BtVS S8 #12

[catalyst2]

5 preview pages are up at Comic book Resources. These are the first pages of Drew Goddard's arc and, without giving anything away, Drew just nails the dialogue for every character instantly.


The blurb:
"Acclaimed television series writer, Drew Goddard (Buffy the Vampire Slayer; Alias; Lost), takes the reins on Season Eight with his four-issue arc titled "Wolves at the Gate." The gang (yep, Dawn too) travels to Tokyo where they duel vampires with unusual, yet strangely familiar, powers."

Page 2: Xander's line in panel three is as funny as anything I've read so far this season!


Page 3:


Page 4: That is Satsu grabbing Willow, isn't it?


Page 5: No, I take it back - "You want me to assassinate you?" is the funniest line so far this season!

That is Satsu grabbing Willow, isn't it?

She doesn't really look like Satsu. For one thing Satsu's eyes are smaller, and I guess she's not much into bangs. :)

Xander is the high light of S8 for me, he's funny again, after that mopey-ness of his S7 persona.

I loved the dialogue that we see in the preview - I hope it keeps up. Sometimes it's hard to remember you're reading a comic. I'm rewatching BtVS right now (S4-7) and I've just finished "Something Blue". Love that episode!
