Ah god damn it! Part of me wishes I hadn't already bought the single issues, cus then I could get that, maybe I still could, would that be wrong? Ideally, I would get the TPB of all the arcs, but like you I have bought all of the single issues. Also, to be honest, if I got the TPB it would be SUCH a long wait for new comics, I don't think I could cope.

I still dunno... I wanna get this, but then I did buy the issues alone and I don't 100% see the point of two sets... Though I do like the TPB alot more... *sigh* Buffy season 8 is going to be costing me alot more then the series ever did... Well I guess I don't have to fork out 50$ for DVDs...

I am going to buy both the TPBs and the comics. I don't have enough patience to wait for each TPB and the comics are nice to have in your collection. Also, the TPB should have extra features and they are also good to have in the collection.

Still, I like having the comics when they first come out and I like getting them in parts so we don't know what's gonna happen next. I've missed that with Buffy. And the waiting would seriously kill me. :vampirebite: The No Future For You TPB probably won't come out until around the beginning of next year. And by the time The Long Way Home TPB comes out, we will have only one issue left to complete No Future For You. I just can't wait that long lol. But I hope you all enjoy it when you get it, you'll have to let me know what the special features are and tell me how much I'm missing out lol.

OMG Scott Allie mailed me and told me that there wouldn't be any extras in the first TPB but is hoping to pull some together for the second. Or maybe he is trying to throw us off guard???

I don't really see what the big deal is about it. There aren't any extras in it, there's nothing new, just all the pages we already have. It's nothing I'll be rushing out to get lol. I'll get it eventually though, maybe. It has a fancy new cover! That's the big deal! *eye twitches*

You can get the poster on eBay. I already bought one that they gave out at ComicCon.
I can't wait to get this, it should be awesome. It should add a little more narrative flow to the first four issues which is nice. Unless you just read them all together anyways which you could always do.

I do want this in my collection so that I can put it with my other canon buffy stuff (boxsets and Fray) and can put my comics in boxes. Also, like I said, Scott Allie maybe trying to put us off their scent. Why would they need 136 pages? 114 for comic pages and 11 for all of the covers. Still 11 need filling.

The other 11 are probably for advertising and for Slay the Critics.

Yeah but they don't do slay the critics in the Trades and the adverts are kept to a minimum. The only thing I can see in this TPB is a speech thing from Joss welcoming us to Season Eight and the backstory.

I love how Xander randomly has a pickaxe for no reason on the cover: they could've given him a crossbow or a stake, but the pickaxe is just great. He never used one before (that I know of) and it isn't the most useful weapon, but it looks cool.

Well, I've been away from here for a long while... I decided to see what was up with the Buffy comic, and to my delight they've already made a TPB I missed the first issue, was mad that it was like $20 at the comic store I went to a few weeks after its release, and figured that if I couldn't start reading the comic from the beginning properly, that I would wait for a TPB. Thankfully they did one sooner than I hoped So... that image above with Faith on the cover (with "Faith" on the wall) is issue six? They're doing a sort of Faith arc within the comic, right? I just want to be informed when I go out to try catching up on the comic this weekend. Granted I won't read what I buy, unless I can get everything from #1 onwards in one shot

The first printing of the first issue is really expensive like you said, but since then it has been printed 3 or 4 times more, so the latest reprint is fairly easy to find.

It would be cool if they altered Warren's dialogue a little bit in the TPB to make his return less of a glaring continuity flaw (what with the first taking his form and all). It isn't really that important and it would probably cost a ton to change, but it would be neat.

I just got back from the comic book store, and bought issues 1-6. No inflated prices thankfully Different comic store than the other one I went to, as well. I noticed the older version of the first few issues (at this store, at least) did not have a left & bottom side bar. I picked up the ones that did (except #1, which wasn't there with the side bar) since it seems they will all have it. I don't care that much about collectibility, I just want to read the stories... can't wait to get into them!

I went to my local comic shop when Issue #2 was out to get the first 2 issues and they only had the second printing of Issue #1. I don't mind though, like you said, the fact that we have the stories is the main thing.

New colour or mistake? www.amazon.ca/Buffy-Vampire-Slayer-Long-Season/dp/1593078226I prefer this to the red and hope it is published this way. Who likes? I also agree that it owuld be neat if they sorted out the Warren mistake in the TPB just to make it perfect. It really was a huge mistake to make as Joss clearly planned for Warren to be the First in season 7.
