It's a less dynamic shot than when Buffy fights Faith. It's a very close copy, but it's not a trace, and even if it's real, it's not a departure from his usual style. I don't care if it's real or fake, I just want to know... I'm kinda kicking myself in the ass for going against my better judgment. Was planning to ask, then post, but in my exhaustion, I figured it looked real enough, and posted it. I'm not undermining Mr Savath Bunny's contribution; if it's real, that's pretty awesome that it was procured from a sketchy site. If it's fake, then there lies my stupid guilt; I was complicit in spreading a fake. God, I'm such a pirate! And you wonder why I have nightmares that involve my trying to rationalize stealing a bottle of shampoo. Xi, you should feel guilty. This has all been extremely traumatic for me.

In Dawn's words: "I'm a satan" Always wondered about the wording of that one... ETA: Xi, it is a departure. Minute, but not his typical Season 8 penning. The figures are more photorealistic where as Jeanty tends to do a more stylized cartoon rendition (what unfortunate detractors call "bobblehead" and "childish"). I can already lay down money that people complaining about Jeanty's art will be going ga-ga over this because it's so pretty and photorealistic. Jeanty's usual trademark "cartoony" stuff is usually in the face. In this case, the faces are mostly obscured. So that much can't be seen. It is very pretty, and from what we can see, kinda photorealistic. But Jeanty has done some good panels where he's copied scenes very closely before. So I don't find it that much of a departure at all.

4chan is the place where sketchy thrives. Never trust a single word that comes from the mouth of a regular there. <_< More than likely, they created the image to leech on the whole Twilightgate incident a la other spoiler incidents. Examples include: (Harry Potter, Sixth Sense, and Fight Club spoilers ahead) Snape kills Dumbledore, Bruce Willis was dead the whole time, the narrator IS Tyler Durden.

Could you at least link the image again here? Would be nice to be able to see what everyone's talking about whether it's a fake or not.

Rather not link a fake image. But if you want to know what it looks like, just look at the screencap I posted on the previous page. It's more or less exactly like that, much to the delight, or chagrin of some.

If that is a real page, it's a) extremely spoilery, and b) pretty much explains the imagery of Georges' cover. I guess there's no amount of brutality Buffy won't excuse when it comes to Angel.
I really, really hate the thought that I may have to lose all respect for both characters.

It's a flashback... to the scene in "Chosen". It's not her doing it in real time. Or at least, not in that panel.

Between this and the #34 covers, it seems like they're really going for the Bangel imagery here, and it's really, really inappropriate to the story. It makes Buffy look like a lovesick idiot, frankly. I never had any real objection to Bangel before, but I certainly do in the context of season 8.
It's squicking the hell out of me. I wish they'd stop it.

What are these fake previews everyone is talking about? I looked them up, but whenever I would click on a website that supposedly had it, nothing would appear o.0

The image was provided to me. I posted it. Whedonesque linked to it. They've since taken it down, at my request, until the image has been validated.

I have a feeling that, considering their recent experience with spoilers... especially this particular spoiler... Dark Horse wouldn't be sending out preview pages from 4 issues in the future. I think either it's a fake or it's not an authorized preview.

I haven't seen it yet either so I'm curious to see the art, fake or otherwise. Also, I think this may be my first slayalive post. I just got an account. Yay me.

It is beautiful. It's a picture of Buffy and Angel kissing in season 7 of BTVS, EOD.

It's more or less exactly like that, much to the delight, or chagrin of some. I understand removing it from the OP not wanting to misrepresent it as a real preview page, but other than that don't really see the problem in linking it in a post clearly stating it's unconfirmed status. Anyway, could you pm it to me then? I just spent a long time trying to find it on 4chan but as far as i could tell that page doesn't have a search engine so was kinda impossible. If it's a fake they're doing a really poor job of spreading it. :<

Actually, it's openly on display over on BuffyForums. It's a great piece even if it's a fake based on a season 7 screencap. It's also really great if it's real and a flashback. If it's Jeanty, I'm impressed with the stab at realism (and no, it's definitely not traced--slightly different angle). If not, whoever did it is a really good artist. NOTE: MIGHT NOT BE REAL: The lines on Buffy's hair and the shadow on Angel's eye and cheek are done beautifully.

Interesting thing to note: The one area where this supposed preview page differs from the first preview page for the #32 preview is that it lacks a subtitle. The #32 first page has "TWILIGHT CHAPTER ONE: BUFFY HAS F%#&ING SUPERPOWERS", whereas this one just says "TWILIGHT CHAPTER FOUR". May or may not mean anything... *sigh* Hope to have the answer to the veracity of this page by sometime later today.
