Run to your local comic shop and buy the first issue of the official season eight written by creator Joss Whedon himself and drawn by Georges Jeanty. With two snazzy covers:


main cover


variant cover

is it on the stands? how is it?

I think it's only in comic stores this week. Books usually take a few weeks before they hit regular newsstands. Forbidden Planet, Midtown Comics, Jim Hanley's Universe, St. Mark's Comics--you should be able to get it at any one of those places.

And I didn't get home until really late last night so I haven't read my copy yet. Will do so tonight. I already loved the two page preview posted a few months back. I still think it's hilarious that the Buffy that appeared in the last season of Angel was revealed to be an imposter posing as her for security purposes.

forbidden planet is right by my jump from the 4 to the L, so i am going there on my way home tonight.

cborgman said:

Let me know how it is! I'm not picking it up until I'm finished with reading other stuff first.

applekisses said:

How long will that take? I don't want the book to sell out on you.

Will this be made into something more?

sextonseven said:

Maybe I should get it now, then! Plus, now that I'm addicted to "Dogwitch", thanks to a certain gentleman , I've got to get the next one of those

I doubt it. No one seems interested in doing a movie or TV special right now and the animated series was pushed for two years and got nowhere. This is all Buffy fans are gonna get.

applekisses said:

I have these:

sextonseven said:

OMG...those are so awesome!!!!

Do you actually use them or are they on a shelf?

applekisses said:

I use them. I drank in one last night.

However, because they are used, some of them have scratches from my dish rack.

sextonseven said:

They are really, really cool. Are they blue glass?

applekisses said:

Yes. And when you pour cold liquid into them, the etchings become transparent.

sextonseven said:

How cool!!!

I'm a big Violet fan now. I need to get that third book! This weekend I'm going to stop by Green Brain to see if they have it.

I read my copy last night.

WOW
WOW
WOW

Two of the scoobies make an appearance in the first issue and there is a surprise villian that longtime Buffy fans will know. It's interesting to see how the characters have changed since the series finale a few years ago.

GO BUY IT!

sextonseven said:

i am going shortly!



was gonna get it last night, but was at work untill 10:30. ugh.

cborgman said:

You'll love it! Enjoy the series while you can because I've read there will be a proper ending as if it was a real TV season--maybe 30 issues or so.

cborgman said:

And be careful in this snowstorm!

sextonseven said:

i am getting every issue. i hear it is a runaway success and already going into 2nd printing!

sextonseven said:

isn't this shit insane? it was really warm, now it is a bad snowstorm.

cborgman said:

I'm such a fam, I bought both covers of the first issue.

sextonseven said:

i am having to fight myself to keep me from buying a poster of the cover.

it won't match the art i paid hundreds for in the bedroom.

Now I know why ella is back. She saw the title of this thread.

cborgman said:

If the second printing has a different cover then I'm buying that one too.

cborgman said:

That's okay. If not for framed posters, my apartment would practically have no art on the walls at all.

i think i'll wait for the TPB(s)

The first Cover rocks.

The second cover looks too cartoonish for my taste.

The story thus far is nice some great set-ups.

Loving Dawn!!!!!


Cheese please!!!
