You make a great point Bennyboi. The majority of things that are happening are things they couldn't have pulled off on the tv show due to budget restraints. But they are probably things they may have liked to have done as buffysmglover said. It is a little hard to grasp but I think its great really. Now Buffy and Angel can be on an even more epic scale than they were on tv. The only thing I'm pretty sure they can't do in the comics a musical issue, Once More With Feeling 2. That would be awesome but impossible.

Also, I wonder if Cliff Richards art has changed since he finished the original comic series has finished? he'll probably adjust his art so it looks more cartoony like jeanty's. does anyone know how many issues cliff will be doing? is it a one-shot like the Chain?

OMG somebody over at TVguide.com said that if you look closely at the image, you can see an aircraft in the background? I can't find it!

The title has been posted on Dark Horse's site.
I added the Georges cover in HQ on the first page. It was emailed to us from Georges himself. It is unfinished, so it doesn't have the Buffy logo on it or anything. Also it is a new style in that it features penciling only, no inks. It gives it a softer look.

One of the letters in the back got me thinking... the person said that after reading issue one, they thought Amy's creepy boyfriend was Adam. For some reason, that made me think of how the First was able to take Adam's form (as the whole Adam, not any of his various parts) despite the fact that he was essentially a machine (as far as I was able to tell). He was not truly alive, but the First could copy him anyway. Suddenly, it doesn't really seem strange that it was able to copy Warren. It's powers were really undefined, even then.

I always took that as, since all the parts Adam was made up of were once alive and died, the first could take the form of those people/demons as they were assembled for Adam. And all the machine parts were just like clothing. Buffy didn't die in all the different outfits the first had her in, and it's not like the clothes died, but the first was still able to project her in those.

I really like the alternate cover with the fan winner drawn in.

He was not truly alive, but the First could copy him anyway. Suddenly, it doesn't really seem strange that it was able to copy Warren. It's powers were really undefined, even then. The way I choose to understand it, is that Amy is helping Warren stay alive. Her magic is his "skin", therefore he is not truly alive. He is also not legitimately dead. It's as if he's on a life support machine. She's the only thing keeping Warren alive, so The First can take his form. I agree with your comment of The First' powers being "undefined", like when he super powered Caleb, is that what it did with the original Uber vamp? Is that why it was stronger? How did it do that? So yes, there are still many unanswered questions regarding The First.

It never occured to me that the first uber-vamp might have been so nasty because the First powered it up... I just assumed that it was another weird inconsistency (and, really, I think it was) but that makes sense.
Also, I understand that Joss openly admitted to messing up with the Warren thing, and I'm fine with that, but it doesn't really bother me now (not that I ever had a huge problem with it, but even so...)

I wondered who the other girl was in the variant cover. I was thinking...hmm...who is that? Then, I remembered the contest they had, and I'm interested to see how Joss and co. have incorporated the winner's story into the character like he said. My first reaction at seeing the woman was...why is Lucy Lawless on the cover? LOL.

The cover is beautiful, but it has kind of an ominous tone... Hmmm...
