[Keanoite]

This looks great...I'm loving the Xander/Buffy interaction

[sosa lola]

They've became closer since the end of S6 and they're growing closer and closer. :) I don't want them to end up together, I think their relationship is so much special like this (remembers the hand squeeze in Chosen)

[Kemy]

Talking to Satsu about "more complicated girl stuff", finally going to see some consequences to that kiss then.

[Keanoite]

I also liked the Andrew remark!;)

[Joyce Summers]

This looks like *another* really good issue. And like you above-me-people have already said, the Buffy/Xander interaction is great. They've become even closer in season 8 then they have in previous seasons.
And finally; some consequences of the whole 'Satsu hearts Buffy' thing. Though if it ends up with Buffy turning gay, while this would be temporarily amusing, it was also annoy me long term. Thus, my hopes are for that *not* happening. Hehe.
Though I do wonder who is in the stars for Buffy....hmmmm

[FaithyFivebyFive]

I don't think it will be Buffy turning gay, or returning any feelings... The talk will probably be Buffy gently informing her that they can never be... More than friends, but she cares deeply for her, all the jazz.

But I'd be welcome to being wrong about this. :)

Loving the Xander/Buffy interaction also!

[Allycat]

Buffy and Xander are great together this season. Which can only really spell out one thing: D-O-O-M!!! I so hope I'm wrong on this.

[Angel's vision]

This sound sgood, and it looks like Andrew maybe more ambigous then ever!

[nerd4hire]

I gotta kick out of seeing the little baseball girl again.

I'm liking all the little background details. This is where Jeanty shines.

When Satsu gets slayerfied it knocks her on her ass, and she's sitting there with a tear in her eye, and a smile on her face. She has a bandaid on her knee. Jeanty cares about the characters, and the story background. Simone's strung a hand grenade belt down from her shoulder. In a previous issue she was lamenting being restricted to medieval weapons. The Scythe glows. The slayer thugs aren't just robbing a bank. They're robbing an armory. There's a rip in the knee of Simone's jeans. She's making the rock and roll finger sign. When Jeanty's on the job, you can reread, and look for stuff.

[Kemy]

I know, I love the reference :) he got those Season 7 details down brilliantly, can't wait to read this one.

Buffy and Satsu will just have the brush off talk, Buffy's straight, Satsu obviously isn't, that her feelings could endanger them both and everyone around them blah blah blah...

[The Chosen]

I'm so jazzed for this issue! It's also really comforting to see Jeanty's art again -- I feel like his art has been associated with the show for all 7 years it was on. (Does that make sense?)
