It's Buffy--and Andrew--on a mission in Italy . . . together! Awkward? Yes!



Since Harmony's television stunt, the ensuing of general vampire-love from the masses, and the destruction of the Scotland base, operations at Slayer headquarters have been somewhat strained. Rogue Slayers--Simone and her gang--have not been helping Slayer-civilian relations with their attacks against the military, bank robbing, and occasional snitching at Hot Topic. Now, Andrew has a lead on how to gain intel on Simone's plans . . . but he has to go to Italy--now! With Xander and Willow busy holding together their Slayer legions Buffy seems to be the only one with an open schedule to act as Andrew's backup. Hours of travel . . . just Buffy and Andrew . . . Really?



Drew Z. Greenberg, veteran of the Buffy TV show as well as Dexter and Smallville, and current writer on The Clone Wars, teams with series artist Georges Jeanty and executive producer Joss Whedon.







Guess this confirms present day Willow is still alive.You know if Angel and Spike are going to get brought up at some point in season 8 and the events of Damage,TGIQ and maybe Shells,this might be the issue to do it.

Good news, gang -- Andy Owens has just turned in the final inks for long-overdue Buffy #19. So while Michelle wraps up the colors on Buffy #19, I want to thank you for your patience, apologize for the delay, and promise to do my best to keep it from happening again.

Buffy #20 is pretty much all done, and Buffy#21 and Buffy#22 are totally done, so we're back on track. After Buffy#19 hits stores on November 26, what we're gonna do is ship every three weeks for a couple months, until we're back to having the new issue out the first week of the month. Buffy#21 will be the first to return to this schedule, with an on-sale date of January 7.

You've probably read the news that Jane Espenson has joined the staff of Dollhouse, which means she'll be seeing Joss daily while writing her much-anticipated arc, which will feature Oz. Jane makes her Season Eight debut in the issue #21 one-shot, kick-starting the next arc. We're doing some unusual promotions for that issue, and you'll want to keep your eye on MySpace Dark Horse Presents (myspace.com/darkhorsepresents) and other places come the first of the year.

We'll give you a full update here about what to look for when we're closer.

Peace,
