Buffy Season 8 Spoilers

There's a new Joss Whedon interview. Here's what he had to say about the Issue # 10 he's writing, and general stuff to do with Buffy 8.

It'll lay out very differently because it'll take a period of several years, not several, but a few, and have a lot of side trips and sort of weird conjugative storytelling, because that's what I like…Then the more I started working on it, the funner it got and the more meaningful it got. When I write issue #10, most of it is Buffy and Willow talking. It goes to some very, really sad places, and really sweet and really out there [places, with] their complicated friendship. It wasn't just, ""Look! Dawn's a Giant! Which, believe me, Dawn's-a-giant is the greatest thing in the history of my life. Dawn's-a-giant makes me so happy I can barely contain myself. But then I started to feel characters and their pain and the funny. It was like coming home. It became important to me, much more than I'd expected.

Scott Allie had some hints at spoilers in a recent interview also. On an upcoming cover he says, "there's an upcoming Jo Chen cover that pushes the ... nudity barrier. "

He reiterated on previous remarks as to whether, or not Dark Horse could use Spike, or Angel.

SL: Speaking of Angel, how available is that character…as well as Spike, Cordelia and Wesley, all BtVS alums…for the Buffy series now? The two vampires with souls made a Buffy sandwich in a memorable dream sequence early on, but can you use them, at least in flashbacks, in speaking roles? Or would that have to be approved by IDW?

SA: We can use whoever we need to, but we're not gonna step on IDW's toes. Anymore than that would be telling.

Oh, and this is scary, as in a possible "Yuck" kind of way.

SL: Does the “Antique” story in TALES OF THE VAMPIRES (which established that Xander, post-S8, was in the thrall of Dracula for nearly a year) fit into the new continuity, or can we just write it off now as perhaps Andrew’s version of an event that didn’t happen quite…that…way?

SA: I think we'll find out soon.

I told you all!!!

/me bathes in her knowing glory 😉
 
Too cool. Let's have a look at that.

Faith hits the ground running after she infiltrates the estate of a rogue Slayer, that is until Buffy pops in and is confronted by her longtime nemesis. Certainly, chaos ensues.

By her long time nemesis? who could that be...For a second I figured Faith, but they're on the same team now, would be kinda dumb imo haha. I have absolutely no idea who it could be. Since they used the word Nemesis, however. I'm thinking Warren is back. Season 6 episode comes to mind

Warren: "We're your arch nemesis..is..es"

could be a long shot, though.
 
I think the whole warren and amy thing with the arch nemesis thing comes back to season six, but who knows, might be interesting if it does
 
looks like Buffy to me...cannot wait for that issue...haven't even ordered #6 yet and i want number #8! lol

don't know how accurate this info is, but i thought i'd share.

according to Wikipedia, there's gonna be TWO stand alone issues after the Faith arc, both written by Joss, and the next arc will, apparently, be set in Tokyo and written by Drew Goddard.

I've got to say... the covers for the new Faith arc are even better than the ones for the Long Way Home.

Yeah, I think this Jo Chen kid might be starting to get it. ;) j/k
Her hair looks red-ish.. or it could be the water. I can't tell if her eyes are blue or green. lol.
It looks more like Kirsten Dundst to me then SMG.. oh well.

Maybe the alternate cover makes things a little clearer. It defenitely looks like Buffy and Faith, but who's the third? Lady Savidge? She definitely looks like the girl that's on the staircase with Faith on the Alt Cover to Issue 7.


Also, in the downloads section of the Dark Horse website I found this wallpaper.

This looks like a Jo Chen... could it be from the cover to issue 9? Is that maybe the dress she is wearing on the cover to Issue 7?

I've gotta see this now. Is Sept 5 ever going to come?
Wow, that wallpaper looks amazing. I really can't wait for the upcoming issues, but they seem so far away 🙁

I want to see the bottom half of that cover if nothing else. Hey, I'm just a fan of Jo Chen's signature is all. :)
I noticed that one of discriptions says 'Faith infiltrates Lady S's estate'. We know that this Lady S is a dark slayer.. so this will make a really interesting story for Faith if she has to 'pretend' to be evil again. Seems ages till this comic is coming.

I believe Lady S's full name is Lady Genevieve Savidge
