Can't we all just get along? Cowboyguy has given us a little spoiler so be greatful for that. He didn't even have to do that. Well, I think this goes under the getting-along category when compared to other posts in the Season Eight section. And yes, be very grateful for the spoiler. What he posted is pretty much exactly what the cover looks like, minus the names of the people in the photos.

And as a second spoiler for the cover, a certain character's face doesn't look fat in it! Thank god. :sarcasm:

Mikey, if you're that eager, email Georges yourself. Actually, I wouldn't do that. He knows me...I have met him twice and if you just send him some random...he probably wouldn't respond, let alone be kinda offended. These things are kinda supposed to be kept under wraps until they are approved. Mikey, it's not that I think you or anyone else here will post it elsewhere...but guests from other sites do. I posted the preview pages from Issue 6 on here (which I scanned myself) and it was posted at whedon.info and the site didn't even credit us. As for the cover...imagine a school desk with a few photos on it, a certain dagger, and the logo carved into the desktop. Is this the variant cover that you have? Is it the one done by Georges? Is it good? So far his covers have been mediocre in my opinion.

So we have Faith in it, obviously. I'm thinking fugitive thing? Lets play the guessing game I've just done serious thinking guys, and the news that the 'No Future For You' TPB cover art is being released this week, how? It would make more sense if it were to be in the solicitations, 5 months before the actual release month like with 'The Long Way Home' TPB. Do you think that the email that I recieved from Dark Horse could maybe be a mistake?

Yes, its the Georges variant. Yes, the cover is extremely good. Well, at least its my favorite of the variants so far.

Yeah, I don't know why the TPB cover would be released before the images for the rest of the arc...maybe Jo Chen got it done first? (shrug)

Yeah I know what you guys mean about the variants. The only ones that I like are #1, #5 and #6. The issue 4's buffy just looks plain ugly, not a SMG likeness there at all. Maybe they got the month wrong and that they are late releasing the solicitations? Who knows?

No sign of the cover yet, huh? Damn, we're already waiting three more weeks 'til we can get #6 in our hands--I do NOT[/u] want to have to wait that long for the #8 cover, too... So do we think Faith is gonna be on the covers of both 8 and 9, as well? I mean, I know she's the focus of the arc and everything, but that could get a little redundant. Just going back to "The Long Way Home," Buffy was on the first one by herself, shared the second, and gave it up to different characters in the third and fourth. Could be hard to do something similar this time, tho, 'cause other than Faith, Giles, and Robin, we don't know who-if-any other characters from the show will be appearing in this arc. (Of course, Dawn was barely in #4, yet somehow ended up on the cover; weird.) Faith's my favorite character, so it's not like I'd mind her being on all four, but since Jo Chen's covers are more like portraits than representations of the action within, I wonder how she'd pull that off and keep it fresh for four consecutive issues...

I really want a Jo Chen cover with buffy and faith...maybe the 'No Future For You' tpb will have this That'd be cool--tho I have to say, so far I like her covers for the monthly issues better than the one for the first TPB, so I'd be hoping for that pairing on either 8 or 9. Now that I think about it, I'm pretty sure I read Scott Allie say somewhere, either in an interview or in one of the lettercols (or maybe it was even the Jeanty interview I saw a couple months back) that Buffy would appear, at least a little bit, in the Faith issues. Makes sense, I guess, 'cause it might be a little strange to go 5 issues (5 thru 9), spread over 7 months, of a series called "Buffy the Vampire Slayer" without ever once seeing the title character...

Yeah Buffy will be appearing in 1 or more of the Faith arc, hopefully alongside the rest of the Scoobies. OMG SERIOUSLY I HAVE NO PATIENCE!!! Some may say that's a bad thing huh???

Is this the image we're looking for? It was just posted on Whedonesque. I'm too lazy to look around and see if it was already posted.

Here's the description of the issue, as posted on Dark Horse's site:
"Faith hits the ground running after she infiltrates the estate of a rogue Slayer, that is until Buffy pops in and is confronted by her longtime nemesis. Certainly, chaos ensues."
When I agreed a Faith/Buffy cover would be cool, that's not exactly what I had in mind. It looks great and all--definitely captured both actresses very well--but I think I prefer the covers of 6 and 7...
