(SPOILER) First look at Georges Jeanty's cover for Buffy #32. What. The. Frak. (Jo Chen's cover can be seen here).

And is that our fearless leader?

Is he becoming a character, or is he distraught by having given her the powers she now seems to have?

Valentyn | November 09, 21:19 CET

Or is it a comment on the franchise? Nice Action Comics cover tribute btw. One of the better ones I've seen.

Simon | November 09, 21:22 CET

Actually, if you look behind the train, the reanimated bodies of Wash, Ms. Calendar, Anya, Jonathan, Wesley, Fred, Nandi, Tracey and Tara chasing him with pitchforks and torches. He's running away from them.

is buffy wearing doc martens? shiny!

Sid the Wily Dairy Gnome | November 09, 21:25 CET

Who said "finished"? ;)

Small Blue Thing | November 09, 21:35 CET

Love it.

That is all.

ManEnoughToAdmitIt | November 09, 21:36 CET

Sorry yosafbridg, they aren't Doc Martens: the seam on the side is in the wrong place, the treads in the sole are too deep, there is no yellow stitching around the sole and no tab at the back.

I remember reading a really good quality season 8 fanfic way back which ended the season with Buffy getting all the combined strength/powers of all the slayers somehow. Something about the scythe and Kennedy was evil or something...

Anyway I like where this is going.

aus-mitch | November 09, 21:48 CET

Awesome. Big bags of it.

redders | November 09, 21:59 CET

OMG. It's literally a train-wreck (but without the bad connotations).

quantumac | November 09, 22:14 CET

Georges Jeanty loves homage covers, so this was probably fun. Plus, it is pretty good.

CaptainB | November 09, 22:24 CET

For those who don't know comics all that well, this is (as Simon mentioned) an homage to the most famous comic cover of all time, Action Comics #1 (that's Superman's first appearance)

alexreager | November 09, 22:44 CET

Thanks for the link, alexreager. That was very enlightening! I was wondering wtf the cover was about.

menomegirl | November 09, 22:54 CET

I take it that's also Georges Jeanty and Jo Chen in the background? Nice stuff.

daylight | November 09, 23:15 CET

That is so cool!

ABRAMSology.com | November 09, 23:16 CET

Stronger than a locomotive!! Very fine work indeed, Georges.

waxbanks | November 09, 23:52 CET

WHAT HAVE I CREATED!!!!!

aus-mitch | November 09, 23:53 CET

Quick, get the Buffy Kriptonite!

(Otherwise known as Angel in a tub of jello).

quantumac | November 10, 00:15 CET

According to Scott Allie, that's him in the background running away and Jeanty's crouched down. With Joss of course in the foreground.

And also, does that look like three belts around Buffy's waist in Jeanty's cover?

Emmie | November 10, 00:40 CET

Yeah it does, Emmie. Plus a little bit of skin showing above the belt. Very Buffy-esque.

Angel in a tub of jello

Huh? How is that Kriptonite?

menomegirl | November 10, 01:25 CET

Scott, sorry for mistaking you for a girl! :-\

daylight | November 10, 01:34 CET

Wow, Buffy in a skirt.

jclemens | November 10, 01:43 CET

Will the Shuster estate sue? :)

Great cover.

redeem147 | November 10, 01:57 CET

LOLOLOL.

ShanshuBugaboo | November 10, 02:18 CET

Super girl =) great.

I love Jeanty's homage covers.I would love to see him do a homage cover for Detective Comics #27(first appearence of Batman) with Angel.lol

In distracted sense. :)

quantumac | November 10, 02:52 CET

FYI, Chen's cover is now available for viewing over at the Dark Horse website and Comics Continuum.

wenxina | November 10, 02:54 CET

As is the solicitation and title of the arc.

Buffyfantic | November 10, 03:12 CET

I would guess Fluvogs.

espalier | November 10, 04:10 CET

I added the link to Jo's cover.

Simon | November 10, 06:33 CET

Hmmmmm. I just thought of something weird after looking at the second cover. Looks like Buffy can now fly. So can Twilight. Twilight knows Buffy pretty well. Could Twilight be future Buffy?

mysteryshadesman | November 10, 06:49 CET

I think Twilight has an adam's apple. From what I remember in that reveal.

Simon | November 10, 06:55 CET

Definitely will be picking up both covers for this one.

archon | November 10, 07:10 CET

The Joss-hoss has been getting a whole string of prolific comic cameos of late...

...perhaps it's in preparation for a series lead? :o

Wait, Joss is Twilight? :)

Lince | November 10, 11:54 CET

I'm terribly behind on Season Eight (the last issue I purchased was actually #20...) and I'm a little afraid that I'm not ever going to be able to catch up now. :( However, it sounds like things are really starting to get exciting!

jiggyfly | November 10, 13:52 CET

I really hope this doesn't mean Buffy permanently ahs evrybody (in the ltieral sense of everybody) else's power.
However, if she eprmanently ahs some extra powers the others don't then we're back to "one gilr in all the world" even if there *are* thousands of Slayers.

"Hmm, a very large and ponderable hmm," as Kenneth Bulmer would have written.

DaddyCatALSO | November 10, 14:26 CET

Awesome. Looking forward to it.

wintermute | November 10, 16:11 CET

Heh, I love Georges' homage covers, but he didn't really capture Joss. The facial hair looks more Freddy Femur (from Strangers in Paradise--not a comparison that's favorable, what with the lead of that series calling him and every business type who wears a goatee a sheep) than Joss-style beard, plus it just doesn't look like Whedon. Still, is funny.

I wonder what SMG's reaction will be to the Jo Chen one, heh. It's a very un-Buffy-like cover, all bright and Supergirl-ish, but I kinda love it.

Kris | November 10, 18:31 CET

As much as I would like to think otherwise, Kris, I somehow doubt Sarah actually pays much, if any, attention to Buffy-related products anymore unless she's getting a cut of the profits.

jiggyfly | November 10, 18:35 CET

Of course! Joss is Twilight! It's so obvious now. I mean, Joss knows everything about Buffy. I mean everything. It's creepy how much he knows about her. It's almost like he lives in her head.

quantumac | November 10, 18:49 CET

Wow. Don't know how I feel about flying Buffy but I like Joss's reaction. It's how I envision him reacting to a mob of angry fans rallying against the deaths of Jenny, Angel, Joyce, Tara and Anya (I might be a minority in the Anya boat but I LOVED her!). So I digress...
Again, Buffy as Superwoman? I am hoping they are just temporary powers and this doesn't turn into a farce. I like the idea of temp powers, she would then have to deal with the loss of said powers.

luv4whedon | November 10, 18:50 CET

jiggyfly, true, but fans and other actors from the series have told her stuff when she's made public appearances (like at the Paley Fest reunion). She was informed of Buffy's thing with Satsu and had a reaction. Not a stretch to think a fan might show her the cover(s) to Buffy #32 at some point.

Kris | November 10, 19:19 CET

As much as I would like to think otherwise, Kris, I somehow doubt Sarah actually pays much, if any, attention to Buffy-related products anymore unless she's getting a cut of the profits.

Well, SMG's people approved the art. I wonder though if Seth Green ever did show her the comics like he said he would at the Paleyfest Buffy reunion.

Emmie | November 10, 21:36 CET

On the Jo Chen cover, it sure looks like Buffy's wearing the same outfit as the vision from Anywhere But Here/Always Darkest, don't you think?
