catalyst2 | BtVS S8 TPB out on November 14th

In Dark Horse's solicitations for September at Comics Continuum, comes news that the first TPB for S8 will include the first 5 issues (the long way home arc (issues 1-4) and issue 5, all of which are written by Joss). Just as amazing is the cover - if this isn't the most stunning cover yet from Jo Chen, then I don't know what is

Blurb:
"BUFFY THE VAMPIRE SLAYER: THE LONG WAY HOME

Written by Joss Whedon, art by Georges Jeanty, colored by Andy Owens, cover by Jo Chen.

Since the destruction of the Hellmouth, the Slayers -- newly legion -- have gotten organized and are kicking some serious undead butt. But not everything's fun and firearms, as an old enemy reappears and Dawn experiences some serious growing pains. Meanwhile, one of the "Buffy" decoy slayers is going through major pain of her own.

Buffy creator Joss Whedon brings Buffy back to Dark Horse in this direct follow-up to season seven of the smash-hit TV series. The bestselling and critically acclaimed issues 1-5 are collected here for the first time, as are their covers by Jo Chen and Georges Jeanty.

136 pages, $15.95, in stores on Nov. 14."
