Covers: (click for super HQ) "Written by Steven S. DeKnight, penciled by Georges Jeanty, inked by Andy Owens, colored by Michelle Madsen, covers by Jo Chen and Jeanty.
Vampires are the hottest thing around -- forget hipsters; being a bloodsucking fiend is where's it's at! Slayers must take the good fight underground if they're to avoid any bad press from the general public.
When Kennedy is sent to Japan to evaluate Satsu's efforts as team leader, they are taken by surprise by some fierce furry creatures who want to do nothing more than destroy Buffy (surprise!), while Twilight remains the captain of the anti-Slayer ship. Steven S. DeKnight (Angel, Smallville, Dollhouse) teams with series artist Georges Jeanty in "Swell."
40 pages, $2.99, in stores on Jan. 14 Jan. 28 Feb. 4."www.comicscontinuum.com/stories/0810/09/darkhorsejan.htm

Ok, ok.
I vowed to stop reading after TOYL pt. 2, but this issue has me intrigued. I can't waittt.
George's covers kind of lack, recently. but I can't wait to see what the little monsters are.
Maybe it will be like "The Latest Craze" monsters. Hmm.
I hope Willow and Buffy are still friends by this arc.

I really like Jo's cover, Kennedy and the background are amazing! Satsu just doesn't look like Satsu, but it must of been hard to capture a likeness. Georges' cover is nothing special, but it is kind of funny, those little things are SO cute! I want one!
Based on the plot it seems like this is going to be a comedic issue. If Kennedy finds out about Saga Vasuki and there is heartbreak in issue 19, I'd love for Satsu and Kennedy to get together.

Satsu and Kennedy together...looks like Willow gets betrayed...a nice reason to go dark... when you're girlfriend cheats you with another non-magical girl... Nice reason to be mad at Buffy, for bringing this girl in your girlfriend's life...

Nice reason to be mad at Buffy, for bringing this girl in your girlfriend's life... Well that wouldn't be exactly accurate since it seems that Willow has also been unfaithful to Kennedy! I'm all for a Kennedy/Satsu 'ship. Would we call it: Katsu? Sennedy? Kennesu? Satedy?

Jo Chen nailed Kennedy, as she has all characters so far. And wow, if Satsu had looked that hot in the interior art, I might have been 'shipping Buffy/Satsu by now. (Kidding. Mostly.) I'm looking forward to this issue, as Stephen S. DeKnight was one of my favourite writers in the televised seasons of Buffy and Angel ("Dead Things", "Seeing Red", "Destiny", "Shells"...)

Jo's cover is stunning. Satsu looks gorgeous and I like this look a lot better than how Georges has drawn her. Those little monsters looks hilarious.

I think this arc is going to be the highlight of the season. It'll be this seasons "Hush" or "Once More, With Feeling" or "Conversations with Dead People".
Jo Chen's cover is amazing as usual. Kennedy looks fantastic, a great likeness and Satsu looks great, I really like how Jo paints her. I agree that George's cover is lacking. Like his "Harmonic Divergence" cover. However he did an amazing "After These Messages" cover, I'm thinking he's pushed for time with this coming arc.
And Steven S. DeKnight! I've been anticipating his contribution for a long time. He wrote amazing episdoes, hopefully this has a darker theme like his television episodes. It's an interesting premise with so much potential, I love that Kennedy is the one evaluating Satsu. It seems so fitting for her character.

Does anyone think the furries look like vampire kitties? No? Shamelessness be damned, I'll admit that I just finished watching 'America's Next Top Model' before seeing this solicitation and my first thought was: 'Great pose, Kennedy!' It really does look like she was coached by Tyra. Remember the complaints about how similar the covers were for Issue 21...well, we certainly don't have that problem here. Two smoking hot slayers posing in Japan on one and mysterious vampire furries swarming Buffy on the other. Look at the cute mini-Dracula suits the furries are wearing! Now, I know it's wrong to make your pets dress up in little outfits, but come on - those miniature vests and vampire capes are adorable So it looks like Twilight's master plan is to unleash vampire Tribbles on Buffy...hey, at least it's original.

That's hilarious! What would Tyra say about Satsu? And that sounds like something Warren would say to Twilight, "That's your master plan? To unleash Tribbles on the Slayer?"
