain. Just think of all the great Buffy discussions that could come out of them, too! The first one will be out March 7 and then they promise one a month for 20-30 issues. Hopefully, it will work out that way. Joss's Fray was a mess - so many delays, it was like torture waiting for the next issue. They seem to really want to stick to the issue a month plan.

You should get an email verifying your subscription if it went through.
