What do you guys think? Best: There have been some sweet storylines, Anywhere But Here, Jeanty's artwork in issues 11-15, new character development, the stand-alone issues, oh! and the troll demon thing in issue 9!  . Worst: The fact that the newest members of the scooby gang are already gone, Faith/Buffy not friendship, Giles/Buffy not talking, Willow flying (not all that bad, but I don't know how much I like it) |

The Good: Pretty much issues #5-15, Giles and Faith working together, Wolves at the Gate, Dracula, Buffy/Xander panels, Twilight.
The Bad: Giles/Buffy strife, Buffy/Faith strife, hell even the Buffy/Dawn issues were annoying.

The best: Issue 5 and Dawn beeing a giant(so funny). I also like that she finally has a life(even if that made her into a cheat). It was always so depressing seeing her trying so desperatly to be a part of the Scooby Gang. Love Satsu, the sex and her personlity & her style.
The worst: Dracula's hold over Xander. I want to know how much of that is friendship and how much is thrall.

Best:
Buffy/Xander interaction(feels most like the show)
Faith development
The Willow mystery(I like mysteries)
Worst:
The lack of Giles
The seeming lack of concern that Dawn is a giant(I mean,Willow is so powerful,you would think that something could be done)
Still not sure of:
Buffy/Satsu(with all the talk of Buffy using her like she used Spike and consequences and such,I expected more that what we got.Although if it was just supposed to be just a fun experiment,it was done pretty well)
Please note that as we get further into the season,these may change(I mean,they could explain something that would cause me to alter my thinking on these)

Best: It just keeps getting better. Also, there was a dwarf.
Worst: Just not enough of it. Plus a lot of important story points are taking f-o-r-e-v-e-r to unfold.

Best: The Faith Arc, the character Twilight, the suspense of what's to come.
Worst: No explanation of what happened to General Voll, and alll the characters still keeping secrets from each other (you think they would have learned by now!).

I just don't understand how Willow could come face to face with Warren and not have ANY kind of reaction out of her. No "Oh my god, I can't believe I did that to him" or "I was so scared" or anything. I was a little disappointed that she never really showed any emotion or Even a facial expression, it all seemed very un-willowy (imo) |

Well, Willow did mention Warren in Anywhere But Here, saying he's part of the reason why she wont bring Kennedy around Buffy. She even cussed!  |

I wasn't even sure if that was pre-Season 8 or not. I mean, you think she would have mentioned the whole him being skinless and torturing her thing. I think that's the problem with Anywhere But Here, a lot of people don't know what's past and present, it wasn't explained well enough. I took the Willow/Kennedy scene as being after The Long Way Home because Willow says, "Until I saw Warren, I didn't realize it, but...", and then she goes on about how her and Tara could of been happy if Buffy stayed dead. |

The Best:- Andrew (esp. in WatG) - The Faith/Giles interaction in NFFY - Satsu and Renee - Buffy/Satsu - Xander/Renee - Ethan Rayne - Xander as Nick Fury - The Japanese vamps in WatG as the most interesting villains in awhile - MechaDawn... - ...and pretty much every single bit of 8.15 - The scenery around the castle - Jeanty's art, Jo's covers The Worst:- The rewind on Buffy and Faith's relationship, back to seething hatred (at least on Buffy's part) again  - Giant Dawn - The return of Amy and Warren - The 'funny' reveal that Willow's fine, after everything Warren did to her - The unnecessary David Lynch-iness of "The Chain" - Cliff Richards' art, Jon Foster's covers (with the exception of #12) - Jeanty seems to have completely lost the ability to draw Dawn, who he was actually doing a decent job with at the beginning - The hints that this season might turn into a Political Message From Joss Whedon

Maybe the reason why Willow is fine has something to do with Ms. Snake Lady. Maybe, but we didn't know that at the time (and still don't), so when it happened, it felt like a lame 'cheat' that was played for the laugh. As a writer, you walk a fine line at times between wanting to surprise the audience and not let them in on stuff that happens later in the story, while at the same time not jumping so far ahead that something just seems dumb and implausible. If you're right and it did have something to do with Saga Vasuki, then I think Joss out-jumped the story in this case... especially given the comic format, where it comes out once a month and it was going to be well over a year before we learned anything about Saga Vasuki... |

Best: Brian K. Vaughn, Jo Chen, Giant Dawn, and Georges keeps getting better and better. Oh, and Joss, but he IS Buffy.
Worst: Warren-I wish he's stayed dead.
