After what Oz said about 'once you start the process, you have to stick with it or it can be dangerous', I'm now thinking the shocker is buffy loses it and the inner slayer demon takes hold (see blue demon thing on 2nd cover) and as a result takes a human life and contemplates suicide.

Whoa! That would spark much debate, and I think completely plausible from what we've heard about this issue. Geez, I hope not, but a little part of me does

i'm expecting oz and mama oz, to die... them willow will take the baby, and them get away of buffy, cause being near buffy would bring danger for the baby... about the cover... i didnt like buffy's hand... it look like the "my germs guy" from scary movie... abou buffy being vamped... i just cant see that... it would kill the history... it would kill buffy(verse) for me... it would be one of those things, "let's get buffy vamped then its not gonna work out, so lets reset all"... very marvel thing... not joss... the shinny stake for me represents the power... like... its BUFFY the VAMPIRE SLAYER(the stake represents the vampire slayer) maybe andrew is twilight??? since his the only one whos not at the cover??? that would be a twist... (personally i dont believe that, but i like to cover all bases)

as a result takes a human life and contemplates suicide. That actually gave me butterflies in my stomach. If that happened, it would be the only time i'd cried reading the comics (bar connors death in ATF, i was close to tears then)

If that happened, it would be the only time i'd cried reading the comics (bar connors death in ATF, i was close to tears then) I'm now thinking that buffy will have to control her anger to make the anti-magic process work but as soon as she finds out Riley is in league with twighlight, in a moment of maddness she will snap (like willow in seeing red) and Oz in new moon rising (RUN) and thru no control of her own her inner slayer demon will take control and lash out at Riley and kill or badly injure him and leave him fighting for his life even though he is working for Buffy secretly. After the shock of realising her mistake this will put the slayer genie back in the bottle so to speak and with his dying breath tells all, he is still in love with her and he was on her side all along. At her lowest point the real betrayer Twighlight will reveal themselves (shock) put the boot in and some cruel twisted words that hit home, and this will then lead to her suicide contemplation. This is why twighlight has recruited riley even though he/she knows he is a spy, it was all a set up. hows that for a tear jerker , and it paves the way for sam to return for payback and revenge with a little help from d'hoffryn in S9

I think that Buffy being sired would be the ultimate destruction of the foundation of who Buffy is. She would no longer be Buffy, she'd be a Buffy shell with a demon inside. A soul-less thing. A move like that would completely turn me off to this series, and possibly even the show. It would completely sour everything for me, as to me, her being sired would be the ultimate loss, the ultimate fail for her character's journey! It would be too tragic and destructive to do, even from a financial standpoint. Destroying the title character in such a way is unfathomable to me. And don't even say "Well you think that, so Joss would do it", because a bad idea is just a bad idea!

I wonder how many people are going to drop this series in anger after #30 comes out.

Haha, just had a thought. What if the big shocker is that the Buffy we have been following isn't the real one, its the 'other' replacement. And *our* buffy has been dead since before season 8 started. Would you keep reading? haha

Theres something off about Buffy's other hand? And the white coat thing she is wearing. I could be way off, but as this cover has been released months in advance, the cover could be altered closer to the time, ive known comics to do this in the past to hold back spoilers. What if in that coat, and with her weird placed hand shes carrying Oz's baby? Its the perfect place for them to draw him in.....

i dont think it would be a fakuffy... this would be a little surreal... cause this would be a perfect copy of buffy... besides a vamped buffy, nothing would make drop the series... so i'm not one of those that after the #30 will drop the series...

Rebecca noted a few pages ago:
The scary blue monster thing (after a little research :wink:) is/may be the Tibetan Buddhist god Yamantaka.
Whow Rebecca, what a find! Thanks for the images - Karma!

Buffy being sired wouldn't make me quit. I'm in it for the long haul, but it would be a horrible line that I hope is never crossed! As I said before, that would be the assassination of Buffy as we know her. She'd no longer be Buffy Summers. It would be her body with a demon in it. A soul-less evil thing.
Maybe Xander is going to be sired, maybe Buffy is going to be bitten by a werewolf...therefore the 'transformation' will happen quite literally. Maybe Twilight kills Willow, why else would Buffy be without magick? I don't buy the whole suppressing thing. You can suppress all day, but it's still there deep down.

Yay... Slayerhood being used as a homo metaphor again? First was coming out. Now, it's all about suppressing and trying to fit in, or survive.

The A cover for this is actually quite nice. Not gob-smacking, but better than #29. The varient is pretty dull, reminds me of ATF #16. I wonder how many people are going to drop this series in anger after #30 comes out. Possibly more than after issue 12 lol. I'm all up for crazy direction changes, it's the continuity lapses that tempt me to call this quits.

i've always been with buffy so unless she turn a vampire, i'll always be with her
my theory now, its that they'll surpress the magic, but with oz family dying she's gonna be really pissed... like when she fought the uber vamp... *really diyng for issue 30*
