Faith features in Season 8 Buffy comics - Page 3

I honestly can't wait for the Faith arc! The comics have been AMAZING so far. Anyone who's not reading them is really missing out. It's a definite continuation of Buffy. They're funny, witty and pretty much perfect. All we need now is Faith.

Darn. I wish I could get a copy.

The Faith arc in the new BTVS Season 8 comic will be in issue #6, due out September 8th. Here's a taste of what's in store for our "fugitive Slayer":

"The second arc of our bestselling Season Eight starts here. Top creator Brian K. Vaughan (Y: The Last Man; Pride of Baghdad; Lost) 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. Artist Georges Jeanty (The American Way) remains at the top of his game-and Joss Whedon stays on as Executive Producer-in this first part of "No Future for You."

Hmmmm...infiltration, assassination

and nonstop Cleveland (home of another hellmouth). Wowzers!

Sounds like an normal day at the office for Faith.

Keri · 06-21-2007, 09:22 AM

I stood in Forbidden Planet on Tuesday and sped read the ones so far, they are really good. I'm hoping they'll release a graphic novel of the whole story once all the mags are published?

eliza'snumber1fan · 06-21-2007, 12:04 PM

ive not read any of them yet, they dont sell them in my local town( its rubbish) i have to go to birmingham(forbidden planet) to get them, and its over an hours journey( 1 bus and a train)

maybe i'll wait till there all released

**andrew r** · 06-21-2007, 01:54 PM

I think you're right there Simon. I like Keri's idea of a graphic novel too. It'd be more expensive, but having them all together would be great. And it'd save on speed reading!

asho902 · 06-21-2007, 08:10 PM

Dunno if this has been mentioned before, but if you guys can't get them where you live, they sell them at: http://www.tfaw.com/ They have all the issues so far. Hope that helps.

eliza'snumber1fan · 06-22-2007, 01:58 AM

thanks for the info asho902 *hugs*

asho902 · 06-22-2007, 10:49 PM

Anytime Simon! *hugs* back.

**andrew r** · 06-23-2007, 03:40 PM

Cheers for this!

Andrew, as information, the first five issues of "The Long Way Home" will released as a graphic novel on November 14. Hopefully, they will release these collections on a regular basis. You may want to check this out:

More information on the Faith arc:

Joss Whedon - "Buffy Season 8" Comic Book - Comicbookresources.com Interview:

..."OK, so Brian’s first issue stars Faith and is a four part story. How has Faith changed since we last saw her?

It’s a very Faith centric story, so it steps a little to the left of the main story, although that’s a part of it, it folds into it, but it really is Faith’s story. Where we find her is not really in a great place. Because she’s so hard core and always has been, she’s been doing some of the nastier jobs and it’s starting to grate a bit. Brian writes Faith beautifully - her patter and her attitudes are spot on and with Georges Jeanty drawing her, it’s Faith-a-licious.

How’s Buffy taken the General’s revelation that members of the human race have declared war on her and her friends and associates?

Oh, they laugh and laugh and that’s it!

I’m sure.

Since the next story arc is Faith’s and dealing with the next huge thing, we don’t spend a lot of time exploring how she feels about that, she’s just trying to figure out what exactly they have up their sleeve more than reacting to it emotionally. At the end of the day there’s this cult - and I should mention because people have been getting it wrong that it’s not the American military. There is a military wing involved, but it’s more global and shady than that, so this is not a book about hating the Army or anything like that. But, after the Faith thing, Buffy will be dealing with it on a lot of levels, asking who it is that really hates her. I don’t think she really believes the entire human race is out to get her, but some things are going to happen that are going to make things, well, what’s that word I love? Worse...."
