An ill-prepared Buffy comes face to face with the new Big Bad in the form of an old- fahioned death match in this standalone issue titled A Beautiful Sunset.
Buffy Season Eight continues to entertain longtime Buffy fans and newcomers alike with Joss Whedon at the helm and Georges Jeanty serving as series artist.
"It already looks like . . . the start of the three-hundred-million-dollar Buffy movie you crave in your heart."-Ain't it Cool News
A standalone issue written by Joss Whedon!
Publication Date: Feb 06, 2008 Format: Full color, 40 pages, Ongoing Price: $2.99The cover is good, but it's NOT BY JO CHEN! Why?!

Isn't Jon Foster a cover artist from the old Buffy comics? I hope Jo Chen returns!!!!

Me too! I was hoping she would be doing all the covers for Season 8. I do like this cover, I'm just dissapointed it's not by Jo.

my apologies in advance for not knowing - but what does a "solicitation" of the comic mean?

could be wrong but i think its the main cover (Jo Chen covers) and the (Georges Jeanty covers) are the variant covers. But i could be wrong

Cool cover! New Big Bad! I'm a little confused by the covers background though. And whats an "old fashioned death match"? And Jo Chen's gone! Looks pretty good though.

Is that Dawn on the main cover? Doesn't that sort of give it away if something is towering over Dawn? Does that mean her little predicament will be resolved in one of the next two issues??

I'm pretty sure thats Buffy. She has blond hair. I love it! Its gorgeous and its not like anything thats been done yet for a main cover.
Buffysmglover, I loved the art in Stake To The Heart it was some of the best comic art in the Buffyverse. It does remind me of that.
I think an old fashioned death match means Buffy won't be fighting with ray guns

I was so glad to see that Stake to the Heart was in the Buffy Omnibus Voluem 2 because I was at Borders and it was the only onmibus they had so I got it. Its a very good story.

Wow... New Badguy Man is pretty funky looking. He looks really cool, but his face reminds me of the Ambush Bug, and that's just silly.

It's unique and it does remind me of the "Stake to the Heart" covers also. I wouldn't have known it wasn't Jo Chen if someone hadn't said that. The summary sounds great. Can't wait to see the "old fashioned death match". Is the title taken from the first issue of "The Long Way Home" when Buffy says the Twilight symbol looks like a beautiful sunset?

Thats a good catch Dane! Maybe it is. I wonder who this big bad is. He looks like he's about to do one of those 80's wrestling moves on the Buffster.

I'm scared that this issue is going to be like the season 5 episode of Angel, The cautionary tale of numero cinco, with that wrestler looking guy. A graveyard i see, good old traditional buffy, and love that the sun is seeping through big bads arms. Wouldn't have noticed this wasn't Jo Chen's work but after a second look, there is a difference, I hope she returns.

I still thought it was Jo's art when I saw the cover, but I thought she changed the style a bit.

Or like the demons from the season 3 ep Anne, which were kinda like the Bringers.
