Every time there's new covers out, I promise myself not to look an spoil myself, but damn, I lose every time. But hey, tehy're awesome, who can blame me?
But doesn't Dawn look a little Willow-like(that is Dawn, right?)?
Also; How on earth did they get up on that ... thing(damn vocabulary)? And how did they bring tea?
And how will Oz be able to kill a werewolf with that itty bitty knife?
Drama, drama, drama.

Not my fave covers; I did have a hard time distingushing Dawn from Willow. I expect Willow because its an OZ story, but I see that it may be Daen based on the hair and the clothes.
Regardless, I can not wait for this arc. I hope I'm not setting myself up too much, cause I expect this to be the best arc yet!

It looks like Willow with Xander to me too. Pretty cover, either way.

EDIT: I'm gonna concur with AndrewCrossett that Oz won't show up until #27, at the earliest the end of #26 (that would make a great last panel). I'm gonna go out on a limb and say there'll be another Twilight encounter in #26. I'm sure Twilight will be in it (Warren and Amy too, I think). I'm not sure if they'll directly encounter Buffy & Co., but this is the issue where things need to REALLY turn nasty fast. In one issue we have to go from Buffy's Slayers doing group calisthenics on the lawn of their mansion, to having to flee to Tibet to escape Twilight. I think #26 will see the destruction of the new HQ and, possibly, a few Slayer deaths. I thought that might happen at the end of #25, but apparently they want the "Retreat" story to be self-contained (which makes sense from the TPB marketing standpoint). Agreed. It makes perfect sense. Though Buffy isn't taking her whole legion of slayers to Tibet to escape per se, the solicitation reads that she's going for Oz's help, because he can suppress magicks (though I'm wondering what kind of magick signature the spell cast to put that submarine up in the Tibet mountains left).

It's making me think so too. Ugh!! I do not want Xander/Dawn at ALL. Especially after re-watching Season 5...it's just creepy to me. Yes, I understand that she's an adult now, but it feels like reaching to me to try and move Xander to fall for her. I can see Dawn loving him, but after Anya...and Renee, I just can't see Xander being with any woman but Buffy herself. And that probably won't happen either. He needs a strong woman that isn't gonna get killed.

Can't wait for this issue! So excited and pump!
On Jo's cover. It looks like it's a Willow/Dawn mix. Willow/Dawn looks fake drinking the tea. Was the little versions of Xander and W/D really needed? Jo put the Japan flag on the sub. Yea. Go Asians! haha.
Jeanty's cover is really awesome, except the fact that the werewolf looks a little chubby.

I actually liked the little versions, it gave the whole thing a nice effect.

Why do people keep saying that it's Dawn? It's clearly Willow...

Hmm...I think that's Willow. I like the Chen cover a lot. I wonder how the sub got there...

Then I'm very disappointed in the artwork for this cover then. We aren't even supposed to be asking "who's the person on the cover"; it should be painfully obvious. Can someone ask Scott Allie in the Q&A for me please? (I'm already to my limit). I was so sure it was Willow, but I'm beginning to question it now. I actually hope it's Dawn, because having tea will probably segue into something else. ^_^

I'm always surprised when people have trouble telling who is who when new covers are released. Same thing happened with After the Fall sometimes as well. I've just never really had any trouble telling what characters are on each new cover.

I'm surprised people are confused. I didn't have any trouble figuring out that the first cover was of Xander & Dawn and the second was of Oz and what is most likely a representation of his inner wolf.
It makes little sense for Xander to be pictured with Willow considering he has had more story / interaction with Dawn. I'm also surprised that people are assuming that Xander & Dawn sharing a cover means their relationship is heading for romance. So far it seems like Xander is focusing on Dawn and her problems to help him cope with the loss of both Anya & Renee. The most I see happening is that Dawn's crush reignites and Xander has to let her down. I doubt he would cross that line.

Sorry, but I don't think that looks even the slightest bit like Oz.
I know it's supposed to be him now that the clues have been pointed out, but it doesn't look at all like him.
And I seldom have trouble recognizing Georges' character likenesses.

Me to. To be honest I think they are the worst covers so far I like these covers way more than WatG covers. I don't normally hold those in the same category because they weren't done by Jo Chen.
