Anyone else notice the release date for this is only listed 7 days after 20? Are they doing Weekly for this arc or something cause that would be sweet(I can only dream) Woah cool, you're right! Issue 20 is released on November 26 and Issue 21 is released on December 3. Talk about spreading the love around the holidays - thanks Dark Horse! This definitely makes up for the long wait between Issue 19 and Issue 20.

They're losing me more all the time. I have really loved the comics all the way up till the Fray arch, but now I'm having doubts. The Fray arch is hard to follow (and frankly I don't care about Fray at all), and now we're going to have a "Harm's Way" style arch?
Don't get me wrong, I like Harmony in a background character way, but really? And another bad pun about her name? Gah. Willow's no longer a relateable character and I have to waste four issues on Harmony?
Ah, well. If this is what they're focusing on, I can't complain. Buffy is Buffy. I'm not pleased with the direction things have taken, but maybe it'll even out later on. I think I'll reread Wolves at the Gate and cheer myself up.

It's a standalone issue that features Harmony as the one who reveals the existence of vampires to the world. She's the one who lets the cat out of the bag, probably on a talk show or a reality tv show - A Day in the Life of a Vampire, or rather A Night... The following 4 issues are all centering around how different people have to deal with vampires being out in the open.

Yeah, Phil those are great because they have the higher resolution but I think it's interesting how the coloring is changed a bit. I liked the other version's color scheme a bit more.

Since when is this called 'Vampires in Public'? That was never confirmed.

Since when is this called 'Vampires in Public'? That was never confirmed. Lol that's been the informal fandom title taken from Scott Allie's leak about the theme of the 5 standalones...someone on whedonesque mentioned it might be called "Five by Five" in an interview but didn't source it. Ah, I just got confirmation from Scott Allie that there is no offical title for the arc as yet. It's definitely not "Five by Five" nor "Vampires in Public" officially.

For the sake of having only correct and official info, let's hold off on using any sort of title until we know it for sure.

Sweeet. Does anyone else get a little buzz when new covers and solicits hit? Thanks for the info on the arc title Emmie, I was wondering that and then I got to your post and it answered it all. I'm looking forward to finding out a bit more about this arc, from what we've heard so far it sounds interesting.

I like Harmony in a background character way, but really? And another bad pun about her name? Gah. Willow's no longer a relateable character and I have to waste four issues on Harmony? This New Arc is not JUST about Harmony, so donĀ“t worry about it... (and In this Arc there 5 issues or 5 standalones, i dunno)

Theory: Harmony's going to die in this issue. Please god, no. Harmony deserves to be the last vampire to ever exist. Always getting away is her thing.

Cool. Given the premise of the arc, Harmony's a good way to kick it off, and Jane is the perfect one to write an issue about her. I'm a little worried this issue might turn out like "Harm's Way", where there was too much Harmony (she's better in a supporting role), but since one issue is so much shorter than an entire episode, that might not be a problem here.
So it looks like Harmony was the one Scott Allie was talking about when he mentioned the return of a character who started on "Buffy", then moved over to "Angel". Most of us figured it was probably Spike... but I'm actually glad it's not (in spite of him being one of my favorite characters). I enjoy him more in LA, and am enjoying the dynamic the Scoobies have in S8 without him around...

OMFG! I did not see this coming at all! I love it! Great covers! I've been waiting for the new solicitations to come out for ages. I'm a little confused, is this issue a part of the arc where everything is drawn like the animated series? Or is issue #20 not the beginning of an arc and just a standalone animated series thing? Is this where the new arc begins? Special needs, anyways...
