Actually, I think I'm going to buy the TPB when it's released later in the year or next year.

Will there ever be any more monthly breaks like with The Chain? I hope not but I'm just asking. Or will there ever be 2 issues in one month? I wouldn't mind this happening haha. Thanks for your time Scott.

You beat me to it Mikey! I cannot believe a new Buffy game is being released! Post-season 7 as well! Although, I don't own a DS. If only it was on the Xbox 360... Still fantastic news though. Might open up more opportunities for games on other consoles.

I REALLY don't think the enemy is Dark Willow. It's more likely Drusilla. Vampire - can last hundreds of years. More sense.

I just read this issue and am blown away. One hell of an issue! (no pun intended) It was so action-packed and we find out so much. Loved Angel's dream at the beginning, it really shows that he feels like he's going to turn into an old man, while Spike lives on as the hero, with Connor at that. David Messina's art is great to depict the dream too. I loved the Angel/Nina scene, however I couldn't tell it was Nina and needed to be told, which we were, but still. Although, I prefer Nick's Nina to Franco's Nina. Lorne's dialogue makes me smile every time he says something witty. Also, I'm glad that Gwen and Nina are very much still a part of the series. It's interesting that a Connor/Gwen thing might start up. The moments with Illyria this issue made me LOL. And the Drac wannabe vamp made me LOL too. I love how the situation can go from comedic to serious like when Connor, Gwen and Nina find out that Angel's human again and Connor tells him a few truths then runs off. What a reaction. The parts with Gunn, Betta George and the slayers were really cool. I love that they followed the question that Betta George asked at the end of First Night part 2. And George's powers growing. I mean freezing people and getting into their heads like he did with Gunn and that woman in Las Vegas. Also, the murder to the slayer at Gunn's hands was brutal, but very effective. The Wesley and Spike scene was nice and needed as Wesley needed to know that nothing romantic was going on between Spike and Fred-Illyria, and that he's only trying to protect her, which Wesley is grateful for. And L.A still in tact?! Can't wait to find out more about that. Finally, Angel and Gunn meet for the first time after Gunn is turned. Cannot WAIT to find out what's in store next issue! Loved the pace of this issue and the TV-show feel to it. Bravo on the writing Brian, very well done, as well as Nick Runge's art too.

It sounds a lot like Dark Willow and Drusilla, but I'm leaning more towards Dru because of the variant cover for issue #17 has a woman standing next to Harth, in a dress that looks like something Dru wears. Then again, Willow is wearing lots of flowy dresses lately, so who knows maybe this is why, to confuse us. Great covers though. Love the Magic-filled Willow angry watching Buffy being betrayed I'm gonna guess. I mean, what a fantastic Willow likeness, even the little Buffy one looks really good. Brilliant stuff as always.

I think everyone's confusing 'This Year's Girl' with 'Who Are You'. But this 'This Year's Girl' moment is cool: Tara: Face-punching, I'm not so good with the whole..(Imitates throwing punches rather badly) Willow: Swimming? Tara: Violence.

Hi Scott! Thanks for clearing that up. I wouldn't want a spin-off either to be honest.

Did anyone see it on Saturday? I felt really bad for what happened to Donna.

So did anyone who purchased the TPB's notice any differences between that and the individual issues? I'm just asking because there were a few errors that were corrected for 'The Long Way Home'.

I don't think it's that she doesn't trust Joss, just more that she has her worries and doesn't want to ruin something that was so great as is. I mean it does happen. You push something too far and it loses it's respect or the essential that made it so good. So I understand where she's coming from.

I don't think Dawn ran inside. She's a centaur! She belongs in the stables. But seriously, she just ran into the open fields or somethin'. I just looked and you're right. My bad.

Her artwork can only be described as amazing and magnificent. There are nearly no other words that can express how wonderful her covers are. Love the work Jo.

I know I'm extremely delayed, but I finally got this issue today. And it's such a fantastic re-introduction to the main story, after waiting so long for it to be released. The Hagan shaft's killing the Lords was brilliant I think. And at the hands of the Loan Shark, him being sneaky and a dealer and all was just brilliance. The return of Fred wasn't explained but hopefully will be in future issues. I loved the big battle feel to the issue much like issue #5. The Hyperion was great to see again and I'm glad that's where our gang will be again now. I also loved the last panels with the exchange of Wesley and Illyria/Fred at Wesley's body, where Illyria got emotional over him. I feel sorry for Illyria because she must feel so torn with Fred's feelings and hers mixing. Much like when Wesley died in her arms in 'Not Fade Away'. Anyway, a brilliant issue, and now to go and read issue #10.
