(SPOILER) Dark Horse's official solicitation for Buffy #16. Release date and description for part I of Joss' next arc. Will add the variant cover as soon as it's up.

Perseo | BtVS | 20:32 CET | 22 comments total | tags: fray, buffy season 8

The variant's being embargoed until closer to release date, for spoilery reasons.

daylight | April 05, 20:54 CET

Really? Two vampire slayers and two vampires with souls? Or is that just a wild guess.

Simon | April 05, 20:58 CET

Is the variant still going to be by Jeanty?

insistondoubt | April 05, 21:02 CET

The variant's been embargoed for spoilery reasons after they let out the standard cover showing (spoiler spoiler spoiler oh WHAT a spoiler)? Innnnteresting...

Craig Oxbrow | April 05, 21:09 CET

Yep, still Georges-y. He told Slayalive the variant was spoilery in fact, but I still hope it's gonna come out way before July. DH will have to publish it in the Buffy comics page for advertising reasons, eventually.

Simon, maybe after Drac's slip of tongue, it's THREE vamps with souls.

Perseo | April 05, 21:09 CET

Well the Fray thing isn't exactly a spoiler given that it's on the first page of the arc.

However, the Dracula thing is, damn it... (four issues behind here)

daylight | April 05, 22:36 CET

Wait, July? I thought the next issue was in May...

Ashley | April 05, 22:52 CET

Next issue is in May, but the next issue is 8.14, not 8.16 :)

KingofCretins | April 05, 23:02 CET

Who's "Joe" Chen?

However, the Dracula thing is, damn it... (four issues behind here)

It's speculation based on a remark that Dracula made, not a definite spoiler.

Sunfire | April 05, 23:49 CET

Buffy "suddenly" finds herself in an unknown world? I am really hoping that she's just not instantaneously transported out of nowhere. That's kind of been happening way too much.

UnpluggedCrazy | April 06, 00:44 CET

definitely, Unplugged. i'll be glad to see fray regardless, but i hope they come up with at least a quasi-credible reason.

miramel | April 06, 01:15 CET

Well, this is a setting where "a wizard did it" is a quasi-credible reason. It's one of the things I love about the Buffyverse.

Craig Oxbrow | April 06, 01:17 CET

Ah thanks KingofCretins. I am but simple minded and im afraid I showed my hand to everyone.

Ashley | April 06, 01:25 CET

Well, this is a setting where "a wizard did it" is a quasi-credible reason. It's one of the things I love about the Buffyverse.

Yeah, but they've used the "OMG POOF!" teleportation plot device a few times already in S8.

UnpluggedCrazy | April 06, 03:03 CET

Huh, did I miss something? What remark did Dracula make?

insistondoubt | April 06, 03:47 CET

Dracula claimed that he "risked his soul" to get his powers. This could be interpreted a number of ways; I think that he's simply being overly dramatic, not literal.

It's speculation based on a remark that Dracula made, not a definite spoiler.

And, anyway, why is someone four issues behind clicking links marked SPOILER if they don't want to run into spoilers? Heh.

The One True b!X | April 06, 04:18 CET

My interpretation of the soul thing: Drac risked his soul before he was vamped, so he retained his powers even after the suckage.

Perseo | April 06, 10:57 CET

I agree with Perseo.

UnpluggedCrazy | April 06, 18:15 CET

Well I thought the spoilers were for #16, not #13 (given that covers and solicitations never reveal anything significant). So sue me. (or bite me. Or work at Wolfram & Hart and do both. Hang on I haven't even started reading After The Fall yet...)

daylight | April 07, 01:57 CET

Are we still missing the cover for 14 & 15? I don't think I've seen them yet...
