Let us talk of awesome covers

Behind the cut is this month's alternate cover for Buffy: Season eight. The series has been less than awesome, but I think this cover sort of makes up for all of that.

Now, that is slashfic I could approve of...

Less than awesome?! I loved the Faith storyline! ... I my be biased because I've been wanting a Faith centric storyline since... This Year's Girl and Who Are You in season 4 ;)

The Faith story, like the first one, is just dragging. There was way too little happening. They need to figure out if they want to pace it like a TV season or spread it out to fit into trades.

I just ordered a copy of DC Cover girls. Have you taken a gander at it? There are some beauty covers in there...and they have nothing to do with Captain America. think pin-up art themed around DC best, strongest females and sexiest females. Not all just T and A shots.

The pacing's not dragging for me, actually, and I like the peeks we've gotten into Faith's perspective. I do question, however, how Buffy can still be so irrational about Faith in the wake of their relationship during the final TV season.

And Faith as a Stone Roses fan? No way she's a shoegazer, sorry.

The only really satisfying one was the one with the fake Buffy. It was compact and well told.

I feel like the first ten pages or so (aerial insertion into the castle, etc) were exciting, but after that it just got sloooowww.

The Slayers as WMD aspect is interesting, but they should have put some smaller bits in there too.

I don't read buffy comics, but that is an AWESOME cover in a "homage to the The Avengers" kind of way.

But with a little T&A, right? Because, you know, I have needs.

Oh, yeah. My store actually pulled the A cover for me, but when I saw this one I knew the wife would kill me if I didnt' get it for her.

Emma Peel/Anyone is totally awesome.
