Buffy the Vampire Slayer: Season Eight

Anyone excited about this comic as I am?!

😱

Interview with Joss Whedon (alot of mentions of Runaways!):

Not really it's time Buffy wasconsigned to what it is. A decent show from the eighties which ran put of ideas at the end of series 3 and was milked for 4 more seasons. It was innovativebut is now dated. Move on Joss I say! Firefly was better anyway, shame it was axed!

It was in the nineties. And I'd say the series SHOULD have ended at Season Five.

And Season Six sucked (Season Seven was a little better; great final battle).

But we want more Buffy dammit!

Firefly was GOLD. Stupid Fox for canceling it!!

😠

yes ninety six, did I sat eighties, brainfart. Also Gellar went off the boil after 3 (she got to thin and looked ill) and Angel left. It was never the same again. Willow became a Les etc. etc. season 4 and Adam was shit. Nah, 3 is when it should have ended.

Buffy should never have ended, you're both insane!

😒

I read the first 6 or so pages of this new comic .... somewhere online, they've already retconned Buffy's relationship with "The Immortal"

😉

I don't know why they made Willow a lesbian. There was never ANY indication she was a lesbian. Half of season four was her crying over Oz. I stand by the theory that black magic altered her genetic structure and made her gay. That sounds logical.

Adam WAS boring. But Glory is one the best villains in the series IMO.

And they retconned Andrew somehow turning straight. I guess it was a tongue-cheek reference to Willow suddenly turning gay. Andrew was obviously gay but apparently he turned straight in Angel. But Whedon said it was a prank. Oh well.

I hope Anya comes back. The Big Bad of Season Eight is obviously BUNNIES!!!!

Yeah, i'm looking forward to this alot. If it sucks, then meh, it doesn't count. If it's good, then good. Hopefully it's good.

Can't wait for this issue...

In terms of appearance and looking at some of the pics here, would it be far fetched for me to say

Xander = young Nick Fury 😂

I am. And I hope they bring in Angel or Spike...

Its some Wiccan stereotyping, if your wiccan and your a female you have to be gay or bi....because...because you just have to be. 🙄

You never know they might start the series again...I loved it.

They were. But Vemp Willow was just wild not lesbian. She had to be lesbian as Alfheim said stereotyping for witches.

Plus Vamp Willow was dating Vamp Xander (and Angel...kinda of) in the "Wish" episode.

huh... to be honest i hated the last few seasons of buffy, primarily for buffy herself... the amount of times watching that show when i just wanted to smack her...

Buffy was a b*tch in Season Six (spousal abuse, much?)

Buffy kinda went back to her roots in Season Seven (but she was kinda arrogant alot...)

All true

added to that was the thing that in my eyes, angel was surpassing buffy in alot of areas...

little off topic, but did the angel comics ever explain what happened at the end of season 5?
