I have to agree and say this is my least favorite Jo Chen cover. I think it's still great, she got Giles down perfectly, but Faith just looks werid. The likeness is great but the body is way too skinny. Also her neck is too long. I wish they were doing more then just sitting and standing there with a boring backround, it's not interesting.

Are we sure it's supposed to be Faith? It seems weird that Giles looks so fantastically right and yet the woman is so wrong. Giles is so perfect even down to the wrinkle has running vertically from his eyebrow. Did you know that in Chinese face reading that wrinkle means wisdom learned through suffering - that's so fitting

There's no doubt in my mind that it's Faith. I can tell it's her. I just think her face is off. Like the angle itself, I am thinking this is something that Jo Chen does with her art.
A few of the covers have problems with angles and proportions. Her work is great none the less though.

It must be hard for the artists, they have to get the resemblance right, but then they have to bring their own creativity to it. Not long now until issue 5 ;D

Yeah, I can tell it's Faith... Those dimples lol. I think the cover art is brilliant, based on the fact that it gets me intrigued on the issue, and what's going to happen.

I really like this cover, i think it looks really nice the art work on it is brilliant. And i read that they didn't want to make the characters look too much like the actors. It said they wanted to try and give the comic ground of its own. I mean look at the issue two cover Buffy dosnt look very SMG in it. Plus remember with the dress that Faith is wearing back in them days when they where the high of fashion they had corsets to suck all the flab in so its going to make her look thinner or her boobs a bit bigger.

Who, for the second TPB, really wants a Jo Chen piece that consists of Buffy and Faith standing back to back like the season 2 pic of Buffy and Kendra??? Maybe the rest of the scoobies surrounding them or something, but I believe this would be a really iconic piece showing the two MAIN slayers alligned...

I do hope that this cover art is the image before Jo Chen incorporates the logo into it as she has said that she does the covers in layers, as obviously she can't draw the logo as that would just be so hard to get it that accurate. So she digitally adds it on. The only thing is though, I can't see how it can be incorporated without it standing out on it's own...I love how she managed to make it a part of the environment on the cover!!!
Also, as the 5th issue had double the advertisements, it looks like there will be the usual 22 comic pages, unless Joss and crew decide to surprise us!!!

I was hoping for a longer story! Just more commercial breaks. That's like advertising a 2-hour episode of Buffy and giving us 1 hr and 15 minutes of commercials!

OMG just realised... if the one word subtitle has been digitally added with the logo, this may be the reason why the logo hasn't been shown yet and joss and crew are waiting till the ish is released till we find out!!! MAYBE...

Scott Allie said that a one word subtitle would be added after issue 6.

the issues are 40 pages, yes, but the stories themselves are still the 22 pages - count if you don't believe me. The books are only 40 pages, because there are more ads, and other junk cluttering the book since the Buffy Comic is such a hot commodity right now for advertisers and the like

I don't know... up until now, I've been really blown away by the covers-- as in, I-want-that-on-a-t-shirt blown away-- but I'm not so thrilled with this one. I think the problem is that it kind of looks like Faith has a lazy eye. Giles is spot-on, though.

I like this cover! I think that Giles' and Faith's likenesses are spot-on! And I like Faith in the dress. And the purple boarder looks cool too.
