Buffy season nine discussion thread

I like that dark horse 25 cover very cool . now we have comic book day coming next month will there be anything for buffy or angel ?
 
^ That doesn't surprise me. Why do we have spoilers in a season nine thread? Like I said before, people shouldn't be in here who haven't already read season eight! I suspect that Giles will be on Angel's mind a lot in that book and rightly so.

I thought that it counts as a spoiler if it's directly about the content of S9.

Since they will be working the cases from Giles's journal, finishing his unfinished business so to speak (and with the statement in one of the interviews that Giles will be the 'third most important character' in the book), maybe we'll see more flashbacks of Giles, not just those related to what happened in S8. Maybe they're using some of the ideas that were considered for the Ripper movie that never happened.
 
^ That's a thought. I like the fact that they'll be taking cases from his journals. This seems like another theme of redemption for Angel.
 
very cool I like willow my second favorite character in this series.
I can never get enough of willow.

"...will do?" :wtf: That sounds ominous. Maybe they could try to not do things they'll need to make amends for in the future? :lol:
 
wow dark horse doing a ongoing title very rare. looking forward to this fall excellent news.
 
That wasn't very much. The most interesting thing I got out of that article was that the season nine release date is still tentative and not locked.
 
I like the art a lot actually. I would agree that Buffy was constantly drawn inconsistently all throughout last season, Jo Chen's covers were much better at retaining Sarah's likeness. Dawn didn't look like Michelle at times as well. This is one of my few problems with the book last year. Hopefully the art will improve. I'm looking forward to this. I like the pairing and the potential dynamic between Angel and Faith.

Buffy #1 is titled "Freefall":

Buffy Season 9 begins!
BUFFY THE VAMPIRE SLAYER SEASON 9: FREEFALL #1

Season 8 ended with a bang when Buffy cut the world off from the hell dimensions and all supernatural influence. Great, right? Except Buffy has left her best friend, Willow, powerless, and ended the long line of vampire slayers, leaving her hated by the hundreds of girls who recently stood behind her. Newly relocated to San Francisco, Buffy can count on a fresh start, and focus on what she’s good at—slaying.
• Written by creator Joss Whedon, with Andrew Chambliss of the CW’s The Vampire Diaries!
Now all 3 covers for Buffy #1 have been released, and I really like Steve Morris' cover - very dreamlike and surreal. The other two previously released covers (Jo Chen's variant cover and Jeanty's DH 25th anniversary cover) are also excellent, but my order of preference this time is: Morris, Jeanty, Chen.

Two covers Angel & Faith #2 have been released. Very action-hero shots, unlike the Buffy covers.

Following some bad—many would say unforgivable—choices as Twilight, Angel needed to hide away and wallow in his guilt. But with a little TLC—courtesy of his only remaining ally, Faith, Angel is back to fighting the good fight and taking demons down one by one. With the Watcher files at their disposal, Angel comes up with the ultimate plan for redemption.
• Executive produced by Joss Whedon!
• Follows the events of Buffy Season 8!
In the meantime, there's going to be a Spike web comic written by Jane Espenson and called "Magical Mystery Tour Featuring the Beetles" :lol: set between #39 and #40 in season 8. I think it will be free for download in August... but I'm not sure, this is pretty confusing: http://www.darkhorse.com/Blog/428/digital-exclusives-brick-mortar-retailershttp://www.darkhorse.com/Blog/428/digital-exclusives-brick-mortar-retailers
