Now it feels real

[catalyst2]

Just in case Joss had been playing the most massive practical joke on all of us, I hadn't *really* believed that BtVS S8 was ever going to happen - but here it is, for real (and we all know it only becomes real when it is on teh intarweb, right?)

In amongst Dark Horse's offerings for March 2007 is this sweet little gem:



"BUFFY THE VAMPIRE SLAYER #1

Written by Joss Whedon, art by Georges Jeanty, 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 . . . Buffy creator Joss Whedon brings Buffy back to Dark Horse in this direct follow-up to season seven of the smash-hit TV series.

32 pages, $2.99, in stores on March 7."

March 7 huh? WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOHOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!

(Sorry for the shouting!)

Yeah, I never got onto on-line fandom unitl after BtVS was over so have never experienced this shared sense of anticipation - but I am loving every minute of it. Except for the waiting, of course! And the fact that it will be *way later* than March 7 before we get anything in Australia

Me too. Started watching Buffy summer of 04. Sorry you will get it late. How do you stay away from all the spoilers.

Given up on the spoiler avoidance. Besides which the combination of my bad memory and the time lapse (for some programmes, it can be up to a year) I usually forget the spoilers by the time I get to see/read whatever it is. I have read everything for S3 BSG, for example but I know that, by the time it gets here, it will be all *new* again for me!
