Umm. Okay so we're back to Buffy vs. Faith? Since effing when?? Yeah that's what I was thinking. I thought they had moved past that, you know in the last few episodes of season 7. But I don't mind if Buffy gets her comeuppance from Faith. She deserved it after how she treated her in season 7. It reminds me a little of how in season 3 when Faith killed that man Buffy had a dream of Faith drowning her. Or was it the man pulling her underwater? I can't really remember...

WOW great cover but I also prefer the first two of the arc. Not being what I thought of a Buffy and Faith cover also. Buffy ad Faith neck and neck, again since when??? They made peace in season 7, unless Faith has killed Lady Genevieve and has hit rock bottom? Do you think its possible for the buffy logo to have been removed from the cover page as tbh I can not see a place fo it to fit on this?
When will the solicitations be released though officially cuz i really want to see that Georges Jeanty cover, and hopefully, the new TPB cover art.

Ooh, wow, sweet cover. ![:)](http://premium1.uploadit.org/Flipsidephilly/emotes/smile.gif) I think it's weird that they're having Faith and Buffy fight again, 'cause I too thought they got over that in S7, but I'm sure what happens will make more sense when we actually read it.

Where's the Georges Jeanty variant??? I really would like to see this now!!! Also, I would really like to see some more of Jo Chen's action in a few panels of upcoming issues. Like in 'Stake to the Heart' where they had those beautiful paintings within panels...

Since this is the thread for the third issue of the arc, I'm guessing it's okay to post spoilers for the first two (if you consider DH's descrip of the issues as spoilers). Anyway, we know that Faith is going undercover to infiltrate the stronghold of this evil slayer. What I assume is happening here in #8 is that Buffy has also shown up to try to stop this slayer, found Faith there, and thought Faith had turned evil again. The only flaw in that theory is that Giles apparently is the one who prepped Faith for her mission, so it's a little weird he didn't clue Buffy in to what's going on. On the other hand, they (Giles and Buffy) seem to be working in, not just different cities, but completely different countries these days, so maybe it's not so hard to believe that they don't know the details of everything the other's got going on. I'm a little disappointed in Buffy, tho, that she'd immediately assume the worst about Faith. I thought she would've learned better in S7. Still, all we have is a description that Buffy "confronts" her, along with the cover artwork, which may not even depict an actual event from the comic--it could just be something dramatic to grab the eye when sitting on the comic rack. As in, "Hey, look, everyone: Faith and Buffy are at it again!" Guess we'll just have to wait and see... --edit-- Another possibility is that Buffy shows up, discovers Faith there, asks the obligatory "What the hell are you doing here?" (even tho she figures it out immediately) and as they're talking, the evil slayer and her flunkies come upon them, and Faith has to fight Buffy simply to maintain her cover. Tough to assume too much just based on a two-line description and a piece of cover art... ![:-/](http://premium1.uploadit.org/Flipsidephilly//undecided.gif)

Do you think its possible for the buffy logo to have been removed from the cover page as tbh I can not see a place fo it to fit on this? I was wondering the same thing. One thing I love about Jo's covers is how the logo is always part of the image, not just slapped on. Part 2 doesn't have the logo as part of the image though either does it?

Here we go guys, dark horse solits??? WOOHOO www.comicscontinuum.com/stories/0708/16/darkhorsenov.htmGeorges' Buffy is definately improving to my liking!!! Defo my best variant so far!!! I only have the tiniest gripe and that is that I would have prefered the photo backgrounds to have remained white so that the cover becomes more neutral. I think they stand out way too much. I really hope that that symbolic knife returns as it also gives us the answer as to where it has ben all those years.

Oops! Silly me, I just thought that if the knife was in Sunnydale, she can't have it. Maybe she stole it from Buffy's house before the battle? Or she could've buy a new one, I mean it was in the Star Trek film. What thiefs! I would love it to return though.

I hope it does return! That would be awesome. But I thought it was just there (in the cover) as it is very symbolic of Faith's past.

Yeah that's what I said originally, that it is very symbolic of Faith's character, but then thought it would be great to see it return but I guess it's at the very bottom of the sunken hellmouth.

Wow, I really like the Jeanty cover! :jump:
Faith, Buffy... and I don't recognize the third one. Could that be this 'Lady Savidge'? She does look pretty similar to the girl in the middle in the Jeanty cover for #7...

I agree this is the best Jeanty cover so far. And as for Faith knife. Maybe they saved it. Like maybe they sent a few things off to England before the final battle in SunnyD just in case and all. Well its a long shot.

Scott Allie emailed me and told me that things will get 'shitty for the two slayers'. I'm scared of what Joss has in store for us!!!
