I finally got mine today and I loved it, I thought the TV commercial with Andrew & Vi was funny. It was good to see Rona in the comic also. I thought it was emotional that we got introduced to one of the decoys but didn't get to know much about her before she died.

Hey, buffysmglover!
I was just thinking of ways to incorporate Buffy and the gang into the story. I have an ending as well...
BUFFY, XANDER and WILLOW were sitting, talking about so and so. The phone rings and BUFFY gets up to answer.
-NOTE- There is no background music throughout the whole of this scene.
BUFFY: Hello? (pause) Giles hey--
(You cannot hear Giles speaking)
BUFFY: (a look of dread fills her face) Thank you
She puts the phone down and turns to her pals
XANDER: What's the what Buff?
XANDER and WILLOW both look concerned for their friend
BUFFY: It's Janie (I chose that name as I thought it suited her)
The camera turns to XANDER and WILLOW
BUFFY: (OFF CAMERA) She's dead
A look of concern fills the faces of the Scoobies
The camera turns back to Buffy, she looks down in misery
FADE TO BLACK

But I dont think her name was janie. I alreayd posted a topic about a dead jewish Janie Kleinman. but even so, there's not enough proof on who the real Janie is.

Yeah I know but there were discussions about what her name was with Mikey and he thought of Janet and I always liked the name Janie for her ever since I read the final page, so I just stuck to it.

I liked this issue! I think it was great of Joss to tell a story like this. Very emotional. And I liked the fairies and slugs and ravenclaw people and leafblower thiings. It just goes to show that you can never know what you may find underground. :witch:

agreeage. I love the fairies and Slug things. I don't get why some people don't. I herd some one on another forum say it wasn't very Buffy-verse but how do we know that i mean theres like hundred more demons, monsters etc in the Buffy-verse we have not seen yet, plus i always though that Joss should have fairies in the show at least once and now we got them.

At first I didn't really understand them because I thought that they didn't exist but then I realised that anything can happen in the Buffyverse. :witch:

Well finaly got around to reading this ish. So far I feel this is the best one yet. Although BKV's run will change all that!(The 1st 5 pages of his 1st issue are AMAZING!!!)
So, I know a few people may remember that I am quite critical of this series thus far and really felt like the first arc fell flat, but I really enjoyed this issue. FINALY got more than a 3 to 4 word sentence out of the characters. Best writen issue yet...maybe Joss just needed to warm up a bit before this thing actually got good.

I couldn't wait to read this issue when I got it, so I rushed through and had to re-read, but I was very impressed. Andrew's commercial was great, although I didn't realise that the girl was Vi at first. Plus, no more lousy skip months for a while.

I personally loved this installment. It didn't move a lot of plot or anything but it was very moving. I think it's bold to introduce a new character upon their death and I think Joss made it beautiful.

First off- starting off in media res saved this . I was starting with that anxious gut feeling because I had heard this was about her 'short career' and for a Slayer, that only means one thing. That we saw how she died right away saved that endless- is this going to be it? - feeling. For some reason I fell in love with the fairies. I might be a freak, nabi I think it was the scene where the faerie says she didn't lay her eggs in her inner ear canal for her to die. That short little interaction reminded me of spunky off- base but beloved Anya. Other than that- WTF faeries and slugs? How did they learn that there were real faeries and sentient slugs and why do we care? I get that the 'Big picture' allows all good things to have a fighting chance and a Slayer on their side, but sending one lil' lone Slayer with her backup obviously too far away to help? I fell for 'raven haired Buffy' and we lost her. One thing that I *loved* was the animation to show the whole depth of the 'underground' issue. In the light, the Buffy double was radiant and beautiful, clean and innocent. Underground and in deep undercover, she was ferociously gorgeous with that desperate, savage glint in her eyes. For some reason that whole tale seemed to not make me entirely depressed because that one little faerie loved the 'Buffy' even though she was loving a lie.

I think the commercial sounds like something Andrew would plan himself, without authorization.

So, all three covers are off of TFAW.com. Possibly all sold out? Possibly a new printing in our future? Anyone have any word?
Personally, I loved the manipulated versions of the first two issues. I was really hoping they'd continue that with the series, but alas... I guess graphics only belong in the buffy-web-verse.

I just read this comic. Just here to say its amazing. I was a little confused at first but read over it again and understood it. I would loves to have seen it as an episode. It was amazing and action pact with twists, turns and flashbacks. Im only at issue 5 and its my favourite so far
