Well I still don't think it's a perfect likeness, but I think it's a lot better then his attempts in previous issues.

Willow's likeness is spot on, I think. I'm relieved that they're leaning away from Bander... even if I don't want him to be with Renee.
Although... we all know Xander's penchant for the demon-y girls... if he's going for Renee, I have to wonder if she's not what she seems.

YES! YES! A THOUSAND TIMES YES...NO BANDER!!! WOOO!!!! *(does a happy dance)* Finally confirmation, no Xander and Buffy, I think my heart just got beating again... And to mandikaye -- technically, Slayers' essence does come from a pure demon, so...technically demon-y lady magnet Xander is still attracting... I wonder why that lady thingy person is kidnapping the Willster? Are she and Buffy back on speaking terms by this issue? And why is Andrew at Slayer Citadel? And once again I say NO BANDER!!! :vampirebite:

Unless, of course, this is the thing that makes Xander "unattainable" in Buffy's eyes which, per Joss, is what she wants and eventually slingshots them into a relationship later in the season (as many of us have speculated since, oh, 8.02).
Wouldn't that just be a hoot?
I assume the lady thing is one of the Dracula-esque vamps teased on the covers throughout this arc, the female on 8.12 cover. That's almost certainly what the wolves are, too.
Hard to say if Buffy and Willow are "okay" at that point -- we don't know anything about what condition Buffy is in after 8.11. Although, just be the fact that Xander is pretty jovial, it's not likely that Buffy suffered damage to much other than her pride.
Andrew was probably recalled to the BHC because of Simone going off the reservation.

Great previews! And the bander thing could still work out.

I must have been the only one so far who new that Andrew was talking about Superman when Willow was flying with him, in the film Lois Lane is shocked to be flying and she asks the exact same question that Andrew does..........I missed Andrew. I caught that!

(And Willow's "If you start...I'm dropping you" threat cracked me up. Patience may be a virtue, but it's not one of Will's...)

Pretty good, just a shame we can't read the rest of the issue for almost 5 weeks!!!
Also I have to say I'm getting a bit bored of the whole "Dawn as a giant" thing, espcially when they're not really doing anything with it either. Every issue is just "hey look Dawns a giant..." and thats it. Either do something with it or I hope she gets resized ASAP

I think I remember Georges saying that Dawn would be getting her own arc soon, so maybe everything will be cleared up then. I love Giant Dawnie, but I miss regular-sized Dawn too.

OMG love this, the artwork and the writing! Just can't wait to see Buffy with her hair down!!! Is this actually the first 5 pages of the comic because the first page doesn't have the little box with the arc title as usual.
Also is this still Michelle Madsen on colours or Dave Stewart as I am unsure on whether or not Scott Allie meant Dave was leaving permenantly?

All I know is, is that I want Dawn to go back to being an important member of the Scoobies like she was in Season 7.
AND I DONT WANT BANDER TO WORK Out! Buffy and Xander should NOT be together.

I should remind you that Anya is coming back, so it's most likely Joss is completely open to screwing with Xander's chosen love interest. LOL I must have been the only one so far who new that Andrew was talking about Superman when Willow was flying with him, in the film Lois Lane is shocked to be flying and she asks the exact same question that Andrew does..........I missed Andrew. No, i got it too. THat's one of my favorite movies. But I HATE her speech/poem/song thing. I think I remember Georges saying that Dawn would be getting her own arc soon, so maybe everything will be cleared up then. I love Giant Dawnie, but I miss regular-sized Dawn too. Joss, PLEASE don't give the whiny little girl who own arc, PLEASE!

LOL Well Joss never really comfirmed Anya's appearence in Season 8. I watched the Comic-Con video and the question was something like, "Do you have a character you regret killing on tv?", and when he was done answering that he sort of regrets killing Tara, someone shouted Anya and Joss went "Oh, yes." Doesn't really mean she will appear in Season 8, even though hope she will in some form.

I've always wanted Anya to become an angel when she died. She was pretty good at the demon thing, maybe somebody noticed?

He thought someone asked if Tara was coming back, I believe.

Joss, PLEASE don't give the whiny little girl who own arc, PLEASE! This is irony, right? Because Dawn hasn't been whiny since the end of season six, and... not so much with the little anymore. I less-than-three her, though, even if she is a giant. They have to at least make a Cloverfield reference before they shrink her. MB x

Given the time frame I think the bookl takes place in, Cloverfield is probably a few years off. Plus, I doubt they can fit Dawn into a movie theater. For her sake, I hope they still have drive-ins in Scotland.

I like the preview, I think it's going to be an impressive arc from Drew Goddard. I've always liked his writing. I still have issues with Georges Jeanty's art, what is wrong with Xander's face when he smiles!??! Did a vampire deform his face since he left Sunnydale and you can only tell when he smiles. That is just creepy. Unfortunately he still can't draw Andrew well.
