Look at this smokin' cover for the Buffy comic #7. Giles at last.

Iconmakers, please fire up Photoshop.

Yes, that's Faith. The Dark Horse page for October has some plot details if you want a minor teaser.

You and me both. That combination is explosive.

Fuck, yeah!

[antennapedia]

Uh huh.

I like how they even got that funny line that goes across his forehead. Although, where is the pinky ring?

[antennapedia]

Good question. Hob also wants to know where it is. Character dress detail that the artist just missed?

Okay. This is why I can only mostly hate the very idea of the comics. (That's a slight exaggeration.) Because, well. THAT.

Both of them are mighty easy on the eyes in that painting. YES PLEASE.

Nice approach there. Will ponder.

Whedon isn't writing this storyline, so perhaps we'll get something interesting. I was sorely disappointed by the first four issues. A rather flat and uninteresting character retconned back into existence; one of the more interesting characters summarily disposed. Willow's season 6 arc completely defanged by the retconning. Dawn's story hanging motionless. Pointless references to comic series that I am uninterested in. Complete amnesia about the television show ethos: what happened with the last paramilitary demon-hunting organization we saw? When did Buffy suddenly turn into somebody who liked guns?

But Whedon's thing about Willow is the biggest problem.

Faith is somewhat, er, topheavy, yes.
