Hey... a guy had to get naked at some point... one panel of Angel and Spike barely cuts it. Oh I forgot them. *makes mental note: add Angel and Spike to the list*

Writing is great, pacing seems better in this than #26, which was my issue with that... uh, issue. Cool stuff. The art, though... wow. Really bad. Oz looked good in #26, but he looks like Andrew in this. And the person everyone is going to be excited to see looks like she's not that person at all.
Jeanty was great until the last arc, what happened? Why the change in style?

The art looks strange.
Also... hairball. *hack, hack*
Why's everyone just hanging out on his porch?
The 2nd-to-last panel is some of the best likenesses of Buffy and Willow I've seen in S8, yet. Love it.
Also, with that hat, Willow looks like innocent, pre-addiction, sunny disposition Willow again. For just a second I thought the panel was a flashback to S4. Btw, please god, let her actually be in a cute hat and a goofy shirt and a pair of pants for once, like Willow actually dresses...

Hmm. In the final few panels, it shows a girl in the back ground with a baby. If we all take the leap that Bay is the new love interest for Oz (as her seductive door-leaning suggests), does this mean that Oz could have a kid!?
EDIT: D'oh. Already been said.

Gee, this was Willow and Oz's big reunion scene... no swelling strings and slow-motion run across a meadow into each other's arms? Just Zen Wolf and the Witch in the Yellow Hat? Well, as I suspected, Oz has been getting his share of tail.

Oh my God! It's her! I'm so glad, even though it's just a cameo.
I do believe it's her first actual appearance.
If we don't see her in the Willow one-shot, I will be severely pissed.

Interesting preview. Very intriqued by the possiblity that Oz might be a father. Glad to see he's moved on with his life and not spent the last 5 years pining after Willow like a lot of people were suggesting.
I think people are being too critical of the artwork. Oz isn't perfect, Tara looked fine, and there was nothing wrong with Buffy in the last panel. Besides, you're all ignoring the most important thing; that godawful gorilla wolf has been retconned back to the hell it came from!!! There is a God! ;D

I think it's possible we will still see it. The tags on the photo say pages 5, 6, 7 and 8, so we still haven't see the first four.

Good, I thought there was a bit of a weird jump between this and the last issue.

Well, as I suspected, Oz has been getting his share of tail. Are we being literal here? Coz he did have a bushy tail in his mouth in one panel.

Love the previews!! if Oz is really a daddy it is going to make this arc really interesting! After reading the first issue of the arc I had my worries that was not going to be everything "Retreat"I had hoped for, but now I have hope again! Here is to hoping they treat Oz right!

I'd lol if the baby was named Prince. In this day and age, not unlikely.

The previews look amazing, really they do. The art isnt the greatest I have ever seen, but its not bad enough to affect how I feel about the issue itself. If the story is great, then I happy.
1) It's very sad to see that Oz was so upset about Willow for so long afterwards that he couldnt control the wolf and wanted to just "give in".
2) Willow is actually dressed like WILLOW! This is the best part of the preview!!! Im seriously ecstatic about this, thank god! She wore a hat when she first asked Oz out! Remember!?
