Although I saw the Chen cover for BtVS S8 Issue 6 a while ago, I hadn't seen Jeanty's variant until now


Blurb:
"BUFFY THE VAMPIRE SLAYER #6

Written by Brian K. Vaughan, penciled by Georges Jeanty, inked by Andy Owens, colored by Dave Stewart, cover by Jo Chen.

The second arc of Season Eight starts here. Brian K. Vaughan takes over writing duties and dives headlong into what Faith is up to -- infiltration, assassination, and nonstop Cleveland. The fugitive Slayer is given the assignment that could change her life . . . if Giles's specialized training doesn't make her want to end it first. Joss Whedon stays on as Executive Producer in this first part of "No Future for You."

40 pages, $2.99, in stores on Sept. 8."

Is "No Future for You" the big arc reveal that Joss was talking about? It certainly sounds bloody ominous (for Faith at least - I do hope Joss doesn't kill her!) This may also be the start of the run-in to the events of Fray because all of the slayers are gone by the time of that story. Hmmmm ......

As an amusing side note, when I first saw that tagline, I immediately thought of the Sex Pistols' "God Save the Queen"!

Here's the cover (which I can't say that I like much - both Buffy and Faith look like they are 16 (again!):

There was never an official release, but I got a really nice set someone made from their TIVO recordings. I've of course since seen them for one-third what I paid at Comic Con.

Thanks for that info, catalyst2, I really liked "Birds of Prey" on TV and was sorry to see it end prematurely.
