I'm definitely going to buy this, but I find the art a little too abstract. On the same note I find Georges Jeanty's art in Buffy to be a little on the cartoony side. I'd prefer somewhere in the middle. Some of the older Buffy/Angel comics had such beautiful lifelike art.

I don't really mind either artist, but I'm not crazy about them either. Of course, we've barely seen the Angel art at all, so it's a little early to say for sure.

I know what you mean, I've been reading the old Buffy run and I think Paul Lee and Cliff Richards do the best art. They capture the characters so well, and the likeness to the actors is astounding I would love for one of them to take over Buffy now.

I can't wait because I really liked his art in the old Buffy comic run.

As far as old Buffy comics go, I've only read Origin, which was bad. Is the Omnibus worth checking out?

Some other stories that haven't been collected that way yet are 'The Death of Buffy' which is my favourite comic, the cover art is so amazing, and the story fills in the interval between season 5 and 6 really well. 'Haunted' by Jane Espenson is a great story. Good art, a cameo by Faith too!

The Omnibui are great! I too couldnt stand the Origin. Horrible comic to start with. And it was my first buffy comic, lol.

I'm excited about this comic too, when does the first issue come out?
Also he was either talking about Cordelia or Fred, I think it was Fred but either way I really don't think it was Buffy.
I just can't wait to see what happened with the big fight, I think we all wanted to know.

I just re-read the preview... it would seem that the dragon doesn't have front legs! Considering some of our cover idea submissions... there's a major "whoops!" I guess it could use its wings as hands... kinda... like a bat? Maybe I've seen other pics of dragons using its folded up wings kind of like an arm or hand. McFarlane's Dragons maybe?

None of it makes the slightest sense to me! But I will be buying this and following the story...I really can't wait :-)
I just love the last page of the preview - angel on the dragon, with scary hell LA beneath. Anyone notice the horrible mouths? Ugghhhh

I'm a little confused about how the dragon fits in now. We see Angel working with it, but the cover to issue 3 shows Illyria looking intent on killing the dragon, and the variant shows her intent on killing Angel. Maybe the most-voted on exclusive cover for issue 2 fits?

Really looking forward to this series!! I'll make my mind up when it comes to the Dragon after I've read a few issues. Thought I'd bung this in here as it's relevant, sorta. It's my own take on an issue one ATF cover artwork. *g* Click to enlarge.

I just finished watching Not Fade Away for the first time a few minutes ago, and I'm almost positive the girl he was talking about is Buffy (since Wolfram and Hart took away his chance to become human and be with her again... jerks). Fred and Cordelia don't really make sense, since Wolfram and Hart wasn't really involved in either of their deaths.
