Rona, Vi, and Kennedy

[The Chosen]

Hey! Since I haven't read Season Eight yet, have Rona, Vi, and Kennedy shown up anywhere yet? Just wondering!

 

[jesterjay]

But why do you want to know this now 🙂???

 

[The Chosen]

Well...I'm not that patient to be truthful. And my deadline for the first issue is coming up, right? They aren't going to have it now that the second one is out, right?

So I was curious.

*spoilers for Issue 1*

Spoiler

Not as such, although a black Slayer does appear in the assault team during the raid on the church. I suspect that as Battle of Sunnydale veterans Vi and Rona gained enough experience since the events of "Chosen" to act as squad leaders. Whatever the equivalent of sergeant or lieutenant is in the Army of Slayers. Kennedy is linked (one assumes) to Willow, who will make an appearance in a later issue.

Just for future reference the way you do spoiler tags at BB is like this [spoiler*]Stuff you want to spoil[/*spoiler]. Remove asterisks and it looks like this

Not sure if this is a spoiler but I'll make it black anyway

I don't see why the potentials from season 7 would be with Buffy in England anyway, I'd assumed they'd want to go back home if they're not wanted by the government

I'm kind of crossing my fingers that the two sentries outside Xanders room in # 2 are Vi and Caritas.

Slightly OT, but did you know the girl who played Rona is a regular on Weeds now?

 

[Tranquillity]

wonder if they'll appear in the faith arc?

 

[The Chosen]

That woul dbe awesome Tranquility!

For what it's worth, here's what the Season 8 artist has to say...

QUESTION: Will any of the Scythe-Activated Slayers from the TV show appear in the comic (i.e. Kennedy, Vi, Rona) or are they all new characters?

I haven't drawn any of the TV slayers yet but I do think they make appearances here and there. This whole thing is still being written and I think Joss has made the pool big enough so that at some point whoever's writing a story will come across old friends as well as new.
