Special thanks to Undercovers, for sending this to us...from the Dark Horse 2010 Catalog! Remember you saw it here first! Cover (HI-RES)Blurb:Buffy Season 8 Volume 6 showcases the first retreat of the Slayer legion. Vampires have solid footing at the top of the totem and Slayers have been crushed to the bottom - in short, no one likes Buffy anymore... least of all this season's mysterious Big Bad, Twilight, who is hot on her magical trail! Now that it's the world against Slayers, Buffy must find a way to return the status quo to...status quo - and keep her girls alive long enough to do it! Enter Oz, the only person/werewolf Buffy knows who is down with the suppression of magic, and can take the Slayer army off of Twilight's magic-specific radar. With Oz's assistance the Slayers and Wiccans try to become "normal" through meditation and hard labor - although, not everyone sees the advantage of being magicless, namely, Willow, Giles, and Andrew. And they could be right; after all, is a peaceful life for a Slayer even possible? KEY SELLING POINTS:- Oz appears in Buffy Season Eight!
- Buffy the Vampire Slayer Season Eight artist Georges Jeanty continues his acclaimed run, and Buffy creator Joss Whedon continues to oversee this award-winning series as executive producer.
- The first three volumes of Buffy the Vampire Slayer Season Eight have combined to sell over 220,000 copies!

My God, what a gorgeous cover. Are Dawn and Willow missing though? That looks like Giles, Oz, Kennedy, Buffy, Satsu, Faith and Xander to me. Shame the others couldn't be squeezed in...

Damn... is that Buffy being driven away with her hands up? Who's that threatening her with a sword? Satsu?
If this is Empty Places all over again, I'm going to be pissed.

I think that's Buffy surrendering on behalf of her friends, not her friends driving her away. I hope so. It would be weird to have such a big spoiler right on the cover.

Buffy surrendering on behalf of her friends, not her friends driving her away. Correct-o-mundo!

I guess Satsu's pose is meant to indicate she wants to fight rather than surrender.

Omg, amazing! I hope all of the main characters are in the cover though, I can't really tell who the female background people are yet.

Definitely (from left) Giles, Oz, Kennedy, Buffy, Satsu, Faith, and Xander. Twilight looming in the background...
With his back turned to them...odd!

Oh... the military... Twilight... public in general... lots of candidates for who she's surrendering too. Or it's just a symbolic cover; i.e. hands up=surrender=retreat.

Maybe she is going to try to connect with the public? She's walking towards them, her hands up to show she's no threat.
Time to do some damage control and tell their version of slayers vs vampires. Before people start grabbing torches and pitchforks.

Anyone else think that the members on the cover would be an awesome CAST for the ninth season of Buffy the Vampire Slayer. Anyone? I mean, yeah, Willow and Dawn are missing, but with Faith, Satsu, and Kennedy? Awesome!! .... missing Willow tho

I think the cover is supposed to say how Buffy is at her wits end and is willing to suppress her magic and hide away or surrender, while the rest of the gang are much more reluctant to do so. Twilight is just in the background overshadowing the whole event mysteriously.
Love the cover - another batch of Jo Chen awesomeness!

The fact that Willow's not on that cover is very interesting.
The fact that Satsu IS on it is interesting also.
