You do make some good points ambersknight, however I think that Tara's death was completely necessary, since it clearly had a huge impact on the fans and the universe in general. Additionally, her death affected Willow's character development in a big way, so I think her death was extremely beneficial to the story. Also, in 'The Zeppo', we didn't witness the long time effects of Jack and the other zombies, which were also just that...zombies. It is possible that their skin could have deteriorated further and they were clearly all very aggressive, which I doubt they were to that extent prior to their deaths. Willow was most likely aware of that type of resurrection and wouldn't want that for Tara. Anyway, that's just my opinion.

I LOVE the magazine style cover. That's the one I'll be getting. I haven't got this issue yet but hopefully will soon. Can't wait! It's hard avoiding spoilers.

I did enjoy this issue, althoguh I thought there would be more. I find it difficult to believe that they would broadcast a human being killed on television. I thought Harmony would have her own chat show, and Buffy or a slayer would kill or at least wound her on the air. Although, the issue was pretty good considering. I loved seeing Clem again, and I loved the panel with Dawn having the horse try and mate with her haha, made me laugh.

That is such an outstanding cover by Jo! Giles' and Faith's likenesses are really superb. I'm very impressed.

Oh dear God! That's awful. What were they thinking?! This is the first year in six years that I didn't get the Buffy calendar, but I'm pretty happy I didn't now. I wouldn't have wanted to look at that for a whole month. Also, if it's permitted, could somebody who has the calendar post images of all 12 months so I can see them? I'd appreciate it, though I'm not sure what the copyright laws are so feel free to correct me. Thanks.

I always liked Riley. I can see him as a bad guy, with his semi dark past. I hope he's evil, and something pushed him over the egde. Perhaps Sam's death at the hands of a slayer? That would be interesting.

I think I agree that Dawn may be manipulated by Twilight and that this issue would be the perfect time to have this happen. The names...Dawn...Twilight...something's got to be happening there. And I am STILL convinced that Twilight may be Mr Maclay. A minor character? Yes. Though minor characters can have big impacts, and I think he had one. It would also be great drama for Willow and Kennedy.
And my hopes are too high as well!

Ew Xander and Dawn...please no. I think Dawn might turn into a doll as her final transformation. But I do hope she turns human again soon. Otherwise they might tire the story.

I had to read the preview, because I can't wait for this issue! I love the variant cover by Georges in the style of a magazine, and I think he captures Harmony's likeness very well. Also, in my opinion, Harmony looks nothing like Buffy. I will get Jo Chen's cover as usual though, because she captures Harmony's likeness beautifully. In addition, I love the 'Harmony Bites' logo and the Myspace page. Only a week and a half to go! Yay!

I love the cover of Angel saluting as he turns to dust! I am definitely getting that one! Aw After The Fall's coming to an end. I'm really anticipating the ending.

I have to say...that was the best issue so far in my opinion. I was hooked the whole way through. I was anticipating every single turn of the page. Groo is killed by Illyria! Connor is killed by Gunn! Illyria is taken down by W&H's army! So many things happened! And on top of all that Angel found out what his future may hold, and decided to take action, leading to the death of his son. Such good storytelling Brian. I was really impressed with this issue, you should be proud of yourself. And just so you know, I really can't wait until Issue #16!

What a great issue! I loved the simplicity of it. I think that having the odd stand-alone story that goes completely off-track is a nice touch to the season, and sums up what Buffy is really about: being versatile. I loved the artwork by Eric Wight, very impressive. I loved the season 1 dream story theme as well. Very nice ending too...very touching. Can't wait for Harmonic Divergence!

I didn't like Time Of Your Life. The first part was promising and did have a lot of potential. But by part 3, which was the most boring issue ever, nothing seemed to be happening. Then I decided to wait for part 4 to make up for it all, but it didn't deliver. It's a shame because I really love every Buffy story, on the show and in the comics so far, I think they are all amazing, however I think Joss should have taken this arc in a different direction. Only my opinion.

I think it was possibly the weakest issue yet. I was expecting more progress and it didn't further the story as much as I thought it would.

I believe the title means: Buffy's team is prey because they are hunted by humans Buffy's team is predator because they are going to hunt Simone. I think you're right. This title's great! I'm SO looking forward to this arc. I think this will build up to the final few arcs!

"That spin’s for govvers, not slayers. Something’s skew with that girl.” Is "govvers" another futuristic-slang word? What does it mean? Sorry for this stupid question, but I'm Italian, this arc is really confusing for non-english readers! Don't worry it's hard for us too. I think govver's might be a futuristic word...see even I'm not certain. I think this has been the weakest arc yet, not just because of the language, because I understand that times change. I hope part 4 makes up for it.

I think that the arm in the Fray comics saying that it's the end, is present-day Willow's arm reaching in to get Buffy. That way, too much has changed in Fray's future, wiping out that world's existence. That could be what is meant by the end with the image of the arm reaching into Fray's world.
