How is no-one posting about Buffy Season 8 yet?

The first comic is out today, and it is made of AWESOME.

First, Joss totally redeems that awful Angel ep where Angel & Spike go to find Buffy in Rome. Second, Buffy's new watcher rocks with total rockingness (three guesses which *coughone-eyedcough* man has the role). Third, all the set-ups for Things Wot Will Happen are excellent (Dawn side-story! Willow side-story! Giles side-story!), and the art is rocking. And the whole thing sounds authentically Buffy-esque, and I love it. (Oh! And fourth, there is an EXCELLENT new villain.)

I love it, and y'all need to go get one from your local comic book store.

I didn't feel that way about it -- they all looked like themselves, but they were also recognizably comic'd. Buffy has a breath of manga about her.

The sheer joy of having more canon!Buffy in my life kind of outweighed everything else, though. :-) (Joss writes well!)
