I love these free issues, ugh. I only renewed my membership for these and I don't even get #3 within 2 weeks of its release.

OK I have just watched 'chosen' and read #3 and I have one hell of a theory. the Uber Vamp army and the bringers were just a means to rid the world of the 2 slayers and potentials. With the fist evils plans ruined I think he's now helping general Voll and getting himself a new army in the process to fight the slayers. Now here's the clutching of straws, in #3 Willow say 'light causes a distraction' Amy replys 'SO'S THE ARMY'. but Which Army? ? THe ubervamps army? General Vols Army? the undead army?......thats alot of armys As buffy was dead the 1st knows all about the way she thinks, you have to know ones enemy, and giving Buffy's track record she has a way of winning so heres what I reckon is going to happen. Buffy has friends and they help her out, they are her scoobies. Every character seems to have an opposite, so I believe the 1st his making his very own ANTI-SCOOBIES. Giles- Ethan Willow- Amy Xander- Warren Buffy- Faith? ? another slayer??? or even Buffy herself Remember Joyce in conversations with dead people ' when the time comes, buffy will be against you' I would love to se an apperance by vamp tara from chaos bleeds or Drusilla. So what ya think?

I've finally read the 3rd issue (had to get one on eBay, thanks for BCC's "too little too late" strategy). I liked the fight between Willow and Amy though I'm surprised Willow didn't kick her butt. The part with Willow telling Buffy Kennedy died was hilarious...so JW to play with his fans. And Warren is alive? How? What? How? Willow didn't only skinned him she also burned the remains, how could anybody resurrect one from nothing? And really keen on finding out who kissed Buffy? Can't wait for issue 4! ;D

Getting tired of the BCC BS. They can;t even get the Free ones to me in a timely matter why would I ever consider ordering an actual subscription?

I love the theories d'hoffryn but personally I dont want the first evil back...I want an all new enemy....I guess we'll find out next issue as at the end of issue 3 when giving a lil snetence about issue 4 it says issue 4 sets buffy up for her most epic battle yet...I really hope its not the first evill all over again...and if it is I REALLY hope it gets corporeal at some point in the comic!

I agree about not having The First back. It would be nice to have new bigger baddies. Working in the comic book world, they don't have to work with make-up and special effects so the possibilities are endless for a new baddie.

Gotta agree with the new baddie...but what if it's an epic battle with all the revamped old enemies? The new Initiative seems to be hellbent on destroying Buffy (just like any other big bad), so why wouldn't they try to do everything mystically and physically possible to see the job is finished? They have an endless resource, and the government is freaky like that.

Possible spoilerish material on comic 4....
I just read the first 4 pages of #4, and I've decided now not to buy into this series. I HATE lack of continuity. I'll follow the plot as i have been doing though I guess.

I've been trying SO hard to avoid this thread and I have not read anything in this thread yet as I still don't have a copy of this issue but I have a question: Does anyone know if and when Issue #3 is going into second printing and when it will be released? As I think this is what my local comic shop is waiting for.

I'm not sure when Slayer 489, but I know there will be a second printing. I would imagine it couldn't be more than two weeks away, considering there's such a gap for printing the next series. Well it turns out I'm going to be out of town tomorrow when the issue #4 arrives. Boo hoo boo hoo If anyone picks up a spare copy of the variant cover, I would gladly pay you back many fold! Or get you back in some way. I so can't wait just to read it, and I'll at least be able to do that friday.

I've been waiting for Issue #3 for over a month since it's release now and it's getting very frustrating! I need my Buffy fix! lol. I'm going to grab Issue #4 tomorrow while I can though, although I won't be able to read it until Issue #3 comes out again. Hopefully I won't have the problem of the issues selling out in the future, because I made the mistake of going on the Saturday after it came out and it was sold out! This series is doing SO well! I love these comics and I can't wait to get Issues #3 and #4! ;D

I got Issue #3 yesterday and I love it! Also, it was in first printing! Yay! The fights between Willow and Amy were really cool. And the magic that Willow "decoded" to make the zombies want to dance made me laugh! ;D The mysterious man turned out to be Ethan! I was in shock. And why after all these years would he want to "hitch a ride" in Buffy's dreamspace to help her? And another question is was he the mysterious man who was sitting above the castle Buffy and co went to in the first issue? I guess we'll have to wait and see. Seeing all of Buffy's dream was different. The part where she closed the curtain of her dressed up as a nurse chained up with a naked Angel and Spike made me laugh! lol! It was cool to see Willow using magic again and we can see now how powerful she has become. Although, I thought she was cleansed with white magic when she done the spell in "Chosen", so why did her hair go black again? Maybe it's still there a bit but she has control over it now. Dawn stomping on Amy was so cool! And I too thought she died at first. I guess Dawn didn't press down as hard as she would have liked. When Buffy and Ethan went to Amy's cage, what was that demon that had been killed. Or was that just Buffy's dreams rolling into each other like what happened in "Restless"? Probably. And Xander kissed Buffy and he's still in love with her! Although, we didn't actually see it in the comic. It was nice to see Andrew again talking to Xander. It really made me laugh when Andrew said to Xander that he'd be "bored stiff" when the slayers were playing strip poker! lol. And I'm glad that Renee survived. It was good to see Giles again talking to the demon like the ones from Issue #1. So the symbol and the demons aren't connected... When Willow said that Kennedy died I was shocked just as much as Buffy was! But then she said it was a mystical thing. I liked the interaction between Buffy, Xander and Willow toward the end. It was good to see the three of them talking again. Willow being sucked in the portal to confront a skinned Warren! So cool! That's who the "boyfriend" is. Although, I accidentally saw a spoiler for this. Overall, this issue is fantastic! I'm gonna read Issue #4 later.
