Here's some quotes from the letters section of Issue # 3.

Andrew's already back, and I wouldn't be surprised if we got to Clem one of these days. He was always one of Paul Lee's favourites to draw - Paul will be back for issue five, but now sign of Clem in that one. And yes, some of the potentials from Season Seven will get in on the act.

Who's Paul Lee? Does this mean no Georges Jeanty for # 5?

also in our fourth issue, twenty-two pages in which Joss wraps up the first arc with a bang, setting the stage for the most epic faceoff of Buffy's career...

I don't think anyone's posted this one yet have they?

And the summer only gets hotter as the vamp train rolls on—take a look at these top-secret story morsels for the rest of Whedon’s first five-part arc, as well as a super-sneak-peek at writer Brian K. Vaughan’s first issue, hitting in September!

MORE ACTION, JACKSON!
With comics’ unlimited budget, Whedon has upped Buffy Season 8’s action and special effects budget to astronomical figures. We’ve already seen a full-on Slayer raid against demons in issue #1, and a ninja-versus-Slayer melee in issue #2. The book only gets more frenetic in May’s issue #3 when the Slayers must repel an all-out zombie attack, and Willow goes all dark witch against Amy, followed by Buffy taking on the U.S. military in Buffy #4 in June.

NEW BUDS, NEW BADDIES
The Scooby Gang gets amped up with an army of Slayers at Buffy’s beck and call as familiar faces like Rona and Violet (from “Buffy” Season 7 who show up in issue #5 in August) join with new recruits Satsu, Leah and Rowena. But the new friends mean more targets for the new big bads as well, as the Slayers must do battle not just with blood-sucking vamps, but with an order of demons sporting a secret agenda, another former foe from the TV show, the U.S. military who wants to take them down, and a Slayer gone bad (in Vaughan’s issue #6 slated for September).

SEXPOT SLAYER
The comic adventures of the sultriest Slayer ever take a cheeky turn for the titillating, starting with Buffy’s passionate pass at Xander in issue #2 (true, it was a dream sequence, but it was hot enough to knock off Xander’s head!). Look for more passion plays in Buffy Season 8’s summer installments, including one smooch from a secret admirer and one familiar stalker-type for Buffy, a steamy threesome scene and a hilarious heart-to-heart about the birds and the bees between Buffy, Xander and Willow in issue #3. That installment also has a panel featuring fledgling Watcher Andrew and a bevy of Slayers that’s so steamy, Whedon asks artist Georges Jeanty in his script to make sure “nothing un-Dark Horse-able is showing”!

ASTONISHING ABSURDITIES
The comic carries over Whedon’s penchant for the bizarre and multiplies it to the Nth degree. If seeing Dawn transform into a 50-foot giant for losing her virginity to a mystical Thricewise isn’t enough, wait until you see these scenes: the zombie dance party in issue #3; the death of a Slayer close to Buffy in issue #5; and bad girl Faith do her “My Fair Lady” impression to take down a high-society Slayer gone rogue!

Violet as in Vi? Because she was my favorite and that would be awesome if she was back for season 8.
 
I got the impression it will be Vi.

Wouldn't it be nifty if the rogue slayer Faith is going to meet turns out to be Dana?
 
looks like there is some new news on buffy #5

Buffy's new position as leader and figurehead of the world's five hundred most powerful women has made her a bigger target than ever before. "The Chain" tells the story of one of the decoy "Buffy" Slayers, a tale personally important to series creator Joss Whedon. Guest artist Paul Lee (Conan, Tales of the Vampires) pencils the first standalone issue of Season Eight.

so looks like we will be learning about either the Roman double, or the girl under ground.
hmmm.

And no cover art has been released for this one yet...
I wonder if it is super spoilery?
 
Some bad news from that link too. It's not released until August 1st. So I guess that means no issue in July. I think we already knew that though, didn't we?
 
that's actually really cool. i like that a lot. can't wait to get this one. lol, issue 4's not even released yet, and i'm looking for number 5!!
 
So, I caved again. Checked out the Buffy #4 preview at the Dark Horse site. Looks promising. Wasn't quite satisfied with Warren's explanation about...why he's still around, how precisely Amy managed to save him. Hmm.
 
I'm beginning to worry. I ordered my copy of the no. 3 comic three weeks ago from tfaw and it didn't arrive yet. I ordered the first one from there too and things went fine. Now I'm still waiting for the third. I can't wait to read it. I mean, everybody has already read it and I'm super late. Any help? What can be the problem?
 
Im just trying to imagine Buffy (tv series Buffy) walking around wearing a shirt that said "Buffy the Vampire Slayer". It's a very funny image. lol!
 
I always have to check out the spoilery previews for the new artwork if nothing else. 40 pages, alright...

BUFFY THE VAMPIRE SLAYER #7

Written by Brian K. Vaughan, penciled by Georges Jeanty, inked by Andy Owens, colored by Dave Stewart, cover by Jo Chen.

# 6 comes out in August, right? So if # 7 comes out in a October that means there's another month long hiatus between issues. That kind of sucks.
 
Yeah that would be right. I was thinking beginning of the Faith Arc, but # 7 would be the second in that arc, correct? So good then. They're going straight through. Man I'm making a lot of mistakes lately. I'm going to blame the heat. (Until it gets cold of course. Then I'll blame that.)
