If you go to the Buffy Season 8 Re-caps which is a sticky thread for Season 8 in the index, you get a synopsis of everything that happens in the Season 8 comics. The comics seem to be better than the re-caps would have you believe. There is a lot going on in the comics that couldn't possibly happen in a TV show. Worldwide locations, adult content, lots of slayers, time travel, all things that never would have made it to the TV screen.
