I know people were speculating about it, and Andrew (I think) pointed out that it could be a play on "bay at the moon", indicating the possibility that she is a fellow werewolf, or heck, at any rate serve as a romantic interest. But I just don't remember ever hearing an official confirmation about her role.

No, and you're right, wenxina. I think I (and others) assumed that she had a romantic role with Oz. I think it was with the mentioning of Bay and the opinion (of Scott's I believe) that Willow/Oz shippers won't be happy with this arc that lead to the belief that Bay and Oz were an item. But like I said, you're completely right in pointing out that this has not been confirmed. The timeline has an interesting implication: that he met Bay before he went back to Sunnydale. He originally chose Willow over Bay, only to be rejected. Bay was his second choice. Oh my God, I just realized... Oz's last girlfriend was Willow... and his current girlfriend is Bay... Joss is trying to tell us that Willow Bay is the key to everything!I thought Dawn was the key? [/snark]

Its pretty obvious based on continuity that Dawn and Oz would know eachother, simply because Oz would also have fake memories of Dawn as well, just like everybody who would have ever come into contact with her. Even some random guy walking past her on the street would have a fake memory of it, simply because thats what the monks did. Why would they change peoples memories, yet leave people like Oz or Cordy alone? That could be a huge problem. Besides, Faith and Dawn never actually met, yet they completely knew eachother and had history in Dirty Girls. Okay. From your post I gathered you were asking "How can people not remember that scene when Dawn spoke about Oz?" or something like that. Like you knew for sure that Dawn knew Oz better than "that red-headed dude I saw once".

But that really wouldnt make any sense, whatsoever. Oz was an integral part of the group for the Second Season and Third Season, Fourth Season kinda. You cant honestly say that Buffy's sister who knew all the other members very well, along with all the villains, didnt know Oz or referred to him by his hair color.

I don't know. Maybe Dawn only started to be allowed to hang out with Buffy and her friends in season 5 and onwards. In the middle of season 4, when Oz was around, she might not have been around them that much.

It's unusual that there's been no bigger preview for this issue posted anywhere yet. Maybe the rest of it is too spoilery.

Not extra previews, but the bordered covers are up over at TFAW.com. Check them out:

Sweet, the borders and titles both look great.
OT- But where is that Dru art from?

I thought it's a pretty fantastic rendition of her with Jeanty's flourish thrown in; he really captured that fragile innocence... wonder what she looks like when she's utterly batshit.

Great preview. I bet that's the majority of what we're gonna hear about what Oz has been doing the last 5 years or so.
There's the Tara cameo we've all been waiting for... even though the likeness wasn't great..
I didn't quite understand the panel of Oz and something furry coming out of his mouth. Can anyone explain that?

I'm not sure how I feel about it. The last panel is great, but I feel the same way I felt about the Harmonic Diverage preview. Awkward panels and writing. It just doesn't flow right. But maybe it's just because it's Oz: Short, to the point. And woah. On the last page it looks like Bay is carrying a baby. If her and Oz are together, is Oz a daddy?

I don't like the way Buffy says "Just give in" in that last panel. C'mon, Buff... after all you've been through?
Aaaaand we add Oz to the Season Eight Naked List.

Oz being a daddy would be pretty big. I thought the preview flowed fine, but the art seems a bit messy in spots. Panel of Oz wolfing out in Season 4 is awesome, and the first two pages look great, but the panel of him chasing Tara and the final panel with Buffy and Co. just lack the detail and oomph that Jeanty can definitely bring. Excited about this issue nonetheless. Some occasional spotty art never really bothers me too much.

Aaaaand we add Oz to the Season Eight Naked List. Bahaha, that list is huge. Willow, Oz, Buffy, Satsu, Saga, Kennedy, Dawn, and Faith have all being seen naked in this season. I'm probably missing a couple as it is.

Hey... a guy had to get naked at some point... one panel of Angel and Spike barely cuts it.
