Looks like the overall story is going to start off in present day, with Georges doing the art, then we get into high school, with the new art. Loeb is a hit and miss writer, so here's hoping. I'm guessing that Sale or Madiera is going to be the artist. Tim Sale's style could work for the cartoony thing. Umm did I miss something? Where did it say anything about going back to High School? From Scott Allie during New York Comic Con: The Fray arc will be followed by an issue by Jeph Loeb, who will revisit the Buffy animated series that never happened. "It's Buffy sort of revisiting her high school life, but drawn in the style of the animated series that never happened."

I have a sick feeling that part of the Fray arc will be delayed. Not even close to done with one of the issues? Not good. It could happen, it took two years for the original Fray run to finish. Scott said in the interview that 16 is done and finished. It's been out of the way for weeks. He has almost forgotten what goes down in it. So they're up to 17. Michelle Madsen is colouring the finished pencils, they're still waiting on some script from Joss and Karl is finishing the pages he already has. I'm with you in the state of worry. Although if they delay it for two months, and it's better quality because of it, I'm happy. In regards to the cover, Jo just keeps outdoing herself. Another fantastic/hilarious cover. Amazing likeness.

My favorite cover so far!! It's so cute and surreal!!! It remind me of a Rockwell. I love Norman Rockwell's paintings! EDIT: Wow! Scott acknowledged it is a throwback! How neat. I completely agree. That's exactly who I thought of when I saw it. I love Norman Rockwell's paintings as well, and this really reminds me of one of his works. The likenesses are just stunning as well. Especially around their mouths; I'll never figure out how people can do this stuff, but it amazes me every time.

I'm jsut worried that if Joss is too busy with Dollhouse there might be problems with Buffy. I mean look at how bad he got with Astonishing X-men.

OMFG! Best cover ever! I love it. Very vintage Buffy. I see Buffy has yet to make the transition to widescreen tv.

AXM is finished this month and Runaways this or next month. More time for Buffy and Dollhouse! Maybe he'll have time to write an issue of Angel: After The Fall now.

This cover is super amazing, I like how they say it's going to be drawn in the animated style of Buffy.

I'm really not worried about delays. Moline seems to be with Joss's scripts which Joss says he's had this whole story arc planned out since the get go. I'm sure that issue will be resolved quickly. I guess Moline's finished with the first two issues of TOYL, and the issue in danger being due for release in September. As long as Moline gets the scripts from Joss for #18 before July I think we won't see any delays.
Love the cover tho. It does remind me of the old days, except Xander has the eye patch. Does anyone else think that the Buffy on the TV set looks a lot like Samantha from Bewitched?

I guess that if there is a delay, between 19 and 20 would probably be the best point to have it. It's (nearly) the halfway-point of the season, it's right after a 4-issue arc has wrapped up... I could probably survive for a month or two with no "Buffy"--but I just hope A:AtF won't have wrapped up yet by then, so there'll at least be something to look forward to in the meantime...

Weird but cute.
They look ... insane. perhaps someone took their minds and put them in the TV. Like on of those horror movies with computergames, you play it and you get sucked in.

I'm excited for this issue and the cartoony-ness. Looks like fun and will be great to see how the characters' view their past and future selves.

Awesome I am really looking forward to this, I was looking forward to tghe Buffy animated series as it was all going to be set out like the 1990's Batman animated series which I am a big fan of! Anyway remember Buffy S8 was orignially only going to be 22 issues so they will be a bit behind. But it is interesting to think that after Wolves at the gate we would have probably gotten the last remaining issues as a Buffy vs Twilight show down to finish off the season but when they dicided to expand the series they have had to come up with other story arcs. Here is what news I could find on the animated series including possible ideas which they had for episodes, I'm assuming they might still use them in the comic.

Love the cover, it could be a tricky one for in this arc the relationships between the Core Scoobies could drift apart so they created this in order to give away this false feeling of happiness and good ol times....
The thing with them watching a Buffy cartoon reminds me of a scene in Sailor Moon where ChibiUsa sees her future self watching a sailor moon cartoon on the telly

I'm glad to hear we're getting a brief revisit to Buffy's high school days. Those are the days I liked the show the most. Later seasons are like a different show entirely.
