I want a tighter story, less cartoony elements, less cartoony art...(I personally would love for either Cliff Richards or Ryan Sook to do the interior art, though Georges Jeanty would be fantastic as well. For me he's sort of become synonymous with canonical comic book Buffy.) I want a season nine that would-have-been, not something that can-be due the lack of real world restraints. (Budget, actor availability, etc. I don't want Dawn to be a giant just because she can, is what I'm saying.) I want less fan-service, I want less "OMG" cameos just for the sake of having "OMG" cameos. I want Buffy back. exactemundo.

I agree with TC's statement of "I want Buffy back". I think that so many things have so obviously changed between season 7 and 8 that the writers focus on what is different (leading a slayer army, Dawn being a giant, Buffy sleeping with a woman etc.) and play that up instead of focusing on the similarities- what made then TV show so good was that you could watch an episode of season 1 then an episode of season 7 and although the characters had grown and evolved they were all still easily recognisable as was their interaction. I think we need to rediscover the scooby gang that lurks beneath the slayer control HQ. I also want something desperately thay can be summed up in one word: Spuffy

Reading over some of the comments I definatley agree that the book was at its strongets during the villian of the week . . warren adn amy in The Long Way Home Gigi and Roden in NFFY . Vamps and Dracula etc in WATG and then a tight story for TOYL then after that it went a bit meh. .a few random one shots did not like the harmony one at all. Sell was probably the best one out of that whole "arc" . .wasn't to keen on the oz acr either to much all crammed inot a 4-5 issue arc then boom all these super powers come inot it . Angels twilight, spikes back, demons, aliens every where, the masters back then Giles dead and magics gone. Just all went a bit crazy and mind twisty. So I hope tyey go back to the villian of thr week thing for S9. Maybe a few of those alien thigns weren't banished. Buffy tracks a fewq down. Research, research, research like in the old dasy then slay it. Chill with oz and the famiuly under a less hectic time. Saga Vasku creature finds a way back to willow some how and chaos between kennedy and willow . .maybe kennedy will get a few pages to actually grow abit more as a charcter. . Focus more on the new characters so we can getto know them all abit more. Leah, Roweena, Satsu mainly??? All we know is that they are Buffys best slayers. Meet Kenny again in a normal-ish way. Seen as the worl knows about the slayers and vampires etc. . maybe a little speech similar to the ending of x men 1 from buffy adn the scoobies on the tv. Saying we're not the bad guys really the vampires are. Trust us and help us don't be against us. . something like that anyway. Just think the vampire/slayers in publuc thing needs cleared up. Any comments on this??

I want a Faith and Angel team up spin off in S9. After Angel offed Giles, who had planned to continue Faith on her little quest to find a purpose in the world... I believe both have a lot to atone for and a lot to still learn from each other. Again, Angel Season 9 would begin a with a great duo like Cordy and Angel - just now the female is less scream queen and more bad ass. I think it would make for a compelling storyline.

I'd like to see Faith being slayer social worker again but with Angel, as he has some making up to do to the slayers.. i would like Buffy and Faith to fall out over this since Angel killed Giles and Faith vs Buffy is so much more compelling than them being friends.
I think they should being back Dracula and have him team off with Xander on a mission they are great together!
i want to see; - more shocking unexpected deaths like Renee's - more Andrew & Harmony! = more comedy! - some time travelling, past and future are both equally awesome - Fray time travelling to the past (her reaction to there being loads of slayers intrigues me) - A NEW big bad, with a BETTER master plan, that doesnt take 4 years to pan-out please!!!

I want Spuffy. I love their relationship. Have them living quietly, in hiding almost, out in the country somewhere- maybe with Riley & Sam. There'd likely be tension between them, but Riley's married and they're older now, so it'd be nice to see them all act mature and not have those high school level issues. There could be some others like Leah or Rona living there with them.
I'd love to see Harmony come back into the picture between Buffy & Spike somehow. The comedy she brings to the table will be welcome, but she could also be a formidable foe b/c she knows both Buffy & Spike pretty well. Imagine Harmony gets ahold of Satsu- vamps her and uses her to infiltrate Buffy's inner circle. There'd have to be more to it, like what exactly would Harmony's goal be... how does Spike play in, if for any other reason than simply being Harmony's ex? It could be pretty big, character-wise, to have Buffy fight and have to stake Satsu.
I liked the idea the original poster had of making Xander more Bond-like, taking on random missions- with Buffy giving orders from her home/Headquarters. He could have Dawn and others by his side (maybe Faith and ROBIN- who needs to come back in a big way). Those four- Xander, Dawn, Faith & Robin would make a nice set. Have Xander & Robin bond over saving eachother's lives somehow (xander needs a good guy friend). Dawn & Faith could bond in ways they previously haven't been able to with Buffy & a million other slayers around and all the craziness of Season 8. They could be in N.Y.C. with Vi.
I like the idea of Buffy, Willow & Xander all being separate (with Xander & Buffy still in contact). This is reality: friends drift over time. Willow should be off dealing with her own dramas with Kennedy & Aluwyn- progressing her story towards her fate in the fray universe. Also, bring back D'Hoffryn!!
I'm not sure how Angel is going to work into Season 9. Obviously, he needs to interact with Buffy & Spike at some point- but I don't want to see him redeem himself. Some people are tragic and they need to end his characters story appropriately tragic. Sorry Bangel fans!- it's not 'buffy & angel 4ever!' - Spuffy is where it's at!
I lost track of whats going on in the Angel comics awhile ago but I know Drusilla made an appearance, and I do hope Season 9 ties in with all that's happened in the Angel comics. I'd like to see Drusilla interact with Spike at least once more. I also think it'd be interesting to have her come upon Andrew.
Instead of predictably having Andrew come out of the closet and find some nice hunk of a man to fight evil with, he meets Drusilla somehow. She would vamp him, the same way she vamped William (Spike) who was just as nerdy as Andrew. Then Andrew as a vampire would be totally sexual and wild- a metaphor for coming out and embracing your sexuality. I would love to see this happen.
Drusilla & Andrew could actually tie in with Harmony & Satsu trying to destroy Buffy's circle from within. Imagine Drusilla & Harmony actually working together to bring Buffy & Spike down?!
Now I know why people write fan-fiction.
