That's cool, really love it! That must have been the cover that Scott mentioned...he said there was a cover coming up that the actress wouldn't have done if it was the show.

Very cool! I hope that is the cover, but she looks like shes IN the fire (which would fit with the ' actress wouldn't do it' thing. Does that mean they are killing Faith off?

I don't think Joss would let them kill her. She might be moving on. Getting out of the Slayer Bizz. But I could and have been wrong before.

I can't wait to start reading the Faith arc. The new cover-art is making it even harder to wait!!
I don't think Faith will be killed off. But I think she might try to get out of the slayer business. Sounds like she wants to...and this may be her "swan song" type of mission.

Which begs the question: I wonder what Eliza will think of it when she sees it? I'm sure she hasn't been reading S8--probably doesn't even know it exists--but a cover like that... it'll eventually get back to her, somehow. A friend will see it (or hear about it) and show it to her. Or someone will ask her to sign a copy at a convention. I'd love to be there to see her reaction when it happens... Oh, and I think it's a pretty fair bet that when we see the entire thing, the flames will curl up above her head into the BtVS logo, a la Willow's magick on #3...

Actually, she should know it exists. Doesn't darkhorse have to run the likeness of Faith by her before they can allow it?

Well Jo said before she had to 'audition' with SMG in terms of the likeness, but I think it was a one-shot deal. Same prob went for other actors - so I don't think each cover has to get approval for a likeness like the figures do. And even though she's naked, since you don't see anything, I guess it would be no different then any other outfit they draw her in. If their was nudity I guess that would be a different story.

Actually, she should know it exists. Doesn't darkhorse have to run the likeness of Faith by her before they can allow it? Like JBrow said, Jo Chen had to get approval from SMG's "people" before they signed off on her as the cover artist, but I got the impression that was something special in her contract as the star of the show. I don't recall reading anything else about her having to pass auditions with any of the other actors' camps before she got the gig, just SMG. In fact, I'd swear I read (very recently, in fact) that at least one or two of the other actors (I'm thinking Aly, but maybe Nick, too) had no idea this S8 thing was even going on until just lately, well after the series had already begun. True, Faith isn't entirely visibly naked on there, but that's about as close as you can get to it, and Scott Allie flat-out described it as something "the actress never would have done on the show." And it's not like it's a crappy likeness of her, either--like I said in the other thread, that's up there with Chen's work on Dawn (#4) and Giles (#7) in terms of just completely nailing it. Dead-on perfect. Only reason I even bring it up is that Eliza has been so outspoken about never wanting to do nude scenes in her films, so I'm just curious about what her reaction might be to having her likeness, 94% naked, splashed across 150,000 comic book covers. Personally, tho, I think it's gorgeous--Chen's best work yet. Looking at the other wallpapers on the site compared to the full-size cover art they came from, the wallpapers are pretty-well cropped (as you'd imagine, to fit on a 4x3 desktop), so I'm really looking forward to seeing the entire thing. Hopefully there's more both above and below, 'cause I'm trying to figure out what that thing behind her could be, and there's just not enough visible to even guess at right now... --edit-- Just doing a quick check, only about 1/3 of the cover art is shown in the wallpapers, so when we see the rest of it, that might give us a better context of where she is...

Zomg didn't realize she was nude. though she was wearing a top. I cant believe Faith may want to hang her slaying up i though she liked it more then Buffy. I mean she enjoys it more. Though she would have been doing it for a lot longer then Buffy would have been.
I love the cover, i was on that site other day and saw it but i just though it was a old one i didn't realize it was going to be the next cover for the Faith arc well part four cover.

Is it wierd that my comic book store knows me by name whenever I call in? They've been saying "Is this Tim?" And I reply"...yeah." The other day the guy was about to hang up after I pre-ordered Issue 6 and I said"Wait, dont u need to know my name?" He said"Tim right?" Its wierd. I called and pre-ordered ANGEL: After the Fall Issue 1 today, along with asking them to hang up a SlayAlive ad I am sending them, and they knew it was me, again. I asked them how and they said I was the only one who ever contacted them for pre-orders either online or on the phone. EVeryone else goes in and fills out a form. LOL

Don't worry, when I walk in the day the new comic comes out, the dude who works there says, "Buffy, right?"

lol. My local comic store is wierd, in a way. 2 years ago, they were FAST EDDIES. Then they became JIM'S SPORTS CARDS & GAMING. Now they've moved and they're MAIN STREET COLLECTIBLES.

I work at a mom 'n' pop grocery store and I do that with cigarettes. "Oh, here comes Kent III guy," or "Two packs True Menthol 100's lady." Retail is a pretty boring outfit, so having little consistencies like that is, of all things, exciting.
