Covers: (click for super HQ!) Written by Jeph Loeb, penciled by Eric Wight and Georges Jeanty, inked by Andy Owens, colored by Michelle Madsen, covers by Jeanty and Jo Chen.Comic-book writer Jeph Loeb was set to executive produce, alongside Joss Whedon and animator Eric Wight, the proposed Buffy animated TV series. While Buffy fans won't be viewing that show anytime soon, Loeb, Wight, and Whedon offer the next best thing -- a comic inspired by the animated series!
Jeph Loeb and Eric Wight take the reins on Buffy Season Eight with this very special one-shot joining series artist Georges Jeanty, in a twisted tale picking up from the time-traveling Buffy/Fray crossover.
40 pages, $2.99, in stores on Nov. 26 Dec. 10. DARK HORSE COMICS FOR NOVEMBERA Day in the Life of a Buffy Editor

Wow, that's weird and surreal. I'll be glad when the Fray bits are done with and we can figure out what this is about.

Ahhh! This is a great cover!

I have a sick feeling that part of the Fray arc will be delayed. Not even close to done with one of the issues? Not good. It could happen, it took two years for the original Fray run to finish.

Another stand-alone issue perhaps? Do you think Buffy will get sucked into the television in this issue? Or, like in Anywhere But Here, a possible glimpse of what's to come?

My favorite cover so far!! It's so cute and surreal!!! It remind me of a Rockwell. I love Norman Rockwell's paintings! EDIT: Wow! Scott acknowledged it is a throwback! How neat.

Nah, I think I read somewhere the Fray arc was pre-written, but they needed it to be set in the right moment. So, I don't think part of TOYL will be delayed. Probably a gap between 19 and 20, where 19 is released, the month after we'll probably see no new issue, and then a month after that issue 20.

Yeah, the scripts are done, but they still need to pencil, ink, color, letter and print. That is a lot to do in just a couple months. The reason why Fray was delayed so much was because of Karl Moline, not Joss.

I love the cover but on the subject of no script...YIKES!! I hope that if we do have to have a gap that it is not in the middle of the arc. That would be a HUGE turn-off for me.

At first I thought this "What the hell does this have to do with Time of Your Life?" Then I remembered that Time of Your Life goes from 16-19. So then I laughed at myself.
Anyways, I really like this cover, best cover yet.

Looks like the overall story is going to start off in present day, with Georges doing the art, then we get into high school, with the new art. Loeb is a hit and miss writer, so here's hoping. I'm guessing that Sale or Madiera is going to be the artist. Tim Sale's style could work for the cartoony thing.
