What Are You Hoping to See in Buffy Season 8

I am hoping to see several issues that deal with giving the Slayers the realization that they're not Uber, just because they have Slayer powers. I think it's important to deal with the hubris factor some way.

In an RPG idea I've considered running, the slayersquad comes upon a scene, with a late teen/early twenty girl with a disheveled appearance being assaulted by a sword wielding modern warrior looking dude, who seems to be all business. The girl notices the slayersquad before the dude does, and makes like she needs to be rescued, even screaming out how the guy wants to eat her.

Naturally it'll turn out that the warrior dude, who can handily combat the slayersquad, is the 'good guy' and actually the girl is the 'big bad'.

Anyhoo, the point is that I hope that in the comics, they deal with the idea that just because you're a slayersquad, doesn't make you flawless. And that some slayersquads NEED to screw up in order to learn.
 
I'd hope to see Tara come back. As I am a big willow/tara fanatic I think it would be awesome.

Love Tara/Willow. I hope shes bought back! + loving your sig
I'd like Jenny Calendar back in some form. I believe the drama between her and Giles would be pretty intense not to mention her and Willow (Remember, Jenny inspired Willow to practice magicks). A small appearance by Jesse in a dream sequence or something would be good too.

Amy/Zombie Warren to be the Big Bads. Maybe leading a small organisation dedicated to killing Buffy and the Scoobies (Similar to SlayerFest '98 only better because it's returning villains and spanning the whole Season). It could also include Lyle Gorch, Marcie the Invisible Girl, Ethan Rayne, Doc, Drusilla, Harmony and D'Hoffryn.

Also, I don't think we should get exact details on the battle in the Alley. Although, the repercussions of Wolfram and Hart's Earthly influence being taken should be featured. I think Angel characters shouldn't appear until the finale only Cordelia returning would be interesting.
 
I do want to see the after-effects that activating potentials had all over the world. I mean, do you find it more likely that 1)The Slayer Squad and remnants of watchers found all the new slayers 2)The organized groups o' Evil recognized both potential and activated slayer types and started collecting?
 
Me I want a GOOD bad guy, and by good I don't mean nice I mean a cool evil one, other than that I just have to wait and see (am not sure of the relise(SP?) date in sweden)

It's out in Sweden now. Apparently, American comics are released in Europe one day after their release in the States? So says Black Eye Guy...
 
Similar in Australia according to the not so local comic book store guy.
 
My thoughts on Season 8

May be a few spoolers in it, if u haven't read the book. You've been warned.

Ok things I think we'll see:

Buffy is going to have a new romance. Just don't know who/what yet. The whole "missing sex thing" kind of gave that away.

Dawn seems to be having sex, or hinting at a real relationship. That's why she is a giant.

Sgt. Furry (Zander) I think will have a new relationship. I mean come on, love of his live is gone, he is surrounded by chicks in a control room, & I have to say looked like he has been working out. Kind of buff in that seen & the whole eye-patch thing, working it.

They have something like 10 squads of slayers. I am hoping we see a return of some that were in S7. Some that she started training and now are leaders.

I wonder if we might see Oz again. Maybe get a handle on the wolf thing & control it. Like change when he wants to & all.

Looks like Faith will make a return. Have to wonder if she will have a lot of the whole "bad-girl" gang around her. One's that kind of do there own thing, there own way.
 
I want to see some of the old slayers from season 7 like vi and kennedy and rona in there somewhere, at least for like a page or something. lol. i want to see some new characters, probably slayers or someone unique/something that's never been in the gang before.

most of all i want a huge epic battle at the end... maybe leading up to fray... like buffy leadin the 1800 slayers into a fight with the army of demons and then the last picture in the comic is the one you see in Fray with someone, probably buffy, gettin sucked into that portal thing.
 
I for one would like to see an independent crew of Slayers who criss-cross the country as a punk/goth band in a grotty van. Drum "stakes", decapitation by guitar and thrown sharpened cymbals, a crazed effects wizard who is literally so and is obsessed with "pyro! pyro! pyro!", a laconic troll roadie who keeps his hammer around and complains that Mitch was a real jerk during Altamont.

Oh.

And their manager is Lorne.
 
Oooh I also hope we get to see Kennedy totally screw up, AND get kicked to the curb by Willow. And she ends up the big bad, and gets killed by Andrew!
 
I'm hopeing we get to see everyone from season 7 show up sooner or later.I don't know about Zander having a love interest.( I'm praying his bad karma with women is over then again this is poor Zander)As for Faith, I do hope she hasn't change too much.
 
OK this will never happen, but this is what I'd like to see - a time warp story. Buffy meets Fray. In it they tell me why there are multiple slayers at the end of Chosen, but only one in Fray. They also tell me why they were saying the line could only pass through Faith up until Season 6, then they were saying the line passed through Buffy again in Season 7.

Good idea. Although I was thinking that if Buffy or Faith etc, banish all the demons from this dimension then maybe Willow decides to 'un-slayer' the former potentials.

but that would be a bit mean, wouldn't it? giving the girls all this power and then taking it away again?
 
I guess. I don't know it's just a thought I had, in Fray it says that a slayer isn't called again after the demons are banished, so it seems to me that maybe Willow's spell wouldn't last after that. Only explanation I can think of for n4h's question.
 
Well if they banish all the Demons then there is no reason to keep the powers. No, I think they might get most demons out & then go to different places & start fight them. Different times or worlds. Of cores they might give the "potentials" the option, "u fight for us or u no have nice strong powers any more".
