The destruction of Buffy's hometown, plus covert and powerful slayer "cells" around the world, add up to a new label for the Scoobies: Terrorist threat. Speaking of Sunnydale, the crater formerly known as, has opened to reveal the witch Amy, and boy is she pissed. Now: Giles, smoochies, a knife to the heart, and a big sleep. Season Eight continues. Pub. Date: Apr 04, 2007
Since no one else has started a thread, I thought I would. I just finished issue 2 and it is fabulous!! I don't want to give anything away, so I won't say much. It was great seeing other characters coming back in this issue (if you've read it, you know who I mean). I can really hear all their voices coming through. I can't wait for #3!! It looks like Spike and Angel will be making an appearance.

Yeah! I can't wait to get it, I'm going to sneek away from work and run over to the comic book store and get it before they close. Last month I went in to early and he didn't have them ready to sell so I will give him more time today. And thanks for not giving spoilers Jedi Doug...I knew I shoudn't have looked, but I couldn't resist, and you saved me! Thank you!

Okay, just read it...and it made me VERY happy! I can't wait for #3! I'll wait untill more people have read it before dicussing any of the finer points...but I loved the banter between Xander and Amy! That's all I'm going to say.

The dream sequence confused me at first - I had to go back to notice the background had changed from white to black. Pretty cool idea though. I'm even more curious who Amy's boyfriend is now though.

For some reason I didnt think it was out until later this month, luckily I thought to check, and I was at the comic book shop nice and early this morning A wonderful follow up to the great first issue. Im very excited now things are really in motion for this arc, though im extra curious about who Amys boyfriend is. It was nice to see some more familiar faces, and cliffhangers are very exciting, but I want the next issue now haha. I was so caught up in it by the end I hadnt realised that Id almost finished it, then suddenly *over*. Im really looking forward to number 3!

I really like the way Joss made those transitions between scenes, so that one a character is left with an incomplete sentence, and then in the next scene another character picks up, but in a nonsense kind of way. lol. I guessed that it was a dream sequence in the first frame, just because I had the reaction: NO WAY!
No one writes dream sequences like Joss does - they are so real! (true to form of my dreams anyway). Uh, bizarre I guess is the word.
Glad I got the alt cover too!

Can't wait to read this. I will give it a few weeks before getting it though so that i don't have to wait as long for #3 ...Is #2 longer than #1?

I am sooo lovin' this. It's great to have new Buffy. I was totally all nerded over this comic and I think it's totally great!
I loved the dream sequence. I really hope that relationship actually becomes something. Did anyone else pick up on Buffy's "I'll be gentle this time"? I thought that was very interesting. Has it happened before in reality or only in her dreams??? Hmmm...
Zombies are so cool.

Has it happened before in reality or only in her dreams??? Judging from Xander's reaction to Amy (re: the true love kiss), I would think that it hadn't happened before. I do wonder where things are going though. Joss likes to use Buffy's dreams to foreshadow plot.

One thing I hope that they address in this series is how Buffy was affected by the potentials overthrowing her in season 7. Obviously she was hurt and left and yadda yadda ya... we all know how it goes. What I mean to say is that I think they only touched upon it at the end of season 7 because there was so much happening to wrap up the end of the show. I just really hope we get some sense of how or if it changed Buffy at all. I just thought of this as I was reading issue #2 for the umteenth time and realized that there isn't a single slayer from Sunnydale that is with Buffy. No Vi, Rona, Kennedy (obviously with Willow... or not), etc. If they aren't going to be in the comic, I hope we at least get a mention so we know where they are.

Maybe the Slayers that were with Buffy in Season 7 are higher in rank than the others. They might be leaders of their own cells, having more training than a lot of the other girls. And if fate is really good Rona has already died!

For some reason I'm thinking 'Rack' will be Amy's boyfriend.

I was thinking the same cos rack must be up for a bit of revenge, but the 'thing' means it's some demon. it could be a new demon we've never heard of but more likely a demon from the series. my wild stab in the dark would have to have more of a revenge against Buffy, rack and amy both hate willow, so I think cos her boyfriend wants the armys' weapons amy has resercted Adam and instead of a power core is using amys magic. also leave poor Rona alone she wasn't that bad was she??...... Bring on number 3 or better yet tell Geller to get of her arse and make season 8 and then maybe it will have a knock on effect and they'll bring back Angel 6

Maybe not at the lowest levels, but someone as high up the chain as some of these people are being portrayed would have clearance to some of that info post-Initiative. It could be some surviving Turok-Han, or maybe something we've never seen before. Hell, maybe even Joss doesn't know what it is, and he's using the time he's spent building suspense to try and come up with something great.

Umm...yes. Yes she was.
As far as Amy's boyfriend. My initial reaction was Adam. But, no, I really don't think it's him. Then Rack also was a fleeting thought, but I don't think it's him. I really don't have a clue who it is. I also thought that it could be the first, corporealized, or Glory reborn somehow, but I think that either of those would be something of a stretch. I am now going with it going to be some kind of a joke like a "Spike-bot" or "Angel-bot". But to tell you the truth, I really don't think that either. That's the great thing about having the Joss write this: We won't know until he wants us to know!
