First look at the very special variant Buffy #10 cover. It's the first glimpse of Robin Balzer (the wife of the winner of Dark Horse's 'How Buffy Changed My Life' contest).

I just love the way that Buffy and Willow seem to be supporting and propping up Robin's character.
I've said it before, but this is a really beautiful thing that Joss has done.

It IS cool that he would do that. I just hope that it's a good read as well as a good... deed...

I can't believe I even typed that.

Beautiful image, idyllic and ideal!

Pointy | September 28, 17:36 CET

Very nice image.

Buffyfantic | September 28, 18:24 CET

Are we thinking that this image is the alternative cover for issue 10?

NotaViking | September 28, 18:49 CET

I emailed Dark Horse to see, waiting to hear back.

Simon | September 28, 18:50 CET

I wonder if there will be a Jo Chen cover.

Pointy | September 28, 19:16 CET

Wow, that's beautiful. This is such a great thing to do; brings a tear to my eye.

UnpluggedCrazy | September 28, 19:20 CET

Thanks Simon. Why wouldn't there be a Jo Chen cover, Pointy? As far as I know she's doing the whole season.

NotaViking | September 28, 19:25 CET

Oh, nice. Idyllic is the mot juste, innit? I myspaced mailed Jerrod, just in case he & Robin didn't know yet.

I'm fully confident that this will be a rewarding issue.

QuoterGal | September 28, 20:22 CET

I can't wait to see how they're incorporating her into the issue's storyline.

Also, this made me laugh:

...a mission that fortunately did not lead to me dancing to Prince in a hotel room.

She's cute enough to be a fictional character herself. (okay, there's a compliment buried in that sentence someplace)

QuoterGal: "I myspaced mailed Jerrod, just in case he & Robin didn't know yet."

Jerrod and Robin saw Jeanty & Stewart's drawing today, and he wrote about his and Robin's reactions, as well as Robin's general health on his myspace blog - all of which is very gratifying to read. Truly.

"So I pulled up another chair to the computer and sat her down. When I showed her the glimpse, her face lit up, she grinned ear to ear and said, 'That's me? That's me! That's me!'

She's officially back on Cloud 9."

(I didn't know if this should have its own front-page entry or not - if anyone thinks it should, they should feel free to do it. And I also just quoted my own self in this post, which is weird.)

QuoterGal | September 29, 02:18 CET

That's lovely, QuoterGal!

UnpluggedCrazy | September 29, 07:46 CET

That is so cool! I am very happy for Robin!

Buffysmglover | September 29, 09:17 CET

Dark Horse got back in touch to say that it is the alternate cover for #10.

Simon | October 02, 20:57 CET

Neat-o, Simon, thanks. It's double sweet or something like that.

Well, anyway, it's cool, and how nifty for Robin.

QuoterGal | October 03, 01:56 CET

I am so excited to see this storyline. She looks so beautiful on this cover, and it's great to see the world of chronic mental illness brought into the public eye in such a fantastic way, as part of a heroic storyline, as part of the world of people making a difference. I don't know if this the right place to discuss it, but let me just say I have a personal stake in this. Thank you Joss, Robyn, and Jerrod.
