Covers: High Res: (click thumbnails) Solicitations: BUFFY THE VAMPIRE SLAYER: WILLOW Joss Whedon (W), Karl Moline (P/Cover), Andy Owens (I), Michelle Madsen (C), and Jo Chen (Cover) On sale Dec 23 FC, 40 pages $3.50 One-Shot Willow Rosenberg has worn many faces--a shy computer geek, a loyal friend, a passionate lover, a fierce Wiccan, and a dark Willow. Now in Season Eight of the critically acclaimed, award-winning Buffy comics series, Willow's powers have grown exponentially. She can fly. Teleport. And may or may not be immortal. All we know is that Willow went on a walkabout following the demise of Sunnydale, and she met a very sultry, extremely powerful serpent lady who seems to be the key to unraveling the mysteries of what Willow is, and will become. Joss Whedon and his Fray co-creator Karl Moline reunite for this special one-shot! Joss Whedon returns! BONG. buffyversecomics.blogspot.com/2009/07/willow-one-shot.htmlThere will definitely be a high res cover before we know it, so this post will be all types of edited soon. But if Karl Moline is doing the cover, I wouldn't be surprised if he were doing the art too. And check out how bad-ass he is at drawing Willow. Karl Moline for Season Nine! Coming, I assume, in November, as October solicits are out and December... well, that's winter time. ::PREVIEW::Preview courtesy of Newsarama. Unfinished page courtesy of Buffyfest.

Cool. I can't wait to hear who's writing this.

That cover is so cool! Thanks for sharing. Really hope Moline is doing the art. I wonder when this will take place... Before TLWH? Willow/Kennedy Anywhere But Here flashback? During P&P where she rarely appeared? Can't for more info!

That looks like the dress from The Long Way Home. I wonder if this comic takes place right before she shows up in that arc.
I like how Moline drew her in TOYL. I approve. *solemn pretentious applause*

I hope pre-P&P. We have enough one-shots happening in that time. I hope it's either leading up to her appearance in TLWH or just a between the episodes thing. I have a feeling/hope that Felicia Day is writing this, just... well, because she's an awesome writer.

Pre-TLWH would be my favorite option. We could maybe get some stuff on Kennedy's death and how Willow got involved with Saga Vasuki. It'd fill in a lot of blanks.

It's great that they're doing a Willow one-shot. I really want to know what's going on in her head these days.
I think us fans need to reconnect with Willow.

Re: Kennedy's death.
Eh. I hope it doesn't touch on it. It was pretty much a throwaway joke, sort of a wink at the fans, I think. It might be best if it stays that way.

I think we will find out more about Kennedy's mystical death at some point. Didn't Scott say we would? Can't remember. This issue might touch on that and the Saga Vasuki issue. I remember that sexy scene Moline drew of Willow and SV in ToYL. More of that would be... okay.

I thought that as well, but I think it's been confirmed we'll hear more about it. There could be an emotional story in there, especially if it's somehow linked to Willow's actions with Saga Vasuki.

EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee!!!!
I'm actually going to buy this! I love love love Willow. I've loved her since S1!
Unfortunately, I don't really like Karl's art. I would have much preferred Jeanty do this issue. He's got Willow down pat. That or Cliff Richards. I think he has the best Willow of all.
Sigh. I digress.
At least we're getting a Will One-Shot.
I really really really hope that Tara makes an appearance. At least in ghost form. I know Joss probably won't bring her back, but since this is kind of off the season 8 track, I don't think it'd be too much to ask for Willow to do some kind of spiritual guide something something and be able to talk to ghostly Tara.
Maybe we'd get an awesome Willow/Tara cover too!
I wonder if Jo will be doing a cover...

Has it been confirmed that this will not be in the TPB? I think I read that? if not I will have to pick this up when it comes out. (Which is not a bad thing.)

Very nice cover!! I am kinda excited for this issue! Which is odd because I have not been too excited for Season 8 for sometime now.

Some new info about the one-shot can be found in this interview with Scott Allie at SDCC '09. Apparently, Joss will be co-writing it, and yes, it's official, Moline will be doing the art. No statement as to an official release date yet, though.

I love this news. I thought Moline's Willow was great, even though I remember most people not liking it. I wonder who is co-writing it with Joss. Why not announce that?
