Discussion of 8.02 "The Long Way Home Part 2" - Released 4/4/07 (Dark Horse)

So now Willow's floating and stuff. I wonder how powerful are they going to make this woman, because her power just keeps growing and growing and growing, kind of like the Energizer Bunny
 
I still have to order my issue, but I read on wikipedia that the Slayers are losing the battle against Amy's army of zombies when the comic ends. I know that wikipedia isn't a very reliable source, so is that true? I don't like the sound of that. I dunno. I just don't like the sound of Slayers losing to zombies...

One of the slayers tells Xander over the com: "'Kill the head' isn't working! They're not even slowing down! Orders, sir?"
So my guess is that they're super-zombies. I'm betting the zombies will become killable again when Willow defeats Amy.
 
What makes a zombie an effective enemy is you can't really stop a zombie unless you chop it to bits, because unlike vampires zombies aren't undead, they're just dead so chopping off their head won't really do anything cause for the most part it's magick that's keeping zombies alive, so I'm guessing unless the Slayers have to bomb to blow them to bits or of course Willow stops the spell then I say they have their hands full
 
Just checked out the #3 preview (6 pages), read it if you want to know how the zombies are stopped.🙂
 
Jeez guys watch the Issue#3 spoilers 😉
Just got my comic 😀 It was awesome, although I have to admit it took me a bit to get into. Xander and Buffy kissing was so cute! Then when his head fell off I was :lmao: It's still cracking me up "This lint is so Scottish".
I'm just more confused then I was before about Amy's boyfriend.. and if that was the guy who was putting his army 'suit' on.
I want to know if Xander has a go with some smoochies with Buffy! The mystery dream guy did seem like Spike to me also.. but it was her dream, why can't we/she see who it is? Honestly, it seems to me that even Buffy doesn't know who it is. I'll have to think more about what all these dreams mean now 😛

Jeez it will be good when Angel and Spike are in the next issue, finally shut up everyone saying that they're not allowed to appear 😉
 
I also just realized that in Buffy's dream the dragon is Amy, because she says 'I know you' and then the dragon/Amy says 'yes scream ... (next page) ...I wouldn't want this to be painless' etc. And side bar, what a bitch. If it wasn't for Buffy Amy would be still in the body of a 50 year old woman, and it wasn't like Buffy knew Sunnydale was going to turn into a giant crater.
Anyway, also I've just seen that Buffy is actually crucified (just in time for Easter 😛) ... guess that part's just more interesting subtext then anything else. She is of course also in her bed with her hands and feet bound.
Still thinking about her dreams, I wonder if Buffy and Xander *did* have a thing previously somewhere between the end of season 7 and now. Prolly not, but questions are being asked after Buffy and Xander's first kiss! 😛 Even if it was a dream followed by decapitation.

And jeez where is everyone. Come on people.
 
Just an observation:

dream guy wears a blackish-brown jacket with a red t-shirt underneath. have a look at the front cover - Xander is wearing a blackish-brown jacket with a red t-shirt underneath (you can just see the neck line of it).

now that's food for thought.....

good pick up, i definately would not have put those two things together. i can only hope it's xander in her dream
Ok feeling a bit frequent in this thread today, but I re-read the comic just now and had another 'omg-I-can't-believe-I-didn't-notice-that-before' moment. A lot of people seem to think the guy we see getting undressed in the army uniform might be Amy's boyfriend because you don't see his face, but I kinda noticed that he says 'Suit' as implying the suit he was just talking to before he walked into the room. So the guy we see undressing with the weird mark is actually the captain army chief guy we've been seeing, talking about blowing up Buffy. He also has a model aeroplane which seems to be pointed out to us... I suppose a lot of you already figured this out, but oh well 😛 He does seem to have a different colour on when inside his darker room and without his hat on, it threw me. Do you guys think it's the same guy? If so what does this mean for the bodies with the same mark on them that Buffy's girls found.
 
And that last line, with that image. Was anyone else rubbing their hands together, cackling maniacally, or should I say apprehensively, because next issue...oh that's gonna be something.
I liked the whole issue (of course), but that last page really made me super happy. Wow Willow is so amazingly awesome, I still love her as much as I ever did.
 
i got mine last weekend. it was awesome!

- Buffy's dream was cool, you could definitely tell it was written by Joss ("This lint is so scottish", lol). I'm also curious about who this "true love" is suppossed to be. I'm hoping its Angel, as Joss said he and Spike would appear next issue (hopefully with Illyria and Gunn). Maybe the visions Cordeilia gave Angel also give him so form of telepathy to enter Buffy's dream (if it is him).

- The dialogue was as good as ever. Andrew's little monologue was funny.

- I loved the last page! Willow's back, and she's gonna kick some ass!
 
Just got my copy yesterday because they all sold out on the first day. I got a couple of thoughts on another awesome issue.

-Yay for Giles being back. Him being in charge of a whole section makes sense.

- Buffy is still the most powerful slayer out there, I wonder if that will ever change?

- I still love Andrew, although I do miss the crazy hair. And it's cool how he flat stated slayers don't use guns, ever.

- The Army general dude is definately the guy with the mark on his chest, obviously he knows alot more about this world then we thought.

- "...Are you coming to bed?" I don't think any five words in the Buffyverse have blown me away more then that, before I realized it was a dream. But if this is a dream then doesn't that mean that there is something between them? Or this type of thing was going on? I dunno but god I hope so.

- Anyone else see the girl that was flirting with Xander in the first issue get stabbed in the back? Possibly to death, looks like it could be a killing blow. That would kinda end that romance possibility.

- Willow is back and Amy looked like she was about to sh*t her pants, and for good reason. All fear Willow.

Can't wait for the next issue.
 
I just thought of something. There's this big battle going on in the castle, and our guys haven't even unleashed Giant Dawn yet.

Do Zombies have ears? She could just scream at them, "Get out! Get out! Get out!!!" with hyper-sonic giant loudness. No wait. That wouldn't work, because then you'd have a lot of deaf slayers...maybe a good chunk Scotland too.

excellent thought!
Okay, I love Buffy the Vampire Slayer with all my heart and soul. But I'm still waiting for this Season Eight to get good.
-Why did Buffy have a gun in the first issue? She hates guns! And why did Andrew say they don't use guns when they clearly did?!
-I pray that Buffy and Xander don't get together all lovey dovey. They're like brother and sister! Besides, you gotta have SOME scoobies that don't sleep with each other.
-Also, I think Amy's "boyfriend" is Adam. But I hope not. Only because they've done that before in the crappy Buffy comic series and failed miserably. For heavens sake, they gave him wings and made him a ghost!
-I like Andrew a lot and I like who he is and how funny he is. But since this comic takes place a year and a half after the seventh season you'd think he would have grown up a bit. He's watcher now isn't he? So if he's still a dork that can't give the slayers any good advice or information why are Buffy and Giles letting him talk to the slayers?
-I want all of the slayers except Buffy and Faith to die because this population of slayers is making Buffy and Faith obsolete. I just don't like where its going. I have Faith in Joss, though. So I'll hang in there.
-Once last thing, did anyone else notice the feather earring on the chick that flirted with Xander in issue #1 changed ears? She only had one earring and in one panel its in one ear and in another panel it switches to the other ear.

Um, yeah that wasn't a gun to shot or hurt people/demons/anyone with, it was only used to get rid of the forcefield protecting the demons.
And by Andrew's comment in issue 2, Joss is clearly saying this. In my opinion anyway 🙂

Oh yeah I also noticed that the girl flirting with Xander got a sword in the back.
