Or like the demons from the season 3 ep Anne, which were kinda like the Bringers. I swear those are the same demons that are in an early episode of Angel.

Wouldn't it be so good if the reason that Jo Chen couldn't do the cover art for this issue is because there will be some pages from the comic itself that will be drawn by her. It is a pretty special ish revealing who the Big Bad is or are.

Ha, it reminded me of that bad wrestling episode of Angel too. Hopefully they make this guy actually scary, and not a joke. It would definitely be interesting. Buffy's never had a big bad that was a strong, buff man before. Her big bads have always been either women or frail men (or, eh, "Adam"). It'll be interesting to see her pitted against a big, beefy, strong muscular man. I loved The Cautionary Tale of Numero Cinco. What's better than a mailman who is also a Mexican wrestler? Nothing! It was the most stupidly outrageous Angel episode ever in a sea of stupidly outrageous episodes, and for that I salute it.

It is a pretty special ish revealing who the Big Bad is or are. Phil recently asked Scott Allie, and I mean VERY recently, if Jo would be doing some interior art, and Scott replied that they would love for it to happen but they don't have anything it would be good with yet.

I like the cover, and though I LOVE Jo's art, I don't mind them using a different artist, just as long as they keep the painted style cause it looks damn cool. Some of the cover art from the Omnibus collection are so amazing, that I wouldn't mind if some of those artists make their way to Buffy season 8.
Though I would love to see Jo return.

I wouldn't worry too much about Jo Chen, I'm sure she'll be back sooner or later; she's probably just skipping a month to get caught up on her projects. She has been churning out a cover almost every month since the comic started, and she had a good while to get ahead of herself before the first issue was released; I'm sure by that point we'd seen the covers for issues 1 - 4, at least.

Alright, i emailed Jo and asked if she would continue doing the covers and here was her reply:
"I promise I'll be back after a while. In the meantime, enjoy Jon's covers. He's a great artist and a good chum of mine. Jo"

what a sad sad time for jo to be taking a break.
it seemed like she was really starting to hit her stride w/ cover 9 and 10 (the likenesses have been getting better and better!).
here's hoping she comes back soon and that jon foster can continue in her footsteps well.

Does anyone else think it's kinda weird that they have a stand-alone story in the middle of an arc?

I'm a HUGE fan of Jon's work. So I'm really excited that he's doing the covers. He seems to have a better grasp on the female anatomy than Jo. I'm in love with his color choice and the dynamics of the poses he uses.
Yay Jon! I hope you're staying with us for a long time!

Joss posted over at whedonesque about Jo Chen/Jon Foster:
"For the record, Jo told us a long while ago she would have to step away for a while due to previous obligations. We were really lucky to get Jon Foster to step up for this arc, but Jo is fine and coming back atchya for the next one."
So she will be back after the Xander arc I suppose!

I wouldn't be fussed if it was a long-term change. This is possible the best cover so far.
